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.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

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.
