Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade are not only among a few power couples in the basketball community but also the most adorable ones. The Being Mary Jane actress has been dating former Miami Heat superstar since 2008. They got hitched in 2014.

The South Beach team was dissipated after the Championship loss of 2014 to the San Antonio Spurs, sending LeBron James back to Cleveland and Ray Allen to free agency.

During a regular-season game, the Miami Heat beat the Knicks and when Wade talked about his performance in his postgame interview, he got a little help from his wife Gabrielle Union.

“It was okay. I mean, a hamstring pull… wow. To come back with 27 points, we’re going to talk about the free throws later, but you did good for an old geezer,”  Gabrielle said before slapping her man on the butt.
