Dwyane Wade Celebrates Son Xavier’s 10th Birthday at Lakers Game
Retired NBA star Dwyane Wade recently made a rare public appearance with his youngest son, Xavier, to celebrate the child’s 10th birthday at the Lakers game held on November 12 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California.
Wade, a father of five, took to social media to share images from the memorable outing, describing it as Xavier’s “best birthday to date.” The young boy received special attention during the game, with a birthday shoutout featured on the Jumbotron. Moreover, Xavier had the opportunity to meet basketball legend LeBron James and was presented with a personalized Lakers jersey.
In a post on social media, Wade expressed the excitement of meeting Xavier’s favorite player, tagging LeBron James in the photo.
Xavier is Wade’s second-to-last child, born in 2013 to Aja Metoyer during a break in Wade’s relationship with his then-girlfriend, now-wife, actress Gabrielle Union. Given the private nature of Xavier’s upbringing, this public appearance offers a rare glimpse into the father-son bond.
The retired NBA player, known for his illustrious career, has been actively involved in parenting and often shares moments from his family life on social media. The public celebration of Xavier’s birthday at a high-profile Lakers game adds a heartwarming touch to their shared experiences.
