Gabrielle Union & Dwayne Wade’s Daughter Zaya Wade, 17, Opens Up About Her Dating Life: ‘Situationships Are King’ - Page 2

2. She’s single and ready to mingle.

Like any teen, love and romance appear to be on the mind of the Gen-Z beauty. The Miu Miu model revealed that she is on the market and currently dating, although “dating” is a term that is a bit “aggressive” for Zaya. She’d much rather have a casual situation at this stage of her life. 

“In Gen Z, situationships are king. In no way are we opposed to a relationship, but sometimes there’s comfort in not being so locked in. At the end of [the] day, I have to focus on me,” she said.

When asked if her parents are aware of her romantic life, Zaya shared that Wade and Union are “really cool about it.” She enjoys sharing the “dirt” on her situationships with her stepmom, but finds it a bit more challenging to talk about with her dad. According to Zaya, her father often tries to “scare” the people she shows interest in.

“He’s kind of intimidating. The people I’ve dated have all been afraid of him in the first interaction. He’s gigantic and he has this deep, booming voice. But the facade only lasts for so long and you actually see his real personality. He’s a teddy bear.”
