The retired basketball star, 42, and the actress, 51, accompanied Zaya, 16, on a tour of the University of Washington in Seattle, and Dwyane documented the visit with a sweet Instagram post.
The trio walked around campus, enjoying some of the greenery, architecture and study spaces the college has to offer, photos and videos shared by Dwyane show.
In one shot, he and Zaya smile together under an umbrella — in UW purple! — and in another, the teen poses between tables and shelves in the college’s famous Suzzallo Library.
Videos the proud dad shared show him and Union smiling as a tour guide speaks, and Zaya wandering with Union beneath some of the blossoming cherry trees that canopy the campus’ quad.
In the caption of the post, the NBA alum could not contain his excitement, writing, “We’re in the College Visits season!!!”
Dwyane also posted some additional shots on his Instagram Story, including a picture of the library’s intricate ceiling and a snap from another Seattle tourist spot he visited: Pike Place Market.
And she receives lots of support from both Wade (who was sure to receive the “first signed copy” of her DAZED issue) and Union, whom the NBA star married in 2014.
In a recent interview, Dwyane — who had Zaya and her older brother Zaire, 22, with ex-wife Siohvaughn Funches — said he strives to show Zaya “unconditional love.”
“I don’t want to just be one of those people who’s just been given to Zaya and she doesn’t feel open and confident in me”. “I want to show her what unconditional love looks like so she can use me as this sounding board through life.”
Dwyane’s family also includes 10-year-old son Xavier, whom he had with Aja Metoyer, and 5-year-old daughter Kaavia, whom he and Union welcomed in 2018. The NBA alum also has custody of his nephew Dahveon Morris.
