Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade have officially hit a major milestone in their relationship: their 10th wedding anniversary. The couple, who have been together for over 15 years, tied the knot in 2014 in a beautiful ceremony in Miami.
To commemorate their special day, Union expressed her heartfelt gratitude to her husband in a carousel post that included videos of the two celebrating their big day with family and friends.
“10 years of having a very long, very fun, very loving, never-ending sleepover with my homie, lover, partner, and best friend,” she wrote. “Through sickness and health, crisis and celebrations, through bad golf days and flubbed lines and new adventures… We stand united, and we thrive. Ten toes down, 10 years in, forever to go.”
Wade revealed the couple’s recent struggles to reach a decade together in one of the carousel videos.
“Year nine was hard for us,” he admitted. “We were kind of reminiscing about how we got to even here.”
Back in 2013, Dwyane Wade had been involved in a cheating scandal after fathering a child with a woman named Aja Métoyer while he was in a relationship with Gabrielle Union. Despite Wade’s attempts to end their long-term relationship, it survived the scandal.
On their 10th wedding anniversary, Wade continued expressing his gratitude for his wife’s perseverance in maintaining their relationship against all odds.
“Thank you for being there to show me all of the things I forget along the way,” he said. “Thank you for continuing to show me that you ain’t going nowhere.”
“That you’re willing to love me through shortcomings I’ve had and the moments of growth that I have,” he added. “So, thank you for teaching me. Thank you for believing in me.”
Later in the post, Union reacted to Wade’s touching message.
“What you just said means everything,” she said before thanking everyone who helps keep their marriage strong. “As you guys all know, we’ve been on this path for a long, long time. And the path has been long and beautiful and has taken twists and turns, and at every turn, you guys have been there. You’ve always put us back on the path.”
Gabrielle and Dwyane’s journey has not been without challenges, but they have handled life’s ups and downs with grace and unity, from co-parenting their blended family to supporting each other’s careers.
