Dwyane and Union welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Kaavia, via surrogate on Nov. 7, 2018. According to Union, Kaavia has always had plenty of attitude. "She looks just like Dad, but I'd like to think the attitude is from me," she told People. "She will stare into your soul and tell you about yourself through her eyes."
Kaavia is quite literally *always* a mood, as proven by her parents' nickname for her, Shady Baby. Union and Dwyane even released a children's book of the same name inspired by Kaav. Union has also been sure to surround her daughter with positivity, and in March, she shared a sweet Instagram video showing herself repeating affirmations like "I am brave" alongside her daughter in front of a mirror.
Union told Parents in August that they're so excited for Kaavia to start pre-K this year. "I hope she learns how to expand her friend circle and feel comfortable with new people and learning new things. And I hope she approaches it all with gusto," she said.
Dwyane also said it's particularly important for them to help Kaavia learn to stand up for herself. "We give her the freedom to have a say in her space, her appearance, and the things she wants to do," he explained. "The only way we're going to know our child is by listening to her, watching her, and seeing what she's interested in."
