Tia Mowry and Gabrielle Union’s Daughters Had The Most Adorable Play Date
By Charli Penn · Updated March 2, 2021

Even the busiest Hollywood moms know when it’s time to pause for what’s most important—their kids. Actresses Gabrielle Union and Tia Mowry-Hardrict are known for being doting moms to their little ones, and they recently came together for a scheduled play date for their daughters that was adorable beyond words.

Union’s daughter Kaavia James Union Wade aka “Shady Baby”, 2, and Mowry-Hardrict’s daughter Cairo Tiahna Hardrict, who’s also 2, met up for some playtime with their famous moms cheering them on. Mowry-Hardrict, 42, posted a sweet video of the toddlers playing together outside and watching it is sure to bring a smile to your face.

Cairo and Kaavia kick things off by sharing a tender hug (aww!) then they they’re off—dancing briefly then running off into the yard. And, did we mention baby Cairo is wearing a custom denim jacket with her name on it? Talk about cute overload!

Mowry-Hardrict chose Saweetie’s hit “Best Friend” (featuring Doja Cat) for the fun video’s soundtrack, which shows the little ladies instantly hitting it off. We love to see it!
