Aja Metoyer Biography – Aja Metoyer Wiki
Aja Metoyer is an American reality television star who was cast in the sixth season of VH1’s Basketball Wives reality series in 2017. She is also known for being the baby mama of former American Basketball professional player Dwyane Wade. Wade spent the majority of his 16-year career playing for the Miami Heat of the National Basketball Association (NBA) and won three NBA championships.
Aja has also taken up selling health and wellness products over the years through the company Total Life Changes (TLC). She became known when 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. 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 her memoir, Union talked about her struggles with fertility which led her and Wade to use 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.
Together 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.
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. In 2021, talking to OK Magazine, Metoyer talked about her relationship with Wade and stop rumors that her child with him was just a way for her to get famous, as she revealed she 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?”
