Dwyane Wade‘s ex-wife, Siohvaughn Funches, has accused the former athlete of profiting from their daughter Zaya’s gender identity.
The podcast host, 41, made her claims in an objection to the petition that Wade, 40, filed to officially change the teen’s name. “I have concerns that [Wade] may be pressuring our child to move forward with the name and gender change in order to capitalize on the financial opportunities that he has received from companies, and will receive based upon [his] statements to me, on the basis of our child’s name and/or gender change,” Funches alleged in court documents obtained by Us Weekly.
The former NBA star filed a petition in August requesting that the court allow his 15-year-old daughter to legally change her name to Zaya and her gender to female. The Olympic gold medalist signed the petition, but Funches did not.
In her objection, Funches alleged that her ex-husband told her in April that “a lot of money had been already made” in relation “to our child’s name and gender issue.” The public speaker claimed that Zaya was present at the time and told her mother that Disney was a “prospective” business partner.
“I am concerned that our child is being commercialized at a young age and also of the uncontrollable consequences of media exposure i.e. cyber bullying, statements and/or pictures taken out of context of our child, and unwanted spotlight focused on our child,” Funches continued. “I contend that our child should be given the opportunity to decide for themselves at the age of majority if they want to move forward with changing their name and/or gender. As such, I respectfully request that the Court deny Petitioner’s requested relief.”
Wade and Funches, who split in 2007, are also the parents of

Filmmaker James Gray has arguably been trying to avoid himself and his past these last few years, perhaps in order to create something new. A filmmaker who has spent much of his time exploring America and his roots in New York, with humanistic, moral, and family stories about class within the genre of crime (“Little Odessa,” “The Yards,” “We Own The Night”), in the last few years of his filmmaking career, Gray has seemingly gone as far away from New York as possible, into the jungles of the amazon for “The Lost City Of Z” (2014) and into the far reaches of outer space for “Ad Astra” (2019). And while those films have expanded the palette of his preoccupation, “Ada Astra” in particular tackling ideas of American exceptionalism and its myths, perhaps both films—still centered on class, family, fatherhood and more— demonstrated, as far as he travels, the filmmaker cannot escape himself or his human obsessions and concerns.
