‘My Girl Ate Everybody Up’: Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade’s Daughter Kaavia James Steals the Show In Modeling Shoot

The latest video of Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade‘s youngest daughter has fans suggesting she seriously take up modeling.

Four-year-old Kaavia James looked adorable while practicing a few poses in a new video shared on her Instagram account.

Kaavia wore a gray hooded jumpsuit paired with pink winter boots as she posed while standing on a chunk of crunchy snow on an outside deck. An adult voice in the background questioned if the young star was showing how she would pose in future group pictures.

At one point, Kaavia posed with her hands on her hips as she smiled at the camera.

The video was set to the song “Look At Her Now” by Selena Gomez and posted on Kaavia’s page with the caption, “When you only go up to the snow for IG purposes and you gotta organize the girlies for the group shot. #WatchAndLearn #ShadyBaby.”

Fans loved the cute video and noted Kaavia’s perfect picture poses. One fan replied, “I just know my girl ate everybody up in that shot.”

Another fan wrote, “That ‘hip’ action is on point.”

One replied, “Kaav is gonna be a star. There’s no way around it.”

Several fans remarked on Kaavia’s comment when she was finished posing and said, “I’m gonna get out of this snow now.”

One fan said, “Kaavia, you are so awesome!! ‘Let me get out this snow now.'”

“She knew her limit at the end,” another remarked.

Kaavia also has a Twitter page, where she also shares photos and videos with her mom and dad. Her most recent video was shared on Feb. 4, which showed the youngster who returned home from school with her hair unkempt, thanks to the former NBA player.

Wade can be heard in the background saying, “It didn’t look like that this morning!” Another video shows the Shady Baby visibly unimpressed with her dad gifting her Versace sunglasses.

“Oh you fly,” said Wade while he hyped up his daughter. The short clip ends with Kaavia walking away as “Versace” by Migos played in the background.

Kaavia is Wade and Union’s youngest child. Wade also has three more children, Zaire, Zaya, and Xavier Zechariah Wade.

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.
