Why Gabrielle Union Says She Lets Daughter Kaavia Dress Herself Ahead of Janie and Jack Launch Union spoke to PEOPLE about helping her daughter through the design process for her debut line, which dropped earlier this month. "As the line developed and we started narrowing our focus, we really took our cues from what she sparks to," she said. "So by the time we got down to our favorites, we're showing her the materials and we're like, 'Touch these and try these samples on, and this, that and the other.' Anything she was like 'no,' as much as we might have loved it, it's not in the line. That's just it," Union added. "So we gave her the agency to have a real say-so. It's her name on it! This is her legacy. So she's got to love it."

"Her friendships, for Kaav, her best friends are everything," Union said. "So we had to figure out a way of incorporating that friendship into the line." The Bring It On actress married Wade, 40, in Miami in Aug. 2014, becoming stepmother to his children Zaire, 20, Zaya, 14, and 8-year-old Xavier. They welcomed Kaavia in Nov. 2018.
