Dwyane Wade Shares How He Told Gabrielle Union He Fathered A Kid With Another Woman

LOADING ERROR LOADING Dwyane Wade is opening up about one of the hardest conversations he’s ever had with his now-wife, actor Gabrielle Union. “I tried to pussyfoot around it,” the former Miami Heat shooting guard said during an appearance on Shannon Sharpe’s “Club Shay Shay” podcast in June. Emma McIntyre via Getty Images “You know that this is going to hurt someone that you’ve been building a relationship with and a life with, right?” he said. And I had to sit with my now wife and have this conversation.” Wade added he “couldn’t have gotten through that moment” of the news going public without Union “sticking with me.” Though the couple has since moved on from the situation, the 41-year-old said they’re still actively working on their relationship. It doesn’t go away because years come or because I say ‘sorry.’” Union previously shared her side of the story in an excerpt from her 2021 memoir called “You Got Anything Stronger?” “In 2013, before we were married, Dwyane had a baby with another woman,” she wrote of the child, named Xavier.
