Dwyane Wade's wife Gabrielle Union rolls back the years with her 2001 look
NBA legend Dwyane Wade's wife, Gabrielle Union, turned back the clock by resharing a throwback photo of her 2001 look. Union took to Instagram to repost a picture from the grand opening of the American Eagle Outfitters showroom in Los Angeles in 2001. The nostalgic snapshot delighted fans, bringing back fond memories of her stylish appearance at the event.
Back in 2001, the 29-year-old Gabrielle Union was in the early stages of her acting career, having just landed her breakthrough role in the teen film Bring It On in 2000.
Recently, Union took to Instagram to highlight a few of her fans who rocked her cheerleading costume from the movie for Halloween 2024. The first slide in Union's carousel post featured a snap of her from the movie, and the following slides included snaps and videos of fans in the costume.
"If y’all keep bringing it, we might bring it back ☺️" Union captioned the post.
Since 2001, Union has gone on to star in many other hit movies and shows, and she has also become the author of four books.
Dwyane Wade reveals why he and his wife Gabrielle Union don't spend much on each other's Christmas gifts
Over their decade-long marriage, Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union have learned that the best sort of presents is "not about the price tag." As Wade recently revealed to E! News, they focus on creating memories rather than unwrapping gifts.
"Gab and I have learned it’s not about the price tag or going over the top with gifts," Dwyane Wade said. "It’s about making it meaningful, something that speaks to who we are as a couple."
"We try to focus on experiences. It’s about creating memories, not just unwrapping a box. At the end of the day, it’s the thought and love behind the gift that counts. That’s how we keep it special every year."
The Miami Heat legend further mentioned that he just likes to wind down during this time of the year, especially since his retirement from the NBA in 2019.
"There's just something special about having everyone together under one roof, especially after a long, crazy year. I spend so much time traveling during the year even after retiring, so when the holidays roll around, it’s like a timeout from everything."
Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union got married in Sept. 2014, four years after they made their relationship public. Both were married once before and reportedly took lessons from their first marriages to try and be "more collaborative and equitable" in their current marriage.
