“You are a miracle who has blessed everyone with your kindness, compassion, elite humor, intelligence and your loving soul.” On November 7, Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union shared a loving message for Kaavia. The Wade household celebrated the youngest one as she turned 6, and the festivities that have kept rolling from the last week of October, haven’t stopped.
“A real-life Barbie playdate to start her birthday morning!” The 4x NBA Champion previously said in his Instagram story. Today, we saw a glimpse of the Barbie theme party. Everyone dressed in pink, a cake with Kaavia’s silhouette in the same color, her name mimicking the logo, and the highlight, a dance floor.
Among the other guests and Union, Dwyane Wade was in perfect sync with the hit Dua Lipa song — Dance The Night Away, part of Barbie The Album. “Barbie world vibes,” he captioned it. Union reshared it in her story and, surprisingly, her husband mimicked the steps to the tee.

After the statue unveiling ceremony, Zaire had shared a post of the celebrations. In one of the clips, he says, “I’m passing the phone to the GOAT, you all check it out.” Obviously, it was his father who was celebrating the special day and shouted, “Set in stone!” As soon as the beat dropped, Dwyane Wade’s excitement got a little out of hand. The disturbed camera angle meant the Miami Heat icon had stumbled and we weren’t wrong.

“This is why my back jacked up today 😂” he wrote in the comments soon after. But seems like he isn’t letting anything stop the many celebrations.

And just days before, right after the statue unveiling, he had his A game up once again. To celebrate his wife, Gabrielle Union’s day, he organized a surprise party. With close friends and family already there for his ceremony, the surprise was at Miami Beach’s Casadonna. “This is 52. This is grown woman s–t. This is being accountable for mess ups…” Union’s caption read later.
So, not only did Dwyane Wade had his ceremony, which the city of Miami and the entire world celebrated, but the celebrations in his family continued. From Gabrielle Union’s birthday to celebrating mother Jolinda and daughter Kaavia, the Heat legend made sure his apparent back soreness did not come in the middle.
