Dwyane Wade’s Trans-Daughter, Zaya Wade has officially become a ‘female’ according to reports. This comes after, Zaya’s mother attempted to slow down the process and not change her son’s legal name.
Dwyane Wade‘s daughter has been granted an official name change and assignment of gender, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE on Friday.
While Zaya has gone by her name since 2020, her legal name is now Zaya Malachi Airamis Wade, according to a ruling filed in Los Angeles’ Superior Court. The judge also granted an official stamp of approval for the 15-year-old’s legal transition that would allow her sex markers on documents to match her gender identity.
Since coming out as transgender in 2020, Zaya has received unconditional support from both her former 41-year-old NBA star father and her stepmother, Gabrielle Union, 50.
