“The shady baby turns salty 🌊,” a new post on Kaavia’s personal Instagram was captioned. In it, Shady Baby leans back to relax against pillows on a boat, with a light blue swimsuit on. Her hair is down in braids with pink beads, and she has one arm in the air to show off her mini-Coca Cola can. Her little toy seal is next to her on one side and a sun hat is on the other. In the short clip, she’s totally relaxed, just jiggling one foot and vibing on the water. She knows she’s cute — and it’s giving us life!

In another photo, Kaav lies on her stomach next to her parents as they admire the gorgeous blue water in front of them. It truly looks like paradise. In another, she gives her dad a kiss over a breakfast filled with fresh fruits. When they finally get to the beach, Kaavia is in full fairy mode, wearing a hot pink Barbie-core bikini with a tutu bottoms and ruffled top that matches her beads.
Slide to the end to see the return of Shady Baby. She’s wearing an orange life jacket and a towel as she sits on the boat, gazing off in the distance like things are not going her way (or maybe she just doesn’t like being cold).

He also wrote, “The Reset ❗❗” on a dancing video of himself, referring to taking some time off after being honored with an induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame last week.
During his speech, he thanked Union.
“Thank you for making our house a home,” he said. “Thank you for making sure our kids feel seen, heard and protected when I’m not around. Thank you for learning every ref’s name in the NBA and for screaming at them so I didn’t have to — saved a lot of fine money,” he joked.
“I know I’m traveling for work this year during our anniversary, so I want to say, thank you for being on this journey for me — with me, these past 15 years. Thank you for learning to love my imperfections, just as much as we enjoyed and love the moments of perfection. I love you.”

Gabrielle Union Wants to Teach Her Daughter ‘Compassion for Herself’
Image Credit: Gilbert Flores/Variety via Getty Images In an Aug. 2023 interview with Parents, Union opened up about her hopes for Kaavia’s future.
“I hope she learns how to expand her friend circle and feel comfortable with new people and learning new things,” she said. “And I hope she approaches it all with gusto.”
She added that she hopes to teach Kaavia “compassion for herself.” “So often, we’re drilled to be compassionate to everybody else, but we leave ourselves out of that compassion umbrella and let ourselves get drenched and drowned in self-loathing and self-judgment. And when you breed compassion in your home, [kids] can’t help but live it and expect it.”
