Dwyane Wade and his wife, Gabrielle Union, are widely admired as a couple, yet they maintain a sense of privacy while balancing demanding professional and personal lives. Over the past year, Dwyane Wade has championed men's health, while Gabrielle Union has been equally forthright about her own health challenges.
Gabrielle Union Opens Up About Menopause
A few months ago, in an interview with PEOPLE, Gabrielle Union candidly discussed her experience with menopause. She stated, "It challenges you to look at life differently — and not as an ending, but as a beginning." The acclaimed actress added, "When you're dealing with, you know, hot flashes — whether it's the first time or the 100th — everyone is different. There are no two that are the same."
The "Being Mary Jane" alum continued, "It forces you to shift. And initially, I felt shamed. I felt like my value as a woman was diminishing. I felt very isolated." She further noted, "Over time, now, I feel empowered and I'm going to talk about it and I'm not going to lose a thing."
Gabrielle Union's Advocacy for Women's Health
Throughout the last decade, Gabrielle Union has been vocal about her health struggles and has actively advocated for women's health. Unlike many actresses who avoid discussions about fertility, Union has openly shared her experiences with multiple miscarriages due to health issues.
As a last resort, Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union opted for surrogacy to welcome their daughter. However, Union has been transparent about her desire to be "publicly pregnant" and her reluctance to choose surrogacy. Although she wanted to explore more options to carry a child full-term, it was Wade who intervened to protect her physical and mental well-being.
Today, the couple enjoys a happy and comfortable life with their daughter, maintaining their privacy.
