Who is Dwyane Wade’s baby mama Aja Metoyer?

Metoyer did not become a household name until it was revealed she was having a baby with the former NBA star back in 2013, while he was on a break from his current wife, Gabrielle Union.

Outside of being known as one Wade’s baby mama’s, Metoyer is now a reality TV star after she was cast in the sixth season of VH1’s Basketball Wives reality series in 2017.

She has also taken up selling health and wellness products over the years through the company Total Life Changes (TLC). 

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

Wayans Jr. is known professionally as an American actor and comedian and can be recoginzed for his roles in Happy Endings, New Girl and Let’s Be Cops.

While not much is known about her life prior to having her child with Wade, it had been reported that she was born and raised in Los Angeles, where she currently resides today.

Metoyer is the mother of three children, daughters Aniya, Amara, and son Xavier, 7, whom she had with Wade.

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 has opened up about her feelings in her new 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 using 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 Zaya and Zaire, whom he had with his first wife Siohvaughn Funches.

Wade also has custody of his nephew Dahveon Morris, 18, whom he adopted in 2011.

What did Aja say about being called a “home-wrecker” by Wade’s fans?

While Union has forgiven Wade and Metoyer, over the years, she has been labeled as a “homewrecker,” because of her child with Wade but she has since spoken out to defend herself and is known for not letting the haters get her down.

In 2021, Metoyer sat down with OK Magazine to talk about her relationship with Wade and debunk rumors that her child with him was just a way for her to get famous, as she revealed her and Wade were friends for over a decade prior.

“I think that a little bit of mathematics needs to be done. I’ve known the person ten years,” Metoyer told the media outlet. “My son is not a break baby. He’s almost four. Do the math.”

“I’ve never been a mistress, side chick, any of those things,” she insisted. “I’m not a homewrecker… I wish I was a little Jezebel, you know? It might have worked out for me better that way,” she then joked.

She later revealed that she had been cheated on in the past and asked “why would I put that pain on someone else?”
