After a long public legal battle with ex-wife, Siohvaughn Funches, NBA all-star Dwyane Wade has reportedly reached a settlement with his divorce case.
According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the Miami Heat guard will pay Funches $5 million, in addition to handing over their Chicago mansion, four cars, and a “non-disparage” agreement where each party is prohibited from publically degrading each other.
Prior to yesterday’s court proceedings in Chicago, Funches filed a lawsuit against the 31-year-old for failure to pay income from endorsement contracts stemming from a 2008 agreement. The motion was dismissed last week, prompting Wade’s former spouse to protest outside of the city’s Daley Center.
Wade’s attorney, Jim Pritikin, has since denied Funches claims via a statement released on Monday;

The latest stunt in the divorce proceedings was when Funches sat outside a Chicago courthouse last week with a sign that read, "NBA Miami Heat star, mother of his children on the streets," implying that she's homeless.
Wade's lawyer James B. Pritikin released a statement in response, saying, "Ms. Funches has made a mockery of homelessness which is a series and personal issue for Mr. Wade as his mother was homeless for a period of time when he was a child."

Dwyane Wade, fresh off his third NBA title with the Miami Heat, appears to have passed on his mad basketball skills to his son, 11-year-old Zaire. Yahoo Sports reports that the fifth grader recently smoked the competition at the John Lucas Future of the Game camp.
Zaire is a point guard and, like his father, is already demonstrating his leadership skills on the court. However, in an act of rebellion that tickles our fancy, the young Wade sports not his dad's sneakers but the shoes of his dad's teammate, LeBron James. Heh.
So, mark it down for the 2027 NBA Finals -- Zaire Wade for Mvp.

"The biggest time she makes my eyes sparkle is when Zaire comes home and homework is a little hard that day, he's stressing, and she go to the table with him, and she sits down until he gets it, he understands it," Wade said. "And at that time my heart is smiling a little bigger that day because I know her love is deeper than just me."
The pair, who reportedly met while co-hosting a SuperBowl party in 2007, have been Miami's hottest couple ever since.

Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade is in the middle of NBA Finals -- but in case that wasn't enough pressure for the athlete, he's got some major drama going on in his home life as well. Dwyane's ex wife, Siohvaughn Funches-Wade, was arrested over the weekend for trying to abduct their two children.
Dwyane has had primary custody of their two sons, 10-year-old Zaire Blessing Dwyane Wade and 5-year-old Zion Malachi Airamis Wade, since their split in 2010. Siohvaughn -- his high school sweetheart -- has visitation rights. The divorce has yet to be finalized, largely due to the ongoing custody battle.
Now, an incident led to Siohvaughn being charged with "two counts of attempted child abduction, two counts of unlawful visitation interference and one count of resisting arrest." Dwyane is looking for the judge to suspend her visitation rights. Her mugshot, obtained by TMZ, is below.

Gabrielle Union has insisted that she did not steal boyfriend Dwyane Wade from his former wife Siohvaughn Funches. The actress, who has been involved with NBA star Wade since 2009, was sued by Funches that same year on the basis that the couple's relationship caused her two sons "emotional distress", though the case was later dismissed. While Union has remained quiet on allegations that she is a "homewrecker" who destroyed Wade's marriage to Funches, she has since spoken out on her romance in a new interview with Jet. "I think people mistook me taking the high road as an admission of guilt," Union recalled. "Dwyane and I made (more)...

Gabrielle Union is no homewrecker. That's according to an Illinois judge who has dismissed a lawsuit filed against the the Bring It On actress by Dwyane Wade's estranged wife, who accused Union and the NBA superstar of engaging in "sexual foreplay" in front of her kids that left the tots psychologically damaged. Siohvaughn Wade sued the 37-year-old actress back in May, contending her and Dwyane's PDAs inflicted severe emotional distress on the Wades' two sons, 8-year-old Zaire and 2-year-old Zion, so much so that the former ended up having to seek medical treatment from stress and axiety. The Wades, who were high school sweethearts, separated in 2007 and are now embroiled in a nasty...

Dwyane Wade's actress Gf Gabrielle Union just won big in her legal battle against Dwyane's ex-wife -- as of last week, she's officially in the clear over charges that she got too sexy in front of Dwyane's kids.
It's all over a lawsuit the basketball star's ex-wife Siohvaughn Wade (right) filed a few months ago -- claiming her and Dwyane's kids were left scarred when Gabrielle and the Miami Heat guard engaged in "sexual foreplay" in front of them.
Both Dwyane and Gabrielle denied the allegations -- calling them "erroneous claims" -- and last week, a judge in Illinois officially dismissed Siohvaughn's lawsuit, citing improper jurisdiction.
Gabrielle's lawyer -- who called the lawsuit a "shame" and a "waste of time" -- tells TMZ, "The allegations against Ms. Union are completely false and do not belong in the Illinois Court System."

It's not often that a father is awarded custody of his children, so maybe Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade is doing something right. Or perhaps his estranged wife Siohvaughn Wade is doing something the courts don't like. A judge granted Wade temporary custody based on findings that his visitation with sons, Zion and Zaire "has been frustrated on an ongoing basis as a result of continual interference'' from his ex-wife.

Gabrielle Union probably got a chuckle out of this. Siohvaughn Wade, estranged wife of NBA star Dwyane Wade and archenemy of his current squeeze, the Bring It On star, has been taken into custody by Chicago police after skipping out on a hearing yesterday in the Wades' contentious divorce case. According to a spokesman for the Cook County Sheriff's Department, Siovaughn, accompanied by her attorney, turned herself in around 11:15 a.m. today and brought along the required $10,000 bond. She is currently in a basement holding cell at the Daley Center jail complex and is expected to post bail and be released within the next couple of hours. An Apb was put out for her arrest after she...

Gabrielle Union's basketball star boyfriend Dwyane Wade is set to get temporary custody of his children - after his ex-wife infuriated a judge by failing to turn up for a court date.
Miami Heat player Wade, who is currently dating the Bring It On star, has been embroiled in a bitter divorce battle with Siohvaughn Wade, the mother of his two children, since 2007.
Union was dragged into the feud last week when Siohvaughn filed suit against Dwyane, accusing him of engaging in "sexual foreplay" with the actress in front of their two sons, aged eight and two.
The estranged couple was due to attend a scheduled divorce hearing in Illinois on Monday but Siohvaughn reportedly infuriated a judge after failing to appear.
Cook County Circuit Court Judge Marya Nega issued a bench warrant for Siohvaughn's arrest, setting bail at $10,000 (£6,700) - and threatened to hand the couple's children over to Dwyane.
Judge Nega said in court, "When things don't go according to Mrs. Wade's way, all of a sudden the phone's turned off. Maybe it's time for the kids to go live with Dad for a month or two."
Union and Wade have both denied the accusations in Siohvaughn's lawsuit.

Rachel Uchitel. Michelle "Bombshell" McGee. That chick who got it on with Angel. Rachel Uchitel again. And Gabrielle Union? The estranged wife of NBA star Dwyane Wade has filed a $50,000 lawsuit against the Bring It On actress, claiming Union "engaged in sexual foreplay" with the Miami Heat star in front of his kids, provoking "screams and cries" from Wade's son and otherwise inflicting untold amounts of emotional distress on the tykes with excessive PDAs. Yep, this just got (more) nasty. Dwyane and Siohvaughn Wade were sweethearts since they were 15 years old and separated back in 2007 (and it had nothing to do with Star Jones). They're currently in the midst of a highly...
