The lawsuit was about how her actions negatively affected my kids. That’s the whole point of it. When what she did and said started to impact my sons, I couldn’t stay silent anymore. I feel broken about everything that’s happened. Today, I feel hurt and had to turn to God for comfort. I always go back to God when I need answers, especially with the pain my grandchildren have faced.
So, you’ve been keeping up with all the latest on Gabrielle Union and Dwayne Wade’s marriage, right? Well, get ready for some jaw-dropping news! Dwayne Wade’s ex-wife, Siobhan Funches, who’s also the mom of his first two kids, has stepped into the spotlight and is spilling some major tea on him and Gabrielle. And let me tell you, it’s intense!
Siobhan brought some solid proof to back up her claim that Gabrielle influenced their daughter Zaya’s decision to transition, supposedly for some kind of gain. She didn’t hold anything back. Siobhan accused Gabrielle of playing mind games with Zaya and keeping her away from her real mom. There’s a ton of drama unfolding, and I’ll make sure to keep you updated on every shocking detail!
Zaya, who was born a boy, came home one day and said, ‘Hey, I need to talk to you guys. I think I’m ready to live my truth. I want to be referred to as she and her and would love for you to call me Z.’
There have been numerous updates on the Gabrielle Union and Dwayne Wade drama, making it easy to lose track. In case you missed it, gossip blog DeuxMoi recently revealed that Dwayne and Gabrielle are on the outs due to another cheating scandal. DeuxMoi reported, “Dwayne is very close to a woman, not Gabrielle. He was spotted getting very close to her and spoke to her very intimately while I was there for two hours.”
Gabrielle’s social media posts have been intriguing as well. On Instagram, she wrote, “When clarity, youth, and transparency are present, there’s only room for evolution.” On Snapchat, she shared a picture of their daughter with the caption, “I’d do anything for her peace.” Additionally, someone mentioned that Dwayne keeps posting pictures with the kids, but not with Gabrielle. Gabrielle has only been posting with their daughter and not their other child.
An insider suggested that if Dwayne and Gabrielle ever separate, they might handle it like Will and Jada—keeping it quiet and maintaining a united front for years if necessary. This revelation intensified the drama, with insiders reporting that Dwayne is on the down low and that Gabrielle has been his beard. This isn’t entirely shocking, as Jaguar R spilled the tea last year: “They ain’t doing as much now because they getting old, I guess. It just moved over to the Wade house.”
Energy transfers, energy transfers. This isn’t about their trans daughter; it’s about an artist who was recently invited to a party at their house. Everything seemed normal upfront until they went to the back and found a bunch of old and young boys, all naked, in the Wade house.
Now that you’re up to speed, let’s dive into the serious allegations Dwayne Wade’s ex-wife, Siobhan Funches, is making, especially about Gabrielle. Since news of Dwayne and Gabrielle’s split broke, there’s been a lot of concern about what’s in store for Zaya now that Gabrielle might not be a constant presence in her life. Zaya and Gabrielle have always had a very close bond, and people are worried about how Zaya will cope with the situation, especially as she undergoes a very public transformation with millions watching her every move.
There’s been a lot of chatter about this situation. Siobhan claims that Zaya is in this position because Gabrielle allegedly pushed her to change her identity. According to Siobhan, Gabrielle wanted the attention that comes with having a child in the LGBTQ+ community but didn’t want to put her own daughter in the spotlight. So, she supposedly turned to Zaya. Since Kaavia is still too young to understand gender identity, Siobhan suggests that Gabrielle subtly manipulated Zaya, planting doubts until Zaya believed she wanted to identify as a trans woman.
Dwayne, on the other hand, says that Zaya has always known deep down that she was meant to be a girl and opened up about it when she felt the time was right. He recalls Zaya sitting the family down and saying, “I don’t think I’m gay; I identify as a young lady.” According to him, Zaya has known this since she was three years old.
Siobhan firmly believes that Dwayne and Gabrielle are lying to cover up the real story. She argues that they are pushing Zaya into something she might not truly want, all for attention and fame. Siobhan even suggests that Dwayne might be living vicariously through Zaya or fulfilling a personal fantasy, pointing to recent rumors and his admission to crossdressing in the past. She questions whether Dwayne secretly wants to be a trans woman and if this is why he’s encouraging Zaya to adopt an identity that isn’t biologically hers.
Reflecting on his own childhood, Dwayne shared, “As kids, I used to put on heels and do whatever my sisters did. I tried to do those things.”
If this is true, do you know what’s really messed up about all this? Siobhan just dropped some major bombshells about how Gabrielle and Dwayne kept her away from Zaya throughout this whole ordeal. She claimed that Gabrielle was so obsessed with being Zaya’s mom that she not only shut Dwayne out from co-parenting with Siobhan but also went out of her way to stop Siobhan from seeing Zaya.
But wait, there’s more. Siobhan also spilled that Gabrielle not only had an affair with Dwayne while he was married to her but also worked hard to keep Siobhan away from her own kids. Gabrielle painted herself as the perfect stepmother while making Siobhan look like the crazy, jealous ex-wife who was also a bad mom. So, while Zaya was coming out to friends and family, she was basically cut off from her real mom, Siobhan.
Remember that messy confrontation last year (or was it earlier this year?) when Dwayne announced he was changing Zaya’s name and gender on official documents? Siobhan was strongly against it, but Gabrielle and Dwayne twisted it to make her seem transphobic, implying she couldn’t accept Zaya for who she is.
It’s interesting to note that Dwayne usually doesn’t air his private issues in public, so him going public with this drama seems like a PR move. According to Siobhan, that’s exactly what it was. In Dwayne’s statement, he said, “Since this must be the new way of parenting, I guess I have to address these allegations here, which is a shame. I’ve seen social media posts accusing me of forcing our 15-year-old to be someone she’s not and to do something against her will. These are serious and harmful allegations that have hurt our children. No one in our house would ever force Zaya or any of our kids to do anything against their will, much less force an identity on them. This isn’t a game for my family and definitely not for Zaya. I won’t sit back this time and let her make a mockery of my dedication to my family.”
Let me explain what’s going on. Siobhan wasn’t against Zaya embracing her true self as a trans person. She was all for Zaya’s journey. Her main point was simple: Zaya should make these big life decisions when she’s old enough to understand and choose for herself, without being influenced by Gabrielle and Dwayne. Siobhan didn’t have an issue with Zaya’s sexuality or gender identity; she just wanted the legal stuff to wait until Zaya turned 18. I mean, Zaya couldn’t legally sign for things without her parents’ consent anyway, so why rush?
But there’s more to the story. Siobhan also had a problem with how Gabrielle was handling things, feeling like it was all about Gabrielle’s obsession with publicity. Transitioning is a very personal and often tough process, even for adults, and it’s even harder when it’s happening in the public eye. Siobhan got this and wanted Zaya to go through it more privately. However, she felt that Gabrielle and Dwayne had other plans and were using the situation to get as much attention as possible. Ever since Zaya came out, she’s faced a ton of online hate, which is a lot for anyone, especially a 15-year-old, to handle.
Siobhan also brought up concerns about money. She said Gabrielle and Dwayne were set to profit from Zaya’s name and gender change through deals with companies, including Disney. “I worry they’re pressuring our child to move forward with the name and gender change to cash in on the financial opportunities from these companies,” she said. “They told me they planned to make our child very famous because of the name and gender issue and mentioned endorsements and contracts. Zion, who was there at the time, said that several companies, including Disney, were interested.”
And it’s not just Siobhan who’s concerned. Several celebrities have also spoken up about this, like rapper Boosie, who called out Dwayne for using Zaya for clout. “I gotta say something about this, bro. Dwayne Wade, you’re going too far, dawg. That’s a male, a 12-year-old. At 12, they don’t even know what their next meal is going to be. They don’t have it figured out.”
Boosie accused Dwayne of considering surgery for Zaya, arguing against altering her anatomy at such a young age. He expressed concern that she might later regret such a decision, emphasizing, “If she meets a woman at 16 and falls in love, that’s gone. It’s going too far, bro. Let her be gay if she wants, but don’t do that.”
In response, Gabrielle told Boosie to stay out of her family’s affairs, suggesting he had too much to say on the matter.
Gabrielle has received widespread praise for her support of Zaya, with fans applauding her role as a caring stepmother. She has openly embraced her bond with Zaya, describing her as a cherished part of her life and emphasizing her commitment to standing by her through thick and thin.
Recently, however, there has been less public mention of Zaya by Gabrielle. Amid rumors of marital strain and reported separation from Dwayne, there’s speculation that Zaya might be caught in the middle. Some observers feel Gabrielle’s focus has shifted away from Zaya, raising questions about her current role in her life.
The situation has sparked debate online, with opinions divided on Gabrielle’s influence on Zaya and her relationship with Dwayne’s family dynamics. Some view these concerns as legitimate, while others dismiss them as attempts to create controversy amidst the couple’s personal challenges.
