Who’s cuter?

Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade fans discovered the answer to this question when the stars’ daughter and pet recently had a cute stare-down with one another.

The moment was captured in a photo, which was then uploaded to the famous parents’ baby girl’s Instagram account Sunday, March 17.

“If this dog thinks he’s gonna out cute me, he’s got another thang comin’.” the caption of the pic read. It looks as if young Kaavia James Union Wade is not going to allow French Bulldog Tre’ Wade outdo her when it comes to who’s more worthy of making hearts burst with cuteness overload.

Fans cracked up at how serious Kaavia James, who has earned the nickname Shady Baby for her serious expressions, looked at the Frenchie, who is one of five dogs in the Union-Wade household.

“Her look though 🤣”

“Lol! You go ‘Shadybaby’! Lol!🤣🤣😎😎🎈🎈”

“‘I’ve said what I said…for the last time!’ 🤣”

They also couldn’t help but remark about how cute the interaction was between the two.

“She is so adorable!. Those cheeks 💗”

“Awww so cute..hey dwoggie..you kute TOO😄”

“SOooo ADORABLE!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍😍😍”

The photo means Kaavia James, the youngest of Wade’s three children and his live-in nephew, is back on her brand after she gave fans a glimpse of her smile in a video uploaded to her actress mom’s Instagram account earlier this month.

“Don’t Worry. Be Happy. A little joy for the timeline 👼🏾” Union wrote in the caption of the March 5 video. Little Kaavia James raised her arms above her head and showed off a gummy grin as Bobby McFerrin’s “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” played over the clip.

The move delighted most fans but there were a few who were longing for the days when the 4-month-old lived up to her Shady Baby moniker.

The smile still remains on the baby’s page. Still, a glimpse of some of the captions affirm that grin or not, Kaavia James still knows how to throw some shade. A recent example came March 9 when Kaavia James looked back behind her smirking as Union held her.

“She just realized I stopped following her weeks ago. 😒👼🏾 #shadybaby,” the caption read.

 

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
