Wade is a father of four, and in 2020 his 15-year-old daughter, Zaya, came out as transgender.

She has since legally changed her name and gender, with Wade being outspoken in his support of her. Zaya was born to Wade and his high school sweetheart Siohvaughn Funches in 2007.

That boy might be a three time NBA champion, but he is a complete failure as a father. When the Book of Life is opened, the NBA laurels will mean zilch.

And being that he’s an NBA guy I’ll bet he spread those ‘bloodlines’ far and wide.

“Bye, Felicia!”

It’s their right to leave and Florida is a nicer place for it. They did the state a favor.

“...his high school sweetheart...”

Were they married at the time, the author would presumably have used the term “wife”.

Absent that, the technically correct term would be “concubine”.

But no. We must use and be subjected to euphemisms.
