It seemed like forever ago, but there was a time when Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union were struggling with their relationship.
Then things got worse when he had a side baby at some point during their relationship in 2013. She finally admits they weren’t on a break when it happened.
It’s been 8 years since the baby was born, and everyone has wondered how Gabby felt then and why she stayed with him after he had a baby while she was trying to.
Wonder no more. Gabby has a new book coming out, and in it, she talks about the emotions she was dealing with saying via The Walker Collective.
“In 2013, before we were married, Dwyane had a baby with another woman. It should go without saying that we were not in a good place at the time that child was conceived. But we were doing much better when he finally told me about the pregnancy. To say I was devastated is to pick a word on a low shelf for convenience. There are people—strangers I will never meet—who have been upset that I have not previously talked about that trauma. I have not had words, and even after untold amounts of therapy I am not sure I have them now.”
“The experience of Dwyane having a baby so easily—while I was unable to—left my soul not just broken into pieces, but shattered into fine dust scattering in the wind. We gathered what we could to slowly remake me into something new. There was no way to disguise where I’d been glued back together.”
The two were able to work things out, and it seems that they are happier than ever now.
