Every day, all over social media, Gabrielle Union is with her husband, former NBA star, Dwyane Wade. Just like Wade’s stints away from his team, the Miami Heat, it’s easy to forget he was ever married before. As it should be, Gabrielle Union treats his kids like her own.

Gabrielle Union often posts Dwyane Wade’s children, referring to them as her sons and daughter. Of course, she and Wade also share a daughter, together. Yesterday, social media began fuming, over how they believe all of this came to be.
