Zaya Wade’s Pool Jump Video Gets Playful Teasing From Brother Zaire

The 12-year-old is officially on Instagram.

Zaya Wade is officially on Instagram and quickly becoming an influencer with over 20,000 followers in just five days. 

However, that won’t stop her from receiving a little teasing from her 18-year-old big brother Zaire.
The 12-year-old posted a video jumping into a pool in slow motion. Zaire playfully wrote, “No hops.”

On February 11, Zaya Wade revealed that she’s now identifying as female via a video proudly posted by her parents Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union.
The next day (February 12), via his Instagram account, Zaire shared a picture with him and Zaya from when they were very young and a beautiful message about their relationship.

“Man, I remember bugging my mom as a kid telling her I wanted a brother so bad,” he wrote. “I was the only child looking for company and someone to look after and take care of. I have been blessed to have my best friend, Zaya, with me for 12 years.”

He continues: “We did everything together...we fought, we played, we laughed and we cried. But the one thing we never did was leave each other behind... I’ve told you that I would lay my life down to make sure you are ten toes down and happy on this earth. 

“I don’t care what they think Z, you are my best friend and I love you kid, and if it means anything, just know there’s no love lost on this side,” Zaire concludes.

Zaya shared two outtakes from her debut red carpet appearance last month at the Better Brothers Los Angeles's 6th Annual Truth Awards for her first two posts but she doesn't run her own IG as her bio reads: "Baby Steps... Parents Run This, Consultation By Me."
