Dwyane Wade asked her, “at work how did the kissing go?” Union couldn’t hide her laughter and said, “You were at work on that exact moment.” They both gabbed with each other, continuing to tease that it was just work, with both Wade and Union laughing about it. Later Wade was asked if he had any projects coming up, to which he replied, “Just support,” which was adorable from the pair. However, Union pointed out his recent nominations at the Oscars.

Dwyane Wade highlighting family values at the President’s Award
The couple were honored just one day after their daughter was able to legally change her name and gender. Wade used the opportunity to speak directly to Zaya, thanking his daughter for showing such strength during certain public scrutiny. “As your father, all I’ve wanted to do was get it right,” he began. “I’ve sat back and watched how gracefully you’ve taken on a public scrutiny. And even though it’s not easy, I watched you walk out of that house every morning. As yourself. I admire how you’ve handled the ignorance in our world. I admire that you face every day. To say that your village is proud of you is an understatement.” Dwyane Wade highlighted in more detail on how his role is not direct in Zaya’s future, thanking his daughter for making him a better human being and also for showing him and the world what real courage is.
