Dwyane Wade and ex-wife Siohvaughn Funches-Wade ended on a rather sour note. NBA star Dwyane Wade may be a success on the basketball court, but unfortunately when it comes to his personal life, he’s still dealing with lots of issues pertaining to his former marriage. Wade’s ex-wife Siovaughn Funches-Wade has been giving a series of interviews to the media and accusing the Miami Heat star of doing everything in his power to keep their sons away from her. And although she is still permitted time to spend with the boys through the court, she claims in a recent interview that he doesn’t honor the court appointed time and she even feels he’s brainwashing their kids into not wanting to see her. As nasty as things have been between them since their split, it did appear things could be looking up, especially since she did get to spend time with their boys on Mother’s Day. However, in a recent interview with JET Magazine, D Wade still admits he was most likely a “terrible husband” and hopes things can eventually become peaceful between them. He covers the June issue and here are the highlights of the interview.
On what kind of father he considers himself to be:
“I’m the kind of parent who asks my kids questions like what would be your ideal thing to do in the summer? This year it’s Disney World. Even though I make the final decision, I want them to feel involved. Not only in vacations but other things as well.”
He also explains why he decided to pursue full custody in his nasty custody battle with his former wife Siohvaughn Funches-Wade:
“I didn’t set out to get full custody but I wasn’t able to see my kids the way I wanted and I’m not a parent who’s going to run away from his responsibilities. I was probably a terrible husband, but I pride myself on being a good dad.”
D Wade may not be on the best terms with his ex-wife but he says he does hope things will be different in the near future for the sake of the kids:
“It’s been six years and hopefully one day she and I can get to the point where it’s a lot easier than it is now to co-parent.”
The issue hits newsstands on May 20. Check out the cover below:
Somebody is stating the obvious here.
Siovaughn is like, “DUH!!!”
Probably? LOL.
I dnt believe him he’s an a-shole
He and all NBA players are a-holes that smart women need to avoid like the plague.
THIS.
Agreed!!!
Douche bag.
More damage control huh? I guess.
Pretty much!
I’m sure both of them contributed to the end of their marriage but I really wish he would stop using the court to get “even” with her. Just do right by the kids and let her be a mom.
Nah… He was just being the typical pro ball player — a cheater.
Actions speak more than words.
LOL @ this story! I bet Gabreielle told him to say “probably.”
Cute kids.
Dywane needs to sit all the way down and stop the fake-a$$ father of the year image. He is a bad father and was a crappy bf and husband.
It’s been six years and they both need to grow up……I’m betting on the kids growing up first. LOL
Agreed….
