"I was devastated is to pick a word on a low shelf for convenience” – Dwyane Wade's wife Gabrielle Union reveals facing depression
Actress Gabrielle Union is known around the NBA as the loving and supporting wife of former Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade. However, in her memoir, "You Got Anything Stronger?" she shared how she struggled when her husband fathered a child with another woman because of her infertility.

"I am not the same woman I was when I wrote to you four years ago." Union writes. "If you thought you knew me then, you are not alone. I thought I knew me, too.
"To say I was devastated is to pick a word on a low shelf for convenience. The experience of Dwyane having a baby so easily while I was unable to left my soul not just broken into pieces, but shattered into fine dust scattering in the wind. The advice I would give myself now is to leave. The me of today would not have stayed with him, but would I be who I am now without that pain?"
Before their engagement, Wade and Union briefly split in 2013. During that time, the three-time champion had a child with another woman. The next year, the two wed, but despite that, Union said that she struggled as she tried to conceive.
