While the world has this family under a microscope. they continue to publicly support one another. Zaire says nothing will change between him and Zaya, despite what people have to say about her.

“We did everything together…we fought, we played, we laughed and we cried. But the one thing we never did was leave each other behind,” Zaire said. “I don’t care what they think Z, you are my best friend and I love you kid.”

Man, I remember bugging my mom as a kid telling her I wanted a brother so bad. I was the only child looking for company and someone to look after and take care of. I have been blessed to have my best friend, Zaya with me for 12 years. We did everything together…we fought, we played, we laughed and we cried. But the one thing we never did was leave each other behind… I’ve told you that I would lay my life down to make sure you are ten toes down and happy on this earth. I don’t care what they think Z, you are my best friend and I love you kid, and if it means anything, just know there’s no love lost on this side ✊????

The Wade family is made up of Zaire, baby Khavia, and now Zaya, and they have become the poster family for acceptance of children in the LGBTQ+ community.

I want to be referenced as she and her, I would love for you guys to call me Zaya.’” _____________________________________ Dwyane also shared how proud he and Gabrielle are. He continued, “Me and my wife Gabrielle Union are proud parents of a child in the LGBTQ+ community, and we are proud allies as well.
