American actress Gabrielle Union is shining a spotlight on her love life like never before.
There’s no denying that Gabrielle and her husband of seven years, Dwyane Wade, have become the definition of couple goals.
Whether they’re twinning in fashionable outfits or making fans swoon with their adorable family moments, the pair’s relationship is straight out of a romance novel.
However, it hasn’t always been smooth sailing.
In her new book, Gabrielle Union opened up about the emotions she felt after Dwyane Wade welcomed a baby with another woman, which happened around the time they were trying to start a family.
Before Gabrielle, and Dwyane got married, the retired NBA player fathered a child with another woman while they were on a break.
In 2013, he welcomed a baby boy with Basketball Wives star Aja Metoyer. He would go on to propose to Gabrielle later that year.
While Gabrielle has discussed this period of their relationship, she shared a more candid account of what was really going on at the time in her new book, You Got Anything Stronger.
When Dwyane broke the news to Gabrielle that Aja was expecting a baby, she explained that they “were in a much better place” relationship-wise. However, it didn’t hurt any less to hear about it.
Gabrielle, explained that she and Dwayne were trying to have a baby of their own at the time. But her road to motherhood wasn’t an easy feat.
While Gabrielle was struggling to get pregnant, she said Dwyane told her, “As much as we want this baby, I want you…We’ve lost too much in our relationship for me to be okay with encouraging you to do one more thing to your body and your soul.”
