Dwyane Wade just rang in his 39th birthday, but his kids are not fans of the way he chose to celebrate. On Monday, Jan. 18, the day after his birthday, Wade posted a nude photo of himself that shows his wife, Gabrielle Union, standing strategically in front of him. The former NBA player captioned the photo, "Birthday behavior‼️ 39 is already looking up." The image has nearly a million likes, but Wade's children were not among the many people who were happy to see the pic in their feed.

His kids' reactions were strong.
Dwyane Wade/InstagramWade has two children from his first marriage, Zaire and Zaya, a daughter named Kaavia with Union, and a son named Xavier from a previous relationship.
Eighteen-year-old Zaire commented on Wade's Instagram and made his feelings crystal clear. "This isn’t what i wanted to wake up to," Zaire wrote with a puke emoji, a comment that's garnered over 48,000 likes and counting.
Thirteen-year-old Zaya, who is 13, commented, "Ayooooo chill, I just got on" with a bunch of horrified emojis. Her account says "run by parents," but that comment sounds like the teen really wrote it herself.
Her toddler sister, however, definitely had some help. Kaavia's account posted, "Thought I had more time before his midlife crisis." We can only assume Union is responsible for that great line.
