Gabrielle Union is one of the favorite wives around the NBA, as she keeps making big moves and showing her happy life alongside Dwyane Wade whenever she has the chance. 

Union was already famous when she met Wade, but they have become a power couple over the years, inspiring other couples around the world, never hesitate to show their love and their less glamorous side to their fans.

They seem to be really happy, traveling around the world, having incredible moments in exotic places, and always having a smile on their faces. Things have worked well for them, but Union wasn’t always as secure as she is in her relationship. 


Gabrielle Union Made A Big Revelation About Her First Marriage 

During a recent interview, the Hollywood actress talked about her first marriage, which happened between 2001 and 2006, with former NFL player Chris Howard. She talked on the Armchair Expert podcast with Dax Shepard, saying some big things about Howard, who apparently was never able to compromise to the level their marriage required. 

Via Page Six: 

“I definitely was not getting Wife of the Year Awards,” Union revealed. “In our first marriage, neither one of us felt like the marriage should get in the way of our dating.”

Amid all the issues they had, Union and Howard started seeing other people and somehow made it a competition on who could get more affairs than the other. 

“I was paying all the bills, I was working my ass off and I felt like that’s what comes [with it],” the actress said. 

“I was like, Oh, that’s what you’re doing?” Union explained of her back-and-forth cheating strategy with Howard. “You’re gonna feel this one.” She eventually came to understand that she was internally missing something within herself and became “horny for validation and having certain kinds of guys like me and want me.” Union added, “[I wanted to] feel like I was worthy and good and valuable and deserving.”

They learned a big lesson during their marriage, but Union is happy things turned that way. Eventually, he found Dwyane Wade, and the Miami Heat legend tied the knot with her. Things have been great for them now, and whenever we see them, the Wades are having a blast. 

It wasn’t an easy path for either of them, but now they’re happy with their big family and ready to keep spreading love around the world.
