"Take Your Child to Work Day" can be an overwhelming annual day at work [1], but for Gabrielle Union [2], it's a choice, and it's monumental for the development of her baby girl. On Thursday night, Gabrielle's husband, Dwyane Wade, shared photos on Instagram, praising his wife [3] for bringing their 1-month-old daughter to work with her, and it's really special.
"Working Mother!" he wrote. "@kaaviajames is cared for and loved on by her mother in between takes. She's gonna grow up understanding and knowing that her mother is a career woman who still made sure she didn't miss even the smallest moments in her life. @gabunion you go girl!"
As an NBA player, Dwyane made headlines last month for his decision to take paternity leave [4] right in the middle of his final basketball season, and he is now back at work and thankful for Gabrielle. Of course, not every career path allows for a new parent to bring their child to work [5] with them so they can spend time together during breaks, but it's clear Gabrielle is making the most of this opportunity. She also shared a video on social media in which she's kissing their baby girl [6] while on set.
The couple welcomed Kaavia James Union Wade [7], their first child together, via surrogate on Nov. 7 [8], and she's been stealing our hearts ever since [9]. Read on to see the sweet message Dwyane had for his wife and more of Gabrielle and Kaavia on set.
