MIAMI – Rusk with pink mice for Gabrielle Union and her husband Dwyane Wade. The actress and the NBA star got their first child together. The girl was born via a surrogate mother after Gabrielle underwent all sorts of fertility treatments for years without success. Wade announced the upbeat news via Instagram and is completely in the clouds.
“We do not sleep anymore and are frenzied with joy, and with great joy, we inform you that our beautiful baby was born last night via a surrogate mother. Welcome to the world dear girl!”, Wade writes at the photo on which the trio can be seen.
The couple tried to get pregnant for a long time, but that did not work. The 46-year-old Gabrielle received nine miscarriages and talked openly about the struggle she had to deliver. In her book We’re Going To Need More Wine she wrote that her body was “a prisoner of trying to get pregnant” for 3 years. In the end, the new parents opted for a different path, which did bring them great happiness.
