‘Well, Dang!’: Gabrielle Union’s Booty-Baring Pic Has Fans Tantalized

Motherhood hasn’t meant that Gabrielle Union has slowed down on keeping herself in shape. And it definitely shows in a sexy new pic.

The actress and judge on “America’s Got Talent” uploaded a swimsuit photo to her Instagram page Tuesday.

“Sun’s out… #Agt’s out 🤷🏾‍♀️ See you tonight,” she wrote in the August 6 caption that doubled as a shout-out to the NBC variety talent show. She didn’t even have to mention what else was out for show in the pic.

The image, in which Union wore a body-bearing two-piece that greatly exposed her rear end, was enough to make fans virtually salivate.

“Well dang ! #BrownSkinGirl @brown_skin_girls 🔥🔥🔥”

“Wait one damn minute I can’t be having that thang sitting on my timeline like that 🙌🏾. Let me go work the hell out I’ll be right back.”

“Jesus, Mary and Joseph! 😧”

“Look at my fav actress ❤️ looking all buttered up 😩😂😍”

“The sun is mad jealous. 🙌🏾🔥”

“If I had a booty like this I would never wear pants. #comethroughbooty.”

Union, who became a mom to daughter Kaavia James via surrogate with her former NBA player hubby Dwyane Wade in November 2018, has long been big on staying in shape.

Speaking to Women’s Health in 2017, Union explained her family health history has impacted why she’s so big on exercise.

“I have a family history of diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, and I know that can lead to an early death,” Union said. “I want to be a vital and energetic part of my family for a long time, not to be big mama in a rocking chair in the TV room, or huffing and puffing just going up stairs. I work out not because I get off on it, but because I want to live!”

At the same time, however, Union acknowledges that she doesn’t want to deny herself of life’s indulgences. Speaking to Health magazine about her grandmother’s lifespan that same year she said, “You know, my grandma lived to be 110, and she drank alcohol, like, every day. I don’t drink every day. But if somebody’s like, ‘Shots!’ I’m like, ‘Yes!’ If someone says, ‘Bacon!’ I’m like, ‘Yes!’ She lived. I definitely live.”

As for how she got that booty of hers to pop, the “L.A.’s Finest” star also told the publication she was on a kick to build it herself.

“Squats. Right now I’m on build-a-booty,” she said. “So we did a specified workout to build up your butt, and you have to eat a specific way. You have to eat more protein to build muscle.”

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.
