Dwyane Wade<\/a><\/strong> won’t stand for people making fun of his kids.<\/p>\n

On Thanksgiving, his wife and actress Gabrielle Union<\/a><\/strong> shared on her Instagram<\/a> page a sweet family photo showing her with the NBA star, his 12-year-old son Zion<\/strong> and the couple’s 1-year-old daughter, Kaavia James<\/strong>. Many users quickly criticized the older child over his acrylic nails and crop top.<\/p>\n

“I’ve seen some post-thanksgiving hate on social about my family photo,” Wade tweeted<\/a> on Saturday. “Stupidity is apart of this world we live in\u2014so i get it. But here’s the thing\u2014I’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!”<\/p>\n

Others praised Wade.<\/p>\n

“Idk if @DwyaneWade & @itsgabrielleu know how POWERFUL & MOVING it is that they’re embracing their son’s individuality,” tweeted user @Miata_Shanay. “(Damnit I’m crying) In our community, being given autonomy over your body, beliefs, image, & statements as a child isn’t a thing. That child is free & happy.”<\/p>\n

“As a parent my only goal is that my kids feel that i see them, love them and support them,” Wade replied<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“Shout out D. Wade for setting the example of a Black father loving and accepting their children as they are,” wrote user @mattblessesyou. “There’d be a lot less trauma in our community if more Black dads were like this.”<\/p>\n

“[100 emoji],” Wade replied<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

In October, online trolls also weighed in on a photo Wade posted on his Instagram Story, which showed Union, Zion and Kaavia, with the caption, “My girls.”<\/p>\n

“Looks like love to me,” Union commented on Twitter<\/a>. “I truly hope that everyone gets the love, support and hugs they deserve. Also Kaav ain’t with the dumb s–t. Peace & Blessings good people.”<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Union accompanied Zion<\/a> to the Miami Pride Festival. Wade was unable to attend but expressed his support for the child on social media, as did his eldest son and Zion’s brother, Zaire<\/strong>, 17.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
