How Many Kids Does Dwyane Wade Have?

Dwyane Wade Takes His Role as a Dad Very Seriously, and We Have the Photos to Prove It

Though sports fans can't possibly miss Miami Heat's point guard Dwyane Wade sinking shot after shot on the basketball court, they might not all be aware he's the most awesome father to five kids. After marrying actress Gabrielle Union in 2014, the couple was candid about their fertility struggles due to Gabrielle's adenomyosis diagnosis. After experiencing "eight or nine" painful miscarriages, Gabrielle and Dwyane opted to go the surrogate route. Finally, in November 2018 they welcomed their daughter — Kaavia James Union Wade — into the world and have been on cloud nine ever since.

While Dwyane's been sneaking in as many baby snuggles as he can, he's also a father to three other kids from previous relationships, and adopted his nephew in 2011. Scroll ahead to meet all his wonderful children!

Zaire Blessing Dwyane Wade

Dwayne shares his oldest son, who was born in 2002, with his ex-wife and high school sweetheart, Siohvaughn Funches. Apparently, the teen has inherited some serious basketball skills from his dad, as several colleges have offered him spots on their respective teams.

Zion Malachi Airamis Wade

Zion is the second son that Dwyane and Siohvaughn share. Born on May 29, 2007, he made headlines when he attended the pride parade in Miami with his siblings and stepmom in tow. Although his dad had a work commitment and couldn't attend with his son, Dwayne mentioned in an interview with Variety that Zion has his full support. Zion has yet to speak out officially about his sexual orientation.

Xavier Zechariah Wade

The 37-year-old dad welcomed his third son, Xavier Zechariah Wade (sitting on Dwyane's shoulders), with his longtime friend Aja Metoyer on November 10, 2013.

Kaavia James Union Wade

Dwyane and Gabrielle welcomed their daughter on November 7, 2018, via surrogate and have been soaking up every moment with her ever since. According to her mom, Kaavia already has plenty of attitude. "She looks just like Dad, but I'd like to think the attitude is from me," she told People. "She will stare into your soul and tell you about yourself through her eyes." How sweet!
