Dwyane Wade Talks Fatherhood With Jet Magazine

JET Magazine recently caught up with NBA Champion Dwayne Wade. The wanted to talk life after his ex and his fatherhood style.

“I’m the kind of parent who asks my kids questions like what would be your ideal thing to do in the summer? This year it’s Disney World,” explains Wade, the proud father of two boys— Zaire, 11, and Zion, 5— and legal guardian to his nephew Dahveon Morris, 11. “Even though I make the final decision, I want them to feel involved. Not only in vacations but other things as well.”

“I didn’t set out to get full custody but I wasn’t able to see my kids the way I wanted and I’m not a parent who’s going to run away from his responsibilities. I was probably a terrible husband, but I pride myself on being a good dad.”

“It’s been six years and hopefully one day she and I can get to the point where it’s a lot easier than it is now to co-parent.”
