Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union’s daughter Kavia James turns heads in a special Instagram shout out

NBA legend Dwyane Wade’s wife and actress Gabrielle Union took to Instagram to share a touching beach memory with her daughter, Kaavia James. The heartfelt post quickly caught fans' attention, showing a quiet moment of bonding between the mother-daughter duo. Union’s caption reflected the joy and peace of the outing, giving followers a glimpse into their special connection.

In her latest Instagram Stories, Gabrielle Union shared two candid moments that gave fans a glimpse into her life as a mom and sister. The first image captures a serene beach sunset, waves gently brushing the shore under a glowing sky. Union captioned it with a heartfelt message: “Perfect Day. I have the best sister and friends a girl could ask for. Love you.”
The second image, reshared from another account, features Union and Dwyane Wade’s daughter, Kaavia James, standing beside a young friend at what appears to be a local market or event. Both children are wearing matching “Cowboy Tears” trucker hats, and Kaavia flashes a cheeky side glance, her body language full of personality. She's dressed in a simple yet stylish cream outfit, while her friend wears a pink “Honor the Gift” hoodie and sneakers.
Kaavia continues to charm the internet with her personality, and now, fans can’t help but notice just how tall she’s getting. On April 19, her official Instagram account delighted followers with a carousel of joyful Easter-themed moments, captioned: “hoppin’ into the weekend like… 🐇✨🐣.” Dressed head-to-toe in red pajamas and a button-down, Kaavia beamed while belting out “Hallelujah” with the kind of confidence that only this little powerhouse can deliver.

Kaavia is also the muse behind Shady Baby, the children’s book created by Union and Wade that flips the idea of being “shady” into something empowering. “It’s been amazing. Inspired by our daughter, Kaavia, we wanted to create a children’s book that not only had a little Black girl as the main character but to also give the word ‘shady’ a more positive association, using it as her superpower, moral compass, and inner strength,” Union previously told SheKnows.

But the message doesn’t stop at bedtime stories. Union and Wade are deeply committed to using their platform for meaningful change. The NBA power couple has been vocal LGBTQ+ rights activists and promotes diversity in the workplace and public health initiatives. The couple is setting an example Kaavia can be proud of. As Union put it, “As a family, we also understand the platform that we have and the importance of doing right for our community.” The couple has been very supportive of their five kids.
