Clearly, like any relationship theirs has not been without hard work. The public is well aware of the fact that Wade’s relationship with Union has not always been all rainbows but what stays remarkable is that they have weathered all the storms together.

Wade and Gabrielle Union’s rocky beginning

The two tied the knot in 2014. However, the months before their marriage have been crucial for the 3-time champion. 

While celebrities certainly don’t owe any personal details to the public, Wade chose otherwise. As someone who is always in front of the public eye, he felt it necessary to allude to the public about his son, whom he fathered with another woman while committed to Gabrielle.

Amidst all the criticism by the public and issues with Union, it must have been one of the toughest moments in the athlete’s life. Explaining his statement, he elaborated, “I had a time, a part in our break, in our pain and our hurt, a blessing came out of it in my life, having a son that was born healthy. So I’m moving on. I’m in the public eye, so obviously that’s a part of it. It comes with the territory.”

Honesty in the relationship and transparency with the public. This star couple seems to be setting a shining example.
