Calling Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union a ‘power couple’ isn’t hyperbole—it’s a fact. One’s a 3× NBA champion, a Hall of Famer, and a name Miami fans probably chant in their sleep. The other? A celebrated actress, a sharp-witted author, a business mogul, and a voice people don’t ignore. Wade’s never been the type to bite his tongue when something deserves attention. Just look at his stance with Angel Reese. And now, it’s Union making the headlines, not from the hardwood spotlight, but from her own powerful lane. 

In a string of recent Instagram stories, Gabrielle Union dropped a few snapshots that instantly had fans buzzing. It was a sneak peek into her latest business move. Union, alongside her husband, NBA Hall of Famer Dwyane Wade, has teamed up with JCPenney for something special. Together, they’re launching an exclusive baby apparel line under their brand, PROUDLY. And thanks to JCPenney’s posts, it’s finally stepping into the spotlight.

In the first story, JCPenney shared the exclusive picture of the Babylist showroom. With a caption, “celebrating our newest launch with @theproudlyco at the @babylist showroom ❤️” Then came the follow-up story, a quick glimpse inside the showroom. One slide featured Gabrielle Union herself, beaming with pride, while others were filled with adorable baby accessories. The caption read, “embroidered towels and friendship bracelets with founder @gabunion”.

So, Gab is now on a new venture, one that holds the promise of exclusive milestones and meaningful impact. But if you’ve followed this power couple long enough, you know, it’s never just about one of them. Dwyane Wade’s cut from the same cloth. Time and again, he’s stepped outside the court, beyond the game, to do what’s right for the people and his community. And recently for Angel Reese.

Dwyane Wade’s wisdom pairs with Reese’s range

Dwyane Wade stepped into Unapologetically Angel as a master mentor ready to share court-hardened truths. Asked by Angel Reese how to elevate her game as she leapt from LSU straight into the WNBA, Wade zeroed in on trust. “You got to go out there to the game, you got to trust it. Don’t go to the gym and work on something you don’t trust,” Wade told Reese.

That nugget carries added weight given Reese’s history. At LSU, she shot just 19.4% from three-point range over four seasons, per NCAA stats. In her 2024 rookie year, she managed an 18.8% clip beyond the arc. But when this season tipped off, the energy felt different. The 6-foot-3 forward casually buried 50% of her threes in the opener. Though based on limited attempts, the improvement signals a broader shift in Reese’s offensive confidence. Reese only fired up 16 threes all last season. Now? She’s letting ’em fly twice a night. Despite online jabs, Reese zeroes in on guidance from mentors, particularly Wade’s advice.

Wade’s guidance goes beyond mechanics. In mentoring Bam Adebayo and others, he emphasizes the mental game—resilience, shot selection, and the confidence to let fly under pressure. For Reese, trusting her shot is about believing in the work she’s put in. And if history (and Wade’s resume) is any indicator, that trust will pay dividends.
