Video: Dwyane Wade Opens Up On How He Told Gabrielle Union About Having A Baby With Aja Metoyer

Former basketball superstar Dwyane Wade has finally opened up about the difficult conversation he had with his wife, Gabrielle Union, regarding his infidelity and the subsequent baby he fathered with Aja Metoyer.

Wade, known for his honesty and transparency, spoke candidly about the emotional journey he went through before finally revealing the truth to Gabrielle. The couple, who had already faced their fair share of challenges throughout their relationship, were confronted with a major baby mama drama and hurdle.

“Way harder to have a conversation with my now-wife,” Dwyane said when Club Shay Shay’s host Shannon Sharpe posed the question in a video shared Sept. 20. “You’re trying to think of everything possible. It’s all scary. This whole situation is scary enough, you’re a public figure.”

The athlete and Gabrielle, who first started dating in 2008, parted ways early in 2013 but ultimately reconciled and were engaged by December, tying the knot the following year.

“But you know that you’ve hurt someone that you’ve been building a relationship with and a life with,” he continued. “And no matter what people say outside or what people think, it’s like, ultimately, like you got to sit with you. You got to sit with this person, this woman you’re gonna be with, right?”

But despite the difficult circumstances of this moment in their lives, the 41-year-old credits Gabrielle—with whom he shares daughter Kaavia, 4, as well as kids Zaire, 21, and Zaya, 16, with ex-wife Siovaughn Funches—with guiding the pair through it and out the other side. Especially given that his NBA team, the Miami Heat, was simultaneously competing in that year’s playoffs and finals, which they ultimately won.

“I couldn’t have gotten through that moment without her sticking with me,” he explained. “That was a rough time for me. You’re keeping something from people you love, and it’s heavy. And I tried to pussyfoot around it. I tried to break up with her, ‘Hey, you know things has been bad lately. We’ve been having some distance in our relationship anyway.’ Like I tried all that. She kept showing up.”

And in the years since, the longtime couple have kept showing up for each other by putting in the work to make their relationship successful.

“It hasn’t been perfect, it will never be perfect,” Dwyane noted. “But that was nine years ago. We go to therapy, we’ve been to therapy. We’ve had shouts about it. We’ve had regular conversations about it. It’s been something that is going to continue to be something that I have to work at and work on. It doesn’t go away because years come or because I say sorry.”

But despite the ups and downs, at the end of the day, Dwyane is ready to own his story—and is grateful for it all.

“Right now, this is all mine,” he reflected. “And as good as it looked, or as bad as it seems, it’s mine. I’m thankful to even have the good in my life. And I’m also thankful to have the things that’s a little uncomfortable to talk about and deal with and experience, because that makes you live a full life.”

Despite his initial fears, Wade decided that he owed it to Gabrielle to be honest about his mistakes. Choosing a somber yet supportive moment, he found the courage to tell her about the new addition to their family. That’s what real men do!
