After overcoming rough patches in their relationship, Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade and his wife, Gabrielle Union, are enjoying life.

After more than a decade together, Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade are one of the most powerful couples in Hollywood.

The couple originally met in February 2007, but their relationship was not made public until more than two years later. Union had just divorced her first husband, former NFL star Chris Howard, after they announced their divorce in 2005, while Wade was still married to his then-wife, Siohvaughn Funches, with whom he shares two daughters, Zaya. and Zaire.

It wasn’t love at first sight when the couple met at a Super Bowl party in 2007, where they were both chosen as co-hosts. According to my! News, Union told Essence that when the two initially met, no sparks were flying.

Union noted: “I stayed to one side of the room with my people.” “We like to be together and he doesn’t drink anything.” She was conducting a Bible study across the room.”

In 2014, she was even more open about their first meeting, telling Glamour: “When I met Dwyane, his resume was abysmal: athlete, divorced, and nine years younger than me. Nothing said, ‘Let’s have a long-term relationship.’”

However, Union decided to give Wade a chance after a “heartbreaking breakup”.

Union and Wade announced their relationship in 2010 and married in 2014. Union became a stepmother to Wade’s two children with Funches.

Due to their hectic schedules, the couple briefly broke up in early 2013.

The Bring It On star revealed her divorce to Glamor the following year, saying: “Distance and scheduling were the reasons for Dwyane and I briefly breaking up in 2013. I finished filming [Being Mary Jane] and immediately flew to Las Vegas to begin filming Think Like a Man Too. I couldn’t take time off and we missed out on much-needed quality time together…Moving forward, I realized that my work schedule had to work for our family.”

Wade had a son with Basketball Wives actress Aja Metoyerin during the couple’s split, it was later revealed.
