Last month, Wade spoke about what“unconditional love” means to him as a parentas he revealed that he is a “great advisor” to his kids.
“We have no judgment with each other and we’ve been through a lot of things that a lot of people on the outside would deem as something that we don’t look at it as that way,” the father of five told PEOPLE. “And so that’s how I treat my kids.”

“I don’t want to just be one of those people who’s just been given to Zaya and she doesn’t feel open and confident in me,” he continued. “I want to show her what unconditional love looks like so she can use me as this sounding board through life.”
“I feel like it’s shown in Zaya,” added Wade. “It’s shown in Zaya through the world because of her being a part of the trans community.”

Wade also discussed how being an executive producer on theNetflix documentary shortThe Dads, which follows five dads with trans children, helped him reexamine his role as a father to Zaya after sharing her identity.
“It was one of them things when a kid found out there’s no Santa Claus,” Wade told PEOPLE of his initial shock. “You’re like, ‘Wait, what do you mean? I’ve been told this for so long.’ But my job is also to move things forward. And if that means you’re taking criticism or getting death threats … that’s a part of the journey.”
