Dwyane Wade And Gabrielle Union's Marriage Is Just Plain Weird

Retired NBA player Dwyane Wade and actress Gabrielle Union have walked a long, strange trip to the altar, and they continue to do married life their own way. Let's take a closer look at this peculiar, persistent, and powerful pair. Before she met Wade, Union had more than a few unsuccessful relationships with other athletes. There was former NBA star Jason Kidd, who dumped her two weeks before the junior prom. And then there was former professional football player Chris Howard, whom she wed in 2001. After he reportedly cheated on her throughout their marriage, the couple decided to call it quits. After these strikeouts, Union wasn't keen on dating another athlete ever again, especially not someone who arrived with a ton of baggage. And at first, it didn't seem like Wade would be the one to change her mind. In 2014, she told Glamour, "When I met Dwyane, his 'résumé' looked like crap: athlete, going through a divorce, nine years younger than me. None of that screamed, 'Let's have a lasting relationship. Then, after I had a heart-crushing breakup with yet another immature jerk, I thought, it can't be any worse if I date a fetus. Let's just see what happens.'" Wade and Union began dating in 2009, while he was going through a contentious divorce with his first wife. Union had her doubts about whether or not she should continue the relationship, but after talking it over with her friends and sorting out her feelings, she eventually decided that it was worth it.
