Gabrielle Union and Daughter Kaavia Share Laugh In Their Matching Outfits, the Enthusiasm Is Infectious

Gabrielle Union offered up another cute post of herself and her daughter Kaavia sharing a laugh together.

In the picture, the mother-daughter duo seem to be looking at something on a smartphone when they suddenly both look up at the camera and laugh. As they are chilling on the couch, fans can see the two have on matching green hoodies. And while Union is sporting some green sweatpants with her hoodie, Kaavia can be seen looking comfortable, rocking her diaper.

Union’s caption to the photo reads, “Twinning and giggling with @kaaviajames.”

Fans and friends of the 47-year-old actress showed their support of the captured moment by commenting green heart emojis.

Other people commented specific details about the two-second video that they loved.

“Gone Baby Gone” actress Michelle Monaghan typed, “That little shoulder shrug!!!!!”

“Legally Blonde” star Reese Witherspoon said, “Your smile & hers.”

At just 22 months old, Kaavia already is showing so much personality. Cute pictures of her scrunched facial expressions were turned into memes when she was only a few months old. And Union has contributed to the perception of her daughter’s personality with hilarious captions.

Union created a separate Instagram page of Kaavia where all types of pictures and videos of the child are shared. Many of her posts have captions that are portrayed as if they are written by the baby, and fans are in on the joke.

Union and her husband, Dwyane Wade, welcomed their daughter into the world on Nov. 7, 2018. Dubbing her a “miracle baby,” Union and Wade announced that their daughter was brought into the world via surrogate. Union has been open about her pregnancy difficulties and even detailed in her memoir, “We’re Going to Need More Wine,” that she’ had eight or nine miscarriages.

Although Wade has children from a previous marriage, Kaavia is the couple’s only child together.

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
