Nearly every time a video or photo is uploaded of Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade’s daughter Kaavia James, people instantly see a little superstar in her. People see her becoming an actor or entertainer like her mom with the singing, dancing, and acting videos she uploads. But this new photo series has fans thinking she could walk down this family member’s career path instead.

Could it be her mother’s writing career? Her half-sister Zaya’s modeling career? Nope, people think she could be an athlete like her papa Wade!

On Oct 8, the IRL Shady Baby’s Instagram account shared a series of photos of Kaavia living her best life while exploring her family’s mansion. She shared the photos to her Instagram with the caption reading, “Household furniture = my playground.”

In the series of photos, we see Kaavia looking like a little princess in her ruffled pink swimsuit, climbing the rope attached to the family’s back porch swing. We see her smiling from ear to ear, and peering off happily in the distance, looking like a little active adventurer; and fans can’t get enough of the sweet pics!

Speaking of her fans, they’ve commented on how she already gives off athlete vibes. One Instagram user said, “Definitely an athlete! I hope she play everything like did, softball, basketball, and track! Basketball being my passion, everything else was just easy!”

Other users added comments like “Little gymnast 🤸🏽‍♂️” and “She is getting so tall and definitely exhibits athleticism. Go Kaav! We see you, princess.😘”

For those that don’t know, the You Got Anything Stronger? author and Wade welcomed their daughter Kaavia, 4, via a surrogate back in Nov. 2018.

In a previous interview with EOnline, the Bring It On star talked about how Kaavia has taught her so much over the years. “You’re not in control. Like, I wanna make sure she has good manners, she’s kind, she’s compassionate, she’s a student of the world, and that she’s got a world perspective, but if she’s gonna be shady, she gonna be shady. If she wants to dress [in] full accessories to tennis, it’s gonna happen… This is who she is,” she said.
