Getting into the NBA is no easy task, but staying relevant and thriving in the league is even more challenging. Newer players join the league every year, and current players keep improving.

Dwyane Wade found a way to dominate the league. In his 16-year NBA career, the 6’3 guard won 3x NBA Championships and played alongside some of the game’s greatest players. Apart from his on-court greatness, D.Wade also was lucky in his love life.

Gabrielle Union-Wade shares how current day her would’ve left Dwyane Wade

Having been together since 2008, Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union went public with their relationship in 2010. They were thinking of tying the knot when news emerged of Dwyane Wade having a child with his friend Aja Metoyer in 2013. This put a big strain on Wade and Gab’s relationship.

In 2021, Gab talked about the same.

“Who I am, the healing that I’ve fought for, the peace that I have fought for, I wouldn’t. I just wouldn’t,” Union said. “That’s not what happened, but there is wisdom from perspective and time and therapy and personal evolution and accountability that changes things.”

“One of the things I learned about giving advice is don’t take advice from anyone doing something about anything that they haven’t succeeded at. So if you’re gonna ask me, a divorced woman who’s had a gang of relationship challenges about what you should do in a relationship, you’ve already failed. I could give you my coulda, woulda, shoulda, but at the end of the day, I didn’t. So be careful when and who you ask for advice about what to do in the moment.”
