Siohvaughn Funches, Dwyane Wade’s ex-wife, has accused him of profiting from the gender identity of their transgender daughter Zaya. Funches expressed dissatisfaction with Wade’s request to officially change Zaya’s name for a number of reasons, according to court documents. Wade, according to Funches, hopes to benefit from Zaya’s name and gender change through relationships and marketing opportunities with other companies, including Disney. Now Funches is worried that Wade will pressure their child to agree to a name and gender change to take advantage of the opportunities he’s received from various companies.
Siohvaughn recalls meeting with Dwyane in April 2022, in which he allegedly informed her that he could make a lot of money thanks to Zaya’s name and gender issues. She stated:
“[Wade] he advised me that he wanted to make our child extremely popular because of the name and gender issue and that there would be endorsements/contracts involved.
Funches, who mentioned his daughter’s deceased name in the statement, also stated that Zay’s transition will face a lot of media pressure when it is made public. She also said that Zaya had to make a choice to connect with companies based on her gender when she reached the right age in two and a half years. Dwyane has yet to respond to his ex-wife’s court papers, and neither the ex-couple’s representatives nor attorneys have commented.
Wade has the right, according to a petition filed by Wade in August of this year, to request that Zaya’s official name be changed without her mother’s consent. He later said that Funches had been informed of his petition out of courtesy.
