Gabrielle UnionandDwyane Wadehave found a few eyebrow-raising messages on their kids' social media accounts.
During Union’s appearance onThe Drew Barrymore ShowWednesday, the actress revealed how she and her husband have managed the social media use of sonZaire, 20, and daughtersZaya, 14, andKaavia James, 3.
Union told hostDrew Barrymorethat for Zaire, she and Wade were shocked to see theEuphoria-like content he had in his direct messages. HBO’sEuphoriafollows the lives of a group of high school students as they grapple with drug addiction, sex and violence, which has sparked debates online as to how accurate it is to real-life teenagers.
“When [Zaire] turned 16, all he wanted was his own Instagram. We set it up through my husband’s account so we could see his DMs,” Union said on the show.
“Scary, yes I know, but if you can get into those DMs, try,” she added.

Additionally, Union explained that she and Wade “don’t do one size fits all parenting” when it comes to social media, noting that all their kids have their own rules to follow online.
The actress is often getting candid about parenthood and her life at home with Wade and the kids. Back in December, Union opened up about one of the most challenging parts of being a busy actress and mother.
In a candid Instagram post, theBring It Onstar shared how career commitments meant she wouldn’t be there to cheer on Kaavia.
“Hardest part about being a working Mom is missing important events in your kid’s lives,” Union wrote, captioning a series of photos of herself embracing her mini me. “Today I missed @kaaviajames holiday program at school and felt so awful to disappoint her.”

Instead, Union decided to do the “next best thing” and shower her daughter with love and support.
“I did the next best thing and I became her hype woman before I left for work. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰,” Union wrote.
Wade also previouslyspoke to PEOPLE about his parenting styleand why he allows his children to be themselves.
“I think kids appreciate when you try to get to know them,” Wade said in November, while promoting his memoir,Dwyane. “And you know what I’ve always tried to do with my kids, from Zaire all the way down to Xavier, from Kaav and Zaya, I try to meet them where they’re at, and I don’t try to always bring them to where I want them to be, or my world.”
