The “Bring It On” star and NBA veteran first crossed paths at a Super Bowl party.
Initially, Union saw their age difference and his relationship drama as red flags.
What’s more, she found him to be a little too reserved at first.

None of that screamed, ‘Let’s have a lasting relationship,'" she toldGlamour.
After they met in 2007, Wade and Union went their separate ways for a while.
“Turned out he’d been on his own since he was 15,” she said in Glamour.

“He had wisdom that comes with facing an insane amount of adversity.
He’s sweet, funny, honest about his shortcomings.”
The pair began dating in 2009 and got married on August 30, 2014.
“I’d like to say we’ve worked on it,” Wade toldPeoplein 2021.
