Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union are getting some sunshine this holiday season.
The couple is vacationing in Maui with their daughter Kaavia, Wade’s son Zion and Union’s sister Tracy, reports HuffPost. The retired NBA star and the actress have been posting pictures and videos of their sunny holiday, making everybody stuck in the snow very jealous.
In addition to capturing the family in matching Christmas pajamas, they also shared their musical abilities.
The family used Wade’s new Tik Tok account to create a music video to Wilson Phillips’ “Hold On.”
The video, which has also been posted to both of the stars' Instagram accounts, shows Wade, Union, Tracy and Shady Baby singing and dancing along to the 1990 hit.
The Bring It On star continued the musical fun on her own, posting a second video to Instagram, this time prancing through palm trees while Blondie’s “The Tide Is High” plays in the background.
The family looks to be enjoying their holiday away. It's their first time vacationing since Wade retired from his 16-year pro basketball career, according to Union’s Instagram.
But two members of the clan have been visibly missing from the beach. Wade’s oldest son Zaire and nephew Dahveon Morris, who Wade has custody of, missed out on the family fun. According to the 37-year-old’s Instagram, the two couldn’t attend because of basketball season. He did make sure his children weren’t left out on Christmas though, posting a video of them opening presents he got them.
Wade recently appeared on Showtime Basketball’s video podcast All The Smoke with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson and talked to his fellow former NBA stars about his role as a father, as Blavity previously reported.
“But once I got that opportunity to be there more, I think it was beneficial for both of us. I needed them and they needed me,” he said of gaining full custody of his kids.
Wade has consistently shown how great of a father he is and has become a role model specifically for Black parents of a child who is a part of LGBTQ+ community.
I’ve seen some post-thanksgiving hate on social about my family photo. Stupidity is apart of this world we live in—so i get it. But here’s the thing—I’ve been chosen to lead my family not y’all. So we will continue to be us and support each other with pride, love & a smile! ✌????

“I watched my son from day one become into who she now eventually has come into. And for me, it’s all about nothing changes with my love. Nothing changes with my responsibilities. Only thing I have to do now is get smarter and educate myself more and that’s my job,” he said of his son Zion.
Here's to hoping we get to see a reenactment of a Clovers cheer next year.
