Dwyane Wade's wife Gabrielle Union gets honest about her struggle with surrogacy

Gabrielle Union has been very vocal about her struggles with motherhood. She and her husband, Dwyane Wade, welcomed their daughter Kaavia in 2018 through surrogacy. While Union welcomed her daughter into their world, the surrogacy affected the Hollywood actress.

On Wednesday, Union spoke to Marie Claire about the emotional cost of surrogacy. Union didn't hold back and said that she would never be at peace with having her daughter through surrogacy.

"I'll never have peace with it, ever," Union said. "It's such a personal journey that I may never know full peace with the coulda, woulda, shoulda."
"For me, it felt like failure. My body failed. It just felt like such a f****** public humiliation."

Union has had multiple miscarriages throughout her life, and that has had an enormous mental toll on her. The wife of the former NBA star said that the experience of surrogacy was like a "cuckold" to her.

"Surrogacy felt like a cuckold; watching somebody do something I can’t do," Union added. "To be there for somebody else succeeding where I failed — it is a mind f*** for people who have had my journey and who feel similarly."
