However, this was because he was too scared to talk to her about the child. Wade has also mentioned how talking about this to Union was the toughest thing he ever had to do. To his surprise, Union kept showing up and the two ended up walking past this situation.
Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union met for the first time at a Super Bowl party
The two love birds met for the first time at a Super Bowl party in 2007. However, it was nothing near to love at first sight. Instead, they barely spoke that night and were situated at the opposite ends of the room. Gabrielle Union revealed that Wade did not drink at all and was holding his bible study. Whereas, she was hanging out with her friends.
Furthermore, in 2014, the actress spoke to Glamour and candidly talked about her initial opinion of Wade. She said, “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”. It is interesting how fate played such a role that the two ended up as a couple and eventually married.
