Dwyane Wade
Outside of basketball, Dwyane Wade is widely known for his caring and family-oriented nature. During his professional career, he was one of the best two-way players in the league. The former NBA Champion goes down in history as one of the greatest shooting guards ever. However, over recent claims made by his ex-wife, the legend could be mistaken for who he is.
As it is famously known, the Miami Heat legend father’s a transgender daughter that goes by the name of Zaya Wade. The 15-year-old decided to come out of the closet in 2012 when she was a mere child. Dwyane has filed a petition to help change his daughter’s name legally but her biological mother claims that he is simply trying to make revenue off of the child.
According to Matt Reigle of the Outkick, Siohvaughn Funches said, “I have concerns that (Dwyane Wade) may be pressuring our child to move forward with the name and gender change in order to capitalize on the financial opportunities that has received from companies.”
She also said, “I am concerned that our child is being commercialized at a young age and also of the uncontrollable consequences of media.” Ever since her announcement, Dwyane Wade has always shown his support towards his daughter while even publicly acknowledging that Zaya is indeed transgender.
Dwyane Wade’s turbulent marriage with Siohvaughn Funches
Dwyane Wade was married to Siohvanghn for nearly eight long years before calling an end to their union in 2010. The alleged high school sweethearts became parents of two children Zaya and Zaire. This was until Funches decided to accuse Wade of being a serial cheater. She also claimed that he was an abusive person.
The baller’s claims were quite the opposite claiming that she was unstable and after his money. Dwyane has moved on ever since and started a relationship with Gabrielle Union shortly after his divorce.
