Gabrielle Union Postpones Children With Dwyane Wade

Gabrielle Union talks having children with her longtime beau Dwyane Wade in the upcoming issue of Ocean Drive magazine.

The gorgeous actress beautifully graces the cover for the February issue where she talks life with the Miami Heat player as it is now and how children of their own may play a role in their future. Dwyane has two sons from his previous marriage and won sole custody of his sons Zaire and Zion last March.

“D and I have a life together, too. I love my life in Miami, I can’t imagine functioning without both, I love the design district, I love Midtown, I love what’s happening downtown now. I can be at People’s Bar-B-Que or Sustain or Prime One Twelve, and I’m comfortable. It’s rare for me to feel that level of freedom,” Gabrielle stated.

Earlier this month in Miami, the Bad Boys II actress threw a 30th birthday bash for her beau and 300 hundred of his closest friends.

“Miami represents joy for me.”

Since Gabby is in a good place in her life and love, could this possibly mean moving towards the mommy territory?

“I mean, they’re great in theory, but I never imagined having one [myself]. Maybe over the next five years I could wrap my brain around becoming a mother and what that would mean in terms of sacrifice and dedication. I don’t do anything impulsively, so more toward the five years out than the one-year.”

Though she’s open to one day becoming a mother, she’s adamant about not being a mother without first being Wade’s wife.

“We’re just happy, so whatever comes down the road is down the road. And it’ll be in order. There would be a wedding before there would be a bambino, so all these reports of mystery babies that they like to keep giving me — there’ll be no baby until you’ve heard about a wedding,” Union said in Essence magazine.

Beyond talking love and life, the gorgeous actress can be seen in some show-stopping pieces. She dons a gold shimmering mini on the cover while the mag’s layout include a black, greenish sleeveless number and a springy, canary feather two-piece where she’s holding a basketball under arm—certainly an ode to her beau.

The February issue of Ocean Drive magazine with Gabrielle will be available on the 16th.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
