AceShowbiz - Gabrielle Union, the "Bring It On" star, and her husband, former NBA player Dwyane Wade, recently celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary in a heartwarming and unforgettable manner. The festivities, documented on Instagram, showcased love, dedication, and the significant efforts both have put into their relationship.
The couple commemorated their decade-long journey with a special reception, bringing together loved ones who have supported them throughout the years. Union, 51, paid a touching tribute to Wade, 42, by singing Shania Twain's 1997 hit ballad "You're Still the One." The serenade, which included a montage of their memories, was a beautiful nod to their enduring love.
Union shared her sentiments in an Instagram post, writing, "Whenever anyone asks me what I want as a gift, I always say 'effort.' So this year I wanted to show him how much he means to me, with loving effort. Cuz, he's STILL the one." The video transitioned from her rehearsing in casual overalls and a bucket hat to performing on a balcony in a sparkly pink gown, with Wade in an off-white suit.
The celebration included a series of posts on Instagram. A joint carousel featured highlights such as Wade thanking Union for her love and support during a heartfelt speech, and their daughter, Kaavia James, acting as a flower girl. "10 years of having a very long, very fun, very loving, never-ending sleepover with my homie, lover, partner, and best friend," Union captioned. "We stand united and we thrive. 10 toes down, 10 years in, forever to go."
Reflecting on their journey, Wade shared in an interview that their strong relationship stemmed from efforts and mutual understanding. He emphasized that a lasting marriage involves "studying each other and showing up for support," while Union highlighted the importance of honesty and collaboration. Their candidness about the challenges they faced, including a temporary breakup before their engagement, showcases their resilience and commitment.
As they continue raising their blended family, including their young daughter Kaavia and Wade's children from previous relationships, the couple remains a testament to effort, love, and enduring partnership. "Bonded by love, free in spirit," Union encapsulated their bond perfectly in another post.
