AceShowbiz - Dwyane Wade is seemingly suspected of making fashion statement with his photoshoot for GQ magazine. The retired professional basketball player has sparked speculation about his sexuality after his picture for Denim's New Age in the March issue of the publication was released online.
In the image shared by GQ magazine and also posted on the former athlete's Instagram page, the 42-year-old sported a pair of light blue jeans, a simple white T-shirt, black cowboy boots and a neutral hat. He put his two hands in front of waist while looking at the camera.
While there's nothing offensive about the pose or the outfit, for some reason people think that Dwyane had a hidden message with the photoshoot. Weighing in on the snap, many urged the former NBA star to "come out" of the closet.
"Just come on out," one wrote in the comments section of the post. Another also urged the father of four, "Just come out and get it over with dammm." A third claimed, "He's officially out the closet."
"Ok lil nas wade," a fourth person penned, giving a twist to Lil Nas X's name. A fifth user remarked, "Bro went from supporting to participating," referring to Dwyane's support for the LGBTQ+ community.
"Switching it up just like his kid. That's a supportive dad," a sixth person speculated, while another said, "He was my hero before he sold his soul." Another disappointed fan exclaimed, "Damn!! what happened to Wade!"
Amid the wild claims made about Dwyane based on his photo for GQ magazine, one person defended him. "So much outrage over someone wearing some jeans, a T-shirt and cowboy boots. The only people in with agendas are the ones coming up with agendas," the said person hit back at the trolls.
Dwyane has been married to Gabrielle Union since 2008 and welcomed a daughter with the actress in 2018. He shares two children, including Zaya Wade, with his ex-wife Siohvaughn Funches. He also has a child from his past relationship with Aja Metoyer.
