Happy belated birthday to Zaya Wade! The daughter of NBA star Dwyane Wade celebrated her 16th birthday May 29. Her father and Gabrielle Union took to social media to congratulate her on her milestone birthday.
Union posted a carousel of photographs on Instagram, in which she is seen posing next to Zaya in several snapshots. The actor also included some family photographs with Dwyane, posing in fashion-forward outfits (if you like fashion, you may want to check out their outfits for major fashion inspiration).

“Let’s go!” commented Dwyane Wade under Union’s post.
The former NBA player is echoing himself hyping up his daughter in a video in which we see Zaya showing off her best model walk.
Wade made his own Instagram post to celebrate her birthday. He included some behind-the-scenes photographs of Zaya during modeling shoots and some family footage.

The model was featured on her first magazine cover last April, and she was profiled as part of DAZED’s Spring 2023 issue. The achievement came weeks after she made her runway debut at Paris Fashion Week, where she walked for Miu Miu.
Just this year, Zaya started pursuing her modeling career and was legally permitted to change her name and gender.
