Mother of 5, Dwyane Wade’s Wife Gabrielle Admits Changing Herself Due to 3 Things

Recurrent pregnancy loss and yet being a mother of 5, Gabrielle Union’s motherhood journey has been an interesting one. It is worth mentioning that Union has only one child of her own with Dwyane Wade, 5-year-old Kaavia Wade. However, she also became the stepmother to Dwyane Wade’s other three biological children — Zaire Wade, Zaya Wade, and Xavier Wade. Apart from this, the Miami Heat legend also got custody of his nephew, Dahveon Morris, in 2011. It has been well documented by now that Union has been a mother figure to all of them. And she has now shared her thoughts on how this experience helped her develop.

The 51-year-old took to Instagram and shared some memorable moments of her and Dwyane Wade with their children on the occasion of Mother’s Day. In her post’s caption, she stated that there’s no greater hood than motherhood. She further expressed her joy at having the privilege of playing a part in the young lives that surround her.

Gabrielle claimed that her children have humbled and enlightened her in ways words cannot explain.“Sometimes I ask myself, “How did I get so lucky?” Nonetheless, thank you for teaching me patience, kindness, and love. You’ve forever changed me for the better. Happy Mother’s Day!” further read the caption to the post.

It is worth mentioning that Dwyane Wade and Union have always stood with all of their children as their pillars of support. It could be something as simple as them sending Morris off to prom in style in 2019. And then this could be to the extent of backing Zaya Wade against all odds when she came out as a trans-girl. Coming back to Mother’s Day, apart from Union’s heartfelt message, her children and Dwyane Wade also wished her on the special day through their social media handles.

Notably, the post by the 51-year-old was regarding being a step-parent bonus mom or any other consistently nurturing adult. Meanwhile, Dwyane Wade’s nephew, Dahveon Morris, shared a photo of the ‘Wade Family’ in his IG story. “Happy Mother’s Day @gabunion love you see u soon enjoy your day thank you for all the things u done for me!!!!” read the caption to his story.
