“This is what legacy is all about. ❤️,” Wade, 41, captioned the video sharedon his Instagram Monday.
The three posed for more photos together, which Wade shared with the caption, “April 9th should be holiday in Miami! Easter Sunday ❤️.”
In addition to Kaavia, Wade is father to daughterZaya, 15, and sonsXavier Zechariah, 9, andZaire, 20. Wade is also the guardian of nephewDahveon Morris, 21.
As the couple accepted the President’s Award in February at theNAACPImage Awards in Pasadena, Calif., they acknowledged that the intersection of rights for Black and LGBTQ people “continues to be rough” one day after Zaya’slegal name change and gender assignment.
“Zaya, as your father, all I’ve wanted to do is get it right. I’ve sat back and watched how gracefully you’ve taken on the public scrutiny,” Wade said. “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 ignorance in our world. I admire it that you face every day. To say that your village is proud of you is an understatement.”
He continued: “As your father, my job isn’t to create a version of myself or direct your future. My role is to be a facilitator to your hopes, your wishes, your dreams.”
