Ellen DeGeneres [1] described Kaavia James Union Wade as the "most adorable baby," adding, "and yet I've never seen a more serious baby in my life" — and she wasn't wrong. In a recent virtual interview with the talk show host, Gabrielle Union [2] spoke about her famously expressive 1-year-old [3], who already has over a million Instagram followers to her name.

"She's like the George Carlin of babies," Gabrielle said, comparing her daughter to the sardonic comedian. The Being Mary Jane star added: "She's pure comedy, but absolutely dead serious. She's just stone-faced. She is unbothered and unimpressed at all times."

In addition to praising Kaavia's demeanor, the purpose of the interview was to discuss Gabrielle's debut children's book, Welcome to the Party [5]. "We wanted to be able to show Kaav that we were so excited for her," she said. Touching on her experience with surrogacy [6], Gabrielle said, "Even though she was brought into our lives in a more nontraditional way, we wanted to celebrate her in the same way that every baby, or most babies, are celebrated and cheered on."
