Who is Dwyane Wade’s baby mama, Aja Metoyer?

DWYANE Wade is known as a former American basketball player who spent most of his 16-year career with the Miami Heat.

Along with being a 3-time NBA champion, Wade is also a father of four; however, fans may not know about his other baby mamas besides Gabrielle Union.

Who is Dwyane Wade's baby mama, Aja Metoyer?

Aja Metoyer was put under the spotlight after it was revealed she was having a baby with former NBA star, Dwyane Wade, back in 2013.

The news came while he was on a break from his current wife, Gabrielle Union.

Outside of being known as one of Wade's baby mamas, Metoyer is also a reality TV star.

She was cast in the sixth season of VH1's Basketball Wives in 2017.

Metoyer has also taken up selling health and wellness products over the years through the company Total Life Changes. 

Prior to her child with Wade, Metoyer had two children with her ex-childhood sweetheart, Damon Wayans Jr., whom she has called her "first love."

What did Gabrielle Union say about her husband's child with Aja?

At the time of the baby announcement, Union and Wade weren't married yet but were on a break.

On September 14, 2021, almost ten years after the birth of Xavier, Union opened up about her feelings in her memoir, You Got Anything Stronger.

"To say I was devastated is to pick a word on a low shelf for convenience," Union wrote.

"I have not had words, and even after untold amounts of therapy, I am not sure I have them now. But truth matters."

In the book, Union opened up about her struggles with fertility which led her and Wade to use surrogacy for their daughter Kaavia, who was born in 2018.

She had previously suffered multiple miscarriages trying to have a child with her husband.

"The experience of Dwyane having a baby so easily [with Metoyer] while I was unable to—left my soul not just broken into pieces, but shattered into fine dust scattering in the wind," she continued.

"We gathered what we could to slowly remake me into something new. There was no way to disguise where I'd been glued back together.

"I can never know if my failure to carry a child put a ceiling on the love my husband has for me. Yes, I am Baby Mama number three, a label that is supposed to be an insult," Union said.

"If I am telling the fullness of our stories, of our three lives together, I must tell the truths I live with. I have learned that you can be honest and loving at the same time."

Union also revealed that "[Wade] wouldn't have become the man he desperately wanted to be, and I would not become the woman I dreamed of being," if it wasn't for their relationship struggles.

Along with Xavier and Kaavia, Wade is also the father to Zaire, and his daughter, Zaya, whom he had with his first wife, Siohvaughn Funches.

Wade also has custody of his nephew Dahveon Morris, whom he adopted in 2011.
