Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade’s daughter Kaavia James Union Wade came to this world less than two months old yet but she already has an amazing music taste. Wow.
Kaavia is Union and Wade’s first child together, and she was born via surrogate on Nov. 7.
The stunning actress star has been open about her struggles with infertility and has been discussing it even more since Kaavia came into the world.
On Sunday, Union joined Connie Simpson aka Nanny Connie on an Instagram Live and discussed her closeness with Kaavia, the nanny and which celebrity knew about the surrogacy.
Union explained on the Live that she met Nanny Connie at a very crucial moment in her life. “What people didn’t know at that moment that I came across Nanny Connie is that we had just implanted our embryo into our surrogate,” she said. “Nobody knew. We had not told anyone.”
Nannie Connie then gave what Union called “a soul hug.”
Connie said, “I came to the realization that a miracle was happening and you really needed that soul hug.”
Union also shared the steps that she and Wade took to bond with Kaavia while she was still in the surrogate’s womb. She said she and the basketball star as well as his three kids taped themselves speaking. “The surrogate would play it with headphones on her belly so Kaavia could get used to our voices,” she explained.
It wasn’t just her immediate family’s voices that she heard, either. “Kaav heard everything from Astroworld to Beyoncé to Earth Wind and Fire to The Whispers,” Union elaborated. Kaavia apparently loves the Hamilton soundtrack, too.
“It made that transition from surrogacy into our home a lot smoother,” she added.
Union also explained that Jessica Alba was one friend who supported her throughout the entire surrogacy process. She said she “confided in her early on.”
