Gabrielle Union & Dwyane Wade

They have one of Hollywood’s most intriguing — and longest-lasting — romances. Despite numerous ups and downs, Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union have demonstrated what it takes to succeed in a profession that frequently wrecks couples before they even get started.

It all began back in 2007. Both Union and Wade were recruited to throw a Super Bowl party. When they first met that night, neither seemed to be thinking romantically. The basketball superstar was married to Siohvaughn Funches at the time, and their personalities didn’t get a chance to meld during that initial gathering at the Super Bowl party. She attended Wade’s charity event in Miami in 2010, which sparked romance speculations. In 2012, they clarified their relationship status. Wade asked Union to marry him, and they got hitched in a beautiful ceremony in Miami in August 2014. Their love story and career investments explain why we adore them together.
