"I'm obsessed with your happiness! Happy 14th birthday @zayawade," wrote Dwayne.
The actress and her husband came out to publicly share their life's journey since Zaya broke the news that he was transgender in 2020.
"When I look at Zaya, I get hope," 39-year-old Wade said in the interview with People.
He went ahead to reveal that he and Union started discussing Zaya's gender issue when she was three years old.
On her part, Union revealed that when Zaya came out as transgender, they received lots of love and information from the public.
"I didn't have many resources, so I just reached out to everyone I knew from social media. Everyone responded with love, resources, and information," she said.
The celebrity couple supports the LGBTQ+ community through a foundation they run christened the Wade Family Foundation.

"What I love about our home is that everybody is unique, and we allow their uniqueness to shine," she expressed.
Dwayne and Union also have a 2-year-old daughter Kaavia, in addition to seven-year-old Xavier who Dwayne came into the relationship with.
Some months ago, Legit.ng reported that the Hollywood actress went all out in celebrating her husband on the occasion of his 39th birthday.
