While actress Gabrielle Union and retired NBA player Dwayne Wade were on a break, Wade fathered a child with another woman – and almost didn’t tell Union.
In an interview on the podcast Club Shay Shay with Shannon Sharpe on Wednesday, Wade admitted that he had initially tried to break up with his now-wife before she found out. He explained, “I tried to pussyfoot around it.”
Despite Union and Wade’s then five-year-old relationship, Wade has made it very clear that he never cheated – he and Union were on an established break.
In his conversation with the actress, he said he told Union, “Hey, things have been bad lately… We’ve been having a little distance in our relationship anyway.”
However, Union continued to “show up” for Wade, and he finally told her about his relationship with Basketball Wives star Aja Metoyer in 2013.

On Aug. 12, Dwyane Wade's incredible basketball career was immortalized as he was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Ma, with his family by his side. The retired NBA player had plenty of support thanks to his wife, Gabrielle Union; his kids Zaya Wade, Zaire Wade, Kaavia James, and Dahveon Morris; and his nephew, for whom he is a legal guardian. (Only his son Xavier Wade was missing from the celebration.) Additionally, Dwyane's parents, Jolinda Wade and Dwyane Wade, Sr., were also there for their son's big day.
Ahead of the ceremony, Dwyane walked the red carpet with his family by his side. In one group photo, he sported a bright red suit, while Union looked stunning in an elegant strapless black gown. His daughter Zaya matched Union in a short black dress with sheer sleeves, while the couple's youngest child, Kaavia James, wore a white dress,...

Dwyane Wade has opened up about his role in daughter Zaya’s coming out and transition, including how her visible “fear” forced him to reassess the kind of parent he was being.
While appearing at the annual invitation-only CAA Amplify Summit on Tuesday in Ojai, Calif., the former NBA player and three-time championship winner opened up about his journey not only in understanding his daughter’s identity but affirming it. Speaking alongside From One Big Life to Another‘s Chris Paul in a conversation led by Lisa Metelus, co-head of Basketball at CAA, Wade recalled how he and actress Gabrielle Union first learned beyond their own feelings that Zaya was part of the LGBTQ+ community back in 2016 while the family was living in his hometown of Chicago.

Yes, the 34th Annual GLAAD Media Awards was, as always, a spirited celebration of the best in LGBTQ+ inclusion and representation in film, television music and more. But this year it also served as a potent rallying cry, in the face of a spike in discrimination evidenced in several state legislatures’ recent anti-trans laws, curriculum policies and drag show bans.
Harvey Guillen, who later in the evening accepted the Outstanding Comedy Series award for his series “What We Do in the Shadows,” told Variety on the red carpet that, even as great strides have been made for over the years, the ceremony’s relevance was as vital as ever.
“It’s so funny that history tends to repeat itself when you take out textbooks to teach that history and when you choose marginalized groups to attack,” said Guillen. “And I just look around this room and I am reminded of...

Gabrielle Union-Wade and Dwyane Wade shared an emotional message to their daughter, Zaya, and called for justice for Black trans people while accepting the President’s Award at the 2023 NAACP Image Awards on Saturday.
“We stand up here today as two people who have worked tirelessly to have resources and access. As two people willing to use our microphones for what we believe and what other families are going through,” the former NBA player said. “I’m intentional when I use my platform. I recognize what I have been given, and it is my job to uplift the voices of others and share my access and resources.”
Wade then directed his words to his daughter, who came out as transgender in 2020, to share a touching message. “Zaya, as your father, all I’ve wanted to do was get it right,” he added. “I’ve sat back and watched how gracefully...

Gabrielle Union first came to prominence for her performances in movies like Love & Basketball and Bring It On. Since then, her celeb status was greatly helped by her marriage to now-retired NBA superstar Dwyane Wade. However, this wasn’t the first time Union tied the knot with a professional athlete.
The Nebraska native was previously married to former NFL player Chris Howard from 2001 to 2006. In hindsight, she realizes their relationship should’ve ended well before Howard put a ring on it.

“The love had to be there because what was coming out of my mouth was so hateful,” declares Gabrielle Union about the experience of playing a homophobic mother in “The Inspection.” The film is the feature debut of writer and director Elegance Bratton, who based the film on his own experience as a Black, queer teenager who joins the Marine Corps after being rejected by his mother due to his sexuality.
Tony and Emmy nominee Jeremy Pope stars as Ellis French, a stand-in for Bratton, while Union plays Ellis’s bigoted and cruel mother Inez. Union’s performance has earned her nominations for Best Supporting Performance at both the Gotham Awards and the Independent Spirit Awards.

Gabrielle Union discusses her family regularly dealing with criticism while chatting to Et Canada’s Morgan Hoffman.
Union and her co-star Jake Gyllenhaal have been promoting their latest animated adventure flick “Strange World”, which sees the Clade family’s differences “threaten to topple their latest and more crucial mission” as explorers.
As Hoffman questions what their “strange world” would be — that would be considered strange to others but not to themselves — Union responds, “My house, judging from the comments section… clearly my house is the strangest world there is. What, you listen to your kids? What, you treat everyone with respect and kindness? What?”
Gyllenhaal agrees, “I’m going to have to go with Gabrielle’s house. Absolutely.”

Welcome to this week’s “Just for Variety.”
Gabrielle Union tells me exclusively that she and Eva Longoria are developing an LGBTQ wedding comedy feature for Amazon Studios. They’ll not only produce the film but likely star as dueling soon-to-be mothers-in-law whose sons are getting married.
“Eva and I try to take over their wedding [planning] and make it the wedding of our dreams versus theirs,” Union said on Nov. 13 at a tastemaker screening of “The Inspection.” The untitled project is being written by Ricardo Gamboa and produced by Macro Film Studios, Union’s I’ll Have Another Productions and Longoria’s UnbeliEVAble Entertainment.
Union also gave me an update on “Got to Be,” a Billy Porter-directed road trip movie she’s producing about three Rhode Island high schoolers who travel to New York City for their first Pride parade. It was inspired by Union and husband Dwyane Wade...

Dwyane Wade is defending himself against recent claims made by his ex-wife. On Nov. 1, Siohvaughn Funches-Wade submitted an objection to the basketball star's prior petition to allow their 15-year-old daughter, Zaya, who is transgender, to legally change her name and gender. In the court documents obtained by Popsugar, Funches-Wade claimed she was concerned Wade sought to profit off Zaya's gender-identity journey and asked that Zaya wait until she turns 18.
"Since this must be the new way of parenting, I guess I have to address these allegations here, which is a damn shame," Wade wrote on Instagram on Nov. 3. "These are serious and harmful allegations that have hurt our children."
Funches-Wade's objection read, "Interested Party has strong concerns that Petitioner may be pressuring or incentivizing the minor child with lucrative financial opportunities in order to proceed with this instant Petition."
Wade said he was disappointed but not surprised by the objection,...

The now-estranged couple share two children together, including 15-year-old Zaya Wade. On Tuesday, Funches-Wade filed a petition asking a judge to block Zaya’s official name change, citing potential pressure from outside forces and an alleged desire from her ex-husband to make money off of her.

Dwyane Wade has slammed his ex-wife Siohvaughn Funches-Wade’s claims made in her recent legal filing regarding their 15-year-old daughter Zaya Wade’s name and gender.
In docs obtained by E! News, Siohvaughn asked a California court to deny Dwyane’s request to legally change Zaya’s name, suggesting the teen wait to decide “at the age of majority” if she wants to move forward with it.
The legal papers accused Dwyane of “pressuring” Zaya, who came out as transgender in 2020 at age 12, into moving forward with the name and gender change “to capitalize on the financial opportunities that he has received from companies.”

Nick Lachey is reacting to Lauren Speed-Hamilton’s “Love Is Blind” commentary. While speaking with Et’s Kevin Frazier and Nischelle Turner at the Sheraton Waikiki in Hawaii on Wednesday, the 48-year-old dating show host discusses Speed-Hamilton’s allegation that the Netflix series aired limited scenes with Black women during its third season.
“‘Lib’ be cutting all the black women. How come they are always in the trailer but not the show,” Speed-Hamilton tweeted last month. “I know it’s slim pickings but about 85 of them couples be forced (just moving forward for entertainment purposes) anyway. Y’all could at least force some more sisters to move forward throughout the show.”
Lachey, who hosts the series with his wife, Vanessa Lachey, calls Speed-Hamilton’s tweet “a fair observation” and says that he does “understand where she’s coming from with it,” but notes that he’s “not sure what exactly...

On the red carpet outside the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles gala Saturday night, the organization’s president and CEO Paul Viviano explained how, if this were a typical event, the musical headliner would deliver a “low-ley” performance of two or three songs. But this year’s installment, held at Santa Monica’s Barker Hangar, was anything but routine.
That was all thanks to Justin Timberlake as the 41-year-old crooner not only agreed to show up, but also to put on a show — a 40-minute mini-concert of 10 songsm including his tracks “Suit & Tie,” “Señorita” and “Can’t Fight the Feeling,” mixed in with classic hits and soul classics from artists like Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, Bill Withers and Sam Cooke.
“We’re privileged to have him,” Viviano gushed of Timberlake’s showing at the event, Chla’s first in-person fundraiser in three years.

It's no secret that social media can take a toll on a person's mental health, and that's one of the reasons why Dwyane Wade made the decision to turn off comments on his 15-year-old daughter Zaya Wade's social media accounts. For Wade and his wife, Gabrielle Union, who is Zaya's stepmother, nothing is more important than giving their child a safe space to express herself. Right now, that means limiting who can comment on her posts.
Wade revealed in a recent interview with "Today" that he and Union talked through their decision with Zaya after reflecting on the experiences of Wade's son Zaire. "Well, we have a 20-year-old, Zaire, who went through it a few years before Zaya, of jumping on social media and all of the negativity that comes with social media and the comments," he explained. "And so we went through it once, and we saw how it affected him.

90 Day Fiance alum Yara Zaya captured a precious and funny family moment between her husband, Jovi Dufren, and their two-year-old daughter Mylah.
Yara filmed ahead of her as Mylah ran toward Jovi, who was pushing her stroller.
In the video, Jovi and Yara exclaimed separately to Mylah, “What did you say?”
Mylah could then be heard yelling, “Jovi!” as she ran.
Yara and Jovi, both laughing, repeated back questioningly, “Jovi?!”
Jovi then said, “My name is daddy to you.”
Yara added, “He’s your daddy, not Jovi.” Mylah then repeated, “Jovi.”
Yara followed up by pointing at Jovi and asking, “Who is this.”
Mylah said something unintelligible before she said, “Daddy.”

Actress Gabrielle Union faced some challenges in making her upcoming movie “The Inspection”. Speaking at the People and Entertainment Weekly photo and video studio at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival about the film, Union explained her difficult decision to play a character she didn’t relate to.
“As an actress, I normally look for characters that have some chunk of me in them. I did not see that in Inez,” she says of her character, Inez French.
The character, a homophobic prison guard, can’t come to terms with the fact that her son Ellis French (Jeremy Pope) is gay because of her strong religious background. She ultimately disowns him, setting him on a path to join the Marines.
Asked if “The Inspection” was difficult for her to participate in as a parent to a transgender daughter, Union said she was first drawn to the overall “beautiful story.”

Jovi often does Q&a with his following of 355k on Instagram. He fields and responds to all kinds of questions regarding his daughter Mylah, relationship with Yara, regrets, and travel, to name a few.
However, Jovi does not just choose to only show the positive comments and questions he gets. He also shares the negative ones and often tries to make light in his replies.

A fabulous outfit? Two can play that game. Zaya Wade and Gabrielle Union showed off a matching look in an Aug. 8 Instagram Reel that was not to be missed. In the clip, Gabrielle sports a matching floral set paired with silver jewelry. The Breaking In actress then puts her head against a wall to listen in as a banging noise plays in the background. That's where the matching moment kicks in. The camera cuts to a shot of Zaya banging her fist against the wall while wearing the same ensemble. Zaya captioned the moment, "coming for your outfit @gabunion." Now, it's not rare to see Zaya or Gabrielle serving a look. Just one glance at either of their Instagram pages will make that...

In a clip shared to Kaavia's Instagram page, Union urges her daughter forward, watching her pedal a pastel-pink bicycle across the patio. Kaavia starts slowly at first, and then, with her mother's encouragement, surges into hyper speed as text reading "mommy I got this" appears across the screen.
"Picture me rollin. It's on now!!" the caption on the post reads. "Whatchall want from the store, I'm about to make a run real quick." As she learns to put the pedal to the metal, Kaavia wears a pink shirt to match her bike, complete with matching training wheels and streamers on the handlebars.
Together, Union and...

From stars like Zendaya, Andrew Garfield and Taika Waititi to Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, 2022’s Time 100 honorees came together at a NYC gala on Wednesday to celebrate their place on the list of the most influential people in the world and stir the attendees to action.
“The temptation of a gathering like this, especially after so much time apart, is to reconnect with the people we know and have missed,” Time editor-in-chief and CEO Edward Felsenthal said during his remarks at the Jazz at Lincoln Center. “The opportunity of a gathering like this is to connect with people we’ve never known, never met in fields we can hardly fathom and figure out what we can do together. I urge you to seize that opportunity.”

What does it mean to be a Time 100 honoree?
For Jon Batiste, who recently dominated the Grammy Awards with five wins and a colorful performance of “Freedom,” he emphasized the importance of leaning into one’s power.
“Lean into yourself because that’s your superpower,” Batiste told Variety on Wednesday night at the Time 100 Gala at Lincoln Center in New York City. “Genius is the one who is most like themselves. The leader is the one who is coming from a place of knowing in himself and can inspire other people.”
The ceremony, hosted by “Shang-Chi” superstar Simu Liu, marked Time’s first in-person event since 2019. The evening will also be broadcast in a primetime special on ABC on June 12.
One of the highlights of the night was Liu living up to his Twitter proposition to share a milk bubble tea with billionaire Bill Gates.
“Now, Mr. Gates, have you ever had bubble tea before?...

Dwyane Wade is opening up about fearing for his daughter's safety "every moment she leaves the house," the former NBA star revealed in a new interview at the Time100 Summit on June 7. "As blessed as it is for my daughter to have parents who can support her, I'm still afraid every moment she leaves the house. And not just because of gun violence, but because of the way people perceive her in this world," Wade said.
Wade's 15-year-old daughter, Zaya, whom he parents with wife Gabrielle Union, came out as transgender in 2020. The couple have steadfastly supported their daughter throughout her journey. "Unconditional love, simply put, is love without strings attached. It's love you offer freely," Wade wrote in an Instagram post that same year, and he's continued to show unconditional love and support for his daughter over the years.
