Dwyane Wade's Daughter Kaavia's Adorable Video With Sister Zaya Makes Zaire Wade Homesick

Father of five, Dwayne Wade has had a challenging time parenting his children. However, he has enabled his children to express themselves freely on social media. From Zaya coming out of the closet to the siblings’ spending quality, the Wade family is one of the most tight-knit families.

His youngest daughter Kaavia, although only five years old, has earned quite the following on Instagram with 1.8 million followers. In her latest post, Kaavia shared an adorable interaction with her older sister Zaya. It featured them participating in a social media trend featuring a recreation of an older picture. Kaavia can be seen adorably looking up at her elder sister in admiration and captioned it,

“Sister, sister.”


The heartwarming post gained the attention of their older brother Zaire Wade, who expressed feeling homesick in the comments section.

“Miss yall”

The former high school basketball star has been away from home pursuing his basketball dreams. Despite playing in the G-League, Zaire could not find a home in the NBA, forcing him to play overseas.

Zaire’s basketball journey

Following his short stint with the Salt Lake City Stars of the G-League, Zaire set to Africa to join the BAL. After just one season with the Cape Town Tigers, Wade took his talents to Asia.

In April of 2024, Zaire joined the Macau Black Bears of the ASEAN Basketball League. Although he was away from home in China, his father built quite a reputation with his Way of Wade brand with the shoe company Li-Ning.

The life of a professional athlete consists of constantly traveling away from one’s family. Zaire is experiencing the same conflicts his father faced, but the emotions are amplified since he isn’t playing domestically.
