One of the highlights of the picture was that the NBA player was feeding Kaavia, sharing a very touching father-and-daughter moment. In the caption, the proud mother wrote, “daddy’s girl.”

THE BIRTH OF THE GIRL

Gabrielle and Dwyane welcomed their little bundle of joy on November 7 after years of trying to conceive. Their “miracle baby” was born via surrogate. Gabrielle suffered multiple miscarriages and failed IVF attempts in the past. This prompted the couple to turn to surrogacy.

TALKING ABOUT THE BABY’S NAME

While the birth of the baby was a big milestone in the couple’s life, several people have wondered why they chose “James” as her middle name. Some said that it was because of NBA player LeBron James, but Gabrielle took to Instagram to tell the truth.
