Mendes and Union go way back during their time in Hollywood (pictured above in 2005) and have something else in common these days — they both design their own namesake collaborations for New York & Company.
Union has supported Mendes’ collection in the past, wearing a strapless floral-print A-line dress, which Mendesapplauded on Facebook, captioning the photo: “Oh. My. Stars.Gabrielle Unionin Eva Mendes forNew York & Company. Breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you mama.”
Recently, Mendes plugged Union’s collection when sheclapped back to a critic who called her designs “ugly.”The commenter replied to an Instagram of Mendes showing off a new dress in the collection writing, “Dont like these designs you need a better Designer you to [sic] pretty for these ugly patterns.”
Union’s latest post and uplifting caption come after her husband, retired NBA starDwyane Wade,opened uptoRobin RobertsonGood Morning Americaabout how he and his family are supporting his daughter, Zaya, who recently revealed she identifies as female.
In their candid chat, Wade revealed that Zaya, 12, — whom he shares with ex-wife Siohvaughn Funches — had long been aware of her gender identity.
“She’s known it for nine years. She’s known since she was 3 years old,” Wade, 38, said. “Along this way we’ve asked questions and we’ve learned. But she’s known.”
Asked how long he’s known, Wade said that he was keenly conscious in the beginning of one thing and one thing only: that he needed to confront some of his own biases and open himself up to his child’s feelings.The athlete told Roberts that Zaya actually helped educate Wade and his wife on what it means to be transgender, after doing the research herself.
Last week when the news was announced, Unionshared a series of heartwarming tweetsraving over Zaya.
“Meet Zaya. She’s compassionate, loving, whip smart and we are so proud of her,” Union, 47,wrotealongside a video of Zaya, who can be heard stressing the importance of being “true to yourself.”
“It’s ok to listen to, love & respect your children exactly as they are. Love and light good people,” Union added.
