Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union list 5-bedroom Los Angeles mansion for $6.2m

Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union have listed their luxury Los Angeles mansion for $6.2million.

The sprawling Sherman Oaks property features expansive 180-degree canyon views which can be seen from the large infinity pool and hot tub, with the property jutting out above the city on a promontory. The grounds also feature an outdoor kitchen with wood-burning pizza oven and a swing.

While it has five large bedrooms and six and a half bathrooms, the large Wade-Union family may have outgrown the property. 

Basketball player Dwyane is father to four children – Zaya, 12, and Zaire, 18, with his ex-wife Siohvaughn Funches, as well as six-year-old Xavier with Aja Metoyer, and 15-month-old Kaavia with Gabrielle. 

The mansion is of contemporary design and features an elaborate metal staircase which connects three levels, wrap around balconies and multiple French doors, which flood it with light.

Situated on a private road on a gated estate, the 8,500-square-foot Mediterranean-style property has dark wooden floors, French doors, a home theater and a temperature-controlled wine room.  

Former America’s Got Talent judge Gabrielle, 47, and 38-year-old retired NBA star Dwyane bought the property for $6million in 2018.

The couple recently supported Dwyane’s daughter Zaya in her decision to come out publicly as transgender, covering the topic in his documentary, D. Wade: Life Unexpected. 

Speaking on Good Morning America, Dwyane explained: ‘I struggled on how much I wanted to talk about it in the doc. I actually didn’t talk about it a lot, but I knew if I put it in the doc at all, it would be a big conversation.

‘We struggled with what people would say about a 12 year old making a decision about her life. But we also know our child.

‘We’ve been through so many different things that other people and other families go through and they thank us for speaking out on it.

‘That’s what we’re trying to do. We know there are other families out there dealing with their kid finding themselves and learning who they are.’ 

He said Zaya had come to him first.

‘Zaya, early on, knew two things: She knew straight and she knew gay.

‘But Zaya started doing more research. She is the one who sat down with us, as a family, and said, “Hey, I don’t think I’m gay.” She went down a list and said, “This is how I identify myself. This is my gender identity. I identity myself as a young lady. I identify as straight trans because I like boys.”

‘It was a process for us to sit down with our daughter and find out who she is and what she likes and not put something on her because, as parents, we put our hopes and we put our fears on our kids.

‘With Zaya, we decided to listen to her and she’s leading us on this journey.’ 

The sports star recently said he’s proud of his wife – whom he married in 2014 – as he says the 47-year-old actress works hard to be an independent woman. 

He told People magazine: ‘She is her own boss and has her own career, her own bank account and all that. [She] has her own life and she allows me to live my life and be me.

‘We both work very hard for our families and we love that about each other. We love that we grind, we go for it, we work, but we still find time for our family and find time to spend time together and love each other.’
