Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union
Basketball legend Dwayne Wade and actress Gabrielle Union are the power couple of the NBA. Their love story seems as if they were meant for each other, and their love is an inspiration for fans. The former Miami Heat star and the Being Mary Jane actress first met in 2007 at a sponsored Super Bowl event they were both invited to host. At the time, Union was mending the pieces from a recent divorce, while Wade was still married. Later that year, Wade filed for a divorce from his wife, but it wasn’t the last he would hear from her.
Although he separated from his wife in 2007, it was only in 2009 that Union and Wade made their new relationship public, and in 2010 they took another leap in their relationship, as they made their red carpet debut as a couple. On the face of it, it seems as if this relationship was doomed. The actress shared how she felt going into this relationship: “When I met Dwyane, his résumé looked like crap: athlete, going through a divorce, nine years younger than me.” Nonetheless, she decided to give it a chance, and 13 years later they are married with kids, going stronger than ever.
