Dwyane Wade's Ex-Wife Files Petition To Stop Their 15-Year-Old Son From Legally Changing His Gender And Name, Accusing Him Of Profiting Off Their Son's Transgenderism
More and more celebrities have come forward to display their children who claim to be transgender, including Dwyane Wade and his current wife Gabrielle Union. Wade shares 15-year-old son Zion with his ex-wife, and he and Union have been raising him to be a girl, but Zion's biological mother has filed a petition to stop Zion from legally changing his name and gender.
Dwyane Wade, 40, is a retired NBA star who married actress Gabrielle Union in 2014. Their union has been a public one, and they have been outspoken about how they're raising Wade's children together, even though Union is their stepmother. In 2020, Wade told Ellen DeGeneres on her show that his son Zion was transgender and identified as a girl. He started going by the name Zaya. Since then, the teenager has been thrust into the limelight, and he documents his transgender experience on Instagram, where he has more than 600,000 followers. Both Wade and Union have been supportive of his transition.
