Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade and his wife, Gabrielle Union, were hyped up to see their daughter Zaya Wade all dressed up for her milestone High School day. Recently, Dwayne Wade made headlines as he filed a petition in the court for the gender and name change for his 15-year-old Zaya. Wade has also been battling legal troubles with his ex-wife Siohvaughn Funches. However, the Wade family was able to put all the legal drama aside to come together for their daughter on her special day.

Zaya Wade, who came out as a transgender girl back in 2020, resulted in a wave of online support from fans and fellow celebrities. Though the family had also faced some backlash due to it, there are always two sides to any story.
