A lot of emotions at Adele’s 100th show in Las Vegas and Gabrielle Union Wade was right there to soak it all in. After playing for two years at Caesars Palace, this show was reportedly the British superstar’s last in Vegas. The 36-year-old had earlier hinted that she may as well take a break from music, making this 100th show even more special. And Gab was nothing but completely mesmerized by the experience. Thanks to Dwyane Wade.

Taking to Instagram, Union couldn’t help but gush about the experience. “Rumor has it… She owes us nothing ♥️ @adele. Thank you @dwyanewade for the most epic wrap gift I could imagine,” she wrote, sharing snaps and clips of the unforgettable night. One clip showed Union and Wade singing along to the music, while another captured Adele spreading her magic with Love in the Dark. But Union wasn’t done swooning just yet.

In her IG story, she compared the concert to a cozy sleepover with a wildly talented friend. “@adele’s last Vegas show… felt like having a huge sleepover with your homegirl who happens to be able to sing her face off. What a great time!!!” she wrote.

But if you think Union is Adele’s biggest fan in the Wade household, think again.

Believe it or not, their 6-year-old daughter, Kaavia, might give her mom some competition. Back in 2021, Dwyane Wade’s youngest child won hearts everywhere by dressing up as Adele for Halloween.

Remember Adele’s stunning Schiaparelli gown with those dramatic off-the-shoulder sleeves? Yep, Kaavia nailed it. She even wore gold pearl-accented earrings to complete the look. Often termed as star to the stars by her fans, it’s no surprise that the 36-year-old singer has a huge fan following in the NBA community. This includes arguably the biggest active NBA icon.

The time when LeBron James danced to the tunes of Adele

Adele, as many fans already know, isn’t just a global music icon but is also engaged to James’ close friend and agent, Rich Paul. The singer seemingly confirmed the engagement earlier this year in Munich, proudly flaunting a stunning ring during her concert.

But it’s not just the Paul connection that ties James to Adele—he’s a big fan of her music, too. Fresh off his Paris Olympics gold medal triumph, the Los Angeles Lakers star found himself at Adele’s concert in Munich, soaking in every moment.

When the soulful Set Fire to the Rain began, James didn’t hold back. A fan captured him belting out the ballad in actual rain. A dramatical touch, but James made it magical, holding an umbrella and even dancing with it like a scene straight out of Singin’ in the Rain. Clearly, from LeBron James to the Dwyane Wade family and the tens of thousands at the at Caesars Palace, the British superstar has seen no shortage of love.
