The Athlete Is Dumping The Actress

[MTO News] MTO News just got wind of an explosive rumor. Word on the curb is that a popular NBA player is getting his ducks in a row, and preparing to divorce his actress wife.

The divorce announcement is expected sometime before the current NBA season is over.

The couple is seen, among many in the NBA as “couples goals.” But behind closed doors, they’re definitely NOT as happy as you’d imagine.

A person close to the couple told MTO News, “He’s basically checked out of the marriage. Don’t believe the pictures [you see] – he’s gone.”

So what is it that’s causing the couple to split? One insider explains, “I think that [guy] is going through some type of mid-life crisis. He wants some young thot. But he’ll never find a woman like [his wife] ever.”

When the news breaks, a lot of people are going to be shocked. We never thought this union would ever end.

    Everyone is guessing Gabrielle and Dwayne but they just announced a baby girl via surrogate.
    Can anyone explain why she’s in a hospital gown in the photos for People magazine? Wouldn’t the surrogate have been the person in the hospital?

  2. Laughing1 says

    How could this be Dwayne Wade and Gabrielle Union if they just had a baby via surrogate??? Huh???????

  14. SophiaB says

    Gabrielle Union & her always reluctant cheater hubby? She is way too good for him.no clue why he is leaving her. maybe baby?

  18. PrettiKitti19 says

    Dwayne Wade and Gabrielle Union

    She is older than him. Plus he always seems to tire easily and first .. look how fast he dumped his first wife (the mother of his sons) as soon as he met Gabrielle.
    How you get ’em is how you lose ’em!

    Gabriel union

    Some men are never satisfied with who they have and are always looking for someone “better.”

  28. LexingtonBlue says

    Union??? As in Gabby and D. Wade?? Please say it ain’t so. He will be hard pressed to find another like her.

  34. CoCoJoe says

    From the “union” clue, Gabriel Union? I think the husband is NBA and she seems pretty smart – a catch..

    Dwayne Wade & Gabrielle Union

    When you marry the mistress you create a job opening…

    Great clue with “this union”
    Optional: Didn’t he have a baby with another woman? Maybe that was too hard to work past.

  46. PrincessPJ says

    Scottie Pippen former Chicago Bull and Larsa; she’s on one of the housewives things

    she’s gorgeous, he’s not; she wanted more, he thinks he’s still got it

    they grew apart

  51. Honey16 says

    Dwayne Wade
    Gabriel Union

    He has to deal with the fact that he getting older & he’s not the young guy anymore. And usually when that happens, they seek the young thots to give them their youth back.

  54. jamiej85 says

    Gabriel Union and Dwayne Wade…..hmmmm I’m pretty sure he cheated in his first wife with her. You know the saying about Karma…..just sayin’.

  56. Glamma says

    Dwayne Wade and Gabrielle Union.

    They are always pictured as the perfect couple but he’s creeping up on 40 in a few years. Clue union in last line. Plus the Scotty Pippen/Larsa Pippen divorce news broke already today and Scotty is retired. Wade is still an active player.

    What went wrong? He is having a mid life crises and thinks the grass is greener.

    Hope this isn’t true, they’re so cute! Clues: union, couples goals

    Silhouette made me think of J Lo but she’s not married and then that last sentence’s union clue told me all I need

  63. diz925 says

    Dwayne wade & Gabrielle Union
    Say it ain’t so!!!! She seems like a good wife… very understanding and forgiving when he got another woman pregnant.
    And she loves being a step mom .. i feel bad for her!

  65. ILUVCA4evr says

    Athlete: Scotty Pippen

    Actress: Larsa Pippen (reality ‘star’)

    [Optional] What do you think went wrong? He’s busy trying to keep up with the Kardashians. What a joke.

  68. Appleton says

    Dwayne Wade and Gabrielle Union

    Lol the goals and union clues.

    Who knows? The insider is right though, Gabrielle is gorgeous he will never find another woman like her again.

  74. PGreen says

    Dwayne and Gabriel Union. A shame. I really like her. And, no, he’s not likely to find anyone who compares.

  76. aaaPanda says

    The clues point at Dwayne Wade and Gabrielle Union. I don’t know anything about them except their names and have no idea what went wrong, but if one party has irretrievably checked out of the relationship, there seems little point in going on, not even for the sake of children (not sure if they have children).

  77. anarchistlibrarian says

    going by the wording alone (as i don’t follow basketball at. all.), i guess gabrielle union and dwayne wade…? ?

  79. zappy2050 says

    “Union” as in Gabrielle and Dwayne Wade. They have struggled throughout. Doesn’t he have some kids outside this relationship – at the same time he was with her? They have been together a long time – too bad.

  83. jujubee323 says

    Athlete: D.Wade
    Actress: Gabrielle “we never thought this UNION would end”

    What went wrong is she loves to force a fairy tale… and that break baby.

  89. High Steppa says

    Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade. He’s not going to get anything better. No idea what went wrong. No one knows what goes on behind closed doors…

  91. foraccts says

    Gabrielle Union and Dwayne Wade (We never thought this union would ever end.) but aren’t they already split?

    • spaceship says

      If it is him, then I feel sorry for her. As for that moron, he will soon find out that the grass is not always greener on the other side, and will probably wind up getting just what he deserves.

    Clues: “we never thought this union would ever end”

  102. Jayzzzzzz says

    Nononononono, please not Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union. Yes, they definitely seem like couples’ goals (since the “break baby”). She’s helped raised his kids and nephew for a long time now, I really hope this isn’t true.

  110. gailpow says

    ATHLETE: Dwyane Wade.
    Actress: Gabrielle Union.
    She’s older than him and he wants some young, fresh booty.

  111. missluv60 says

    D. Wade
    G. Union
    That relationship truly never recovered from the “break” baby situation.

  116. TexasHeat says

    Gabrielle Union and her NBA hubby

    I think a combination of boredom and competing egos, maybe?

  118. gossipzillaisback says

    Athlete: Dwayne Wade

    Actress: Gabrielle Union

    [Optional] What do you think went wrong? Nothing went wrong. Love is not meant to be forever, it just naturally ends as easily as it started in the first place. I wish both the best.

  123. ravenglass says

    Athlete: Dwyane Wade

    Actress: Gabrielle Union

    Why do these athletes get married? Play the field & keep your money.

    What do you think went wrong? Gabrielle recently turned 46. The next one will be a 20-year-old Instagram “model”/yacht girl.

  126. Sharper_Teeth says

    I would say Gabrielle Union and Dwayne Wade, but I don’t know if people call them couple’s goals.

  128. FoxyLoxy says

    Dwayne Wade
    Gabrielle Union
    She seems like someone who is too strong willed and social for a man with an ego like him

  130. msbeaver says

    Athlete: Dwayne Wade

    Actress: Gabrielle Union (clue We never thought this “union” would ever end)

    [Optional] What do you think went wrong? Not a clue, because is in an idiot? I mean isn’t he too young to have a midlife crisis?

  142. dadiegirl says

    Dwayne Wade and Gabrielle Union.

    Relationships can be complex. Men with money can be so obnoxious.

  146. FiyahHotFlashy says

    Athlete: Dewayne Wade

    Actress: Gabrielle Union

    [Optional] What do you think went wrong? Too much social media and too many details about their marriage

  160. Kellikopter says

    I caught the union clue. I’m assuming that’s who you meant anyway. If so, I hate to hear that.Gabrielle Union has been through a lot in her life and seems to have done a LOT of self reflecting and growing up in the last decade. Sounds like DW needs to do the same fr. I really hope they work it out. She deserves true love and happiness.

  170. calumsmom says

    Is Ayesha Curry still considered an actress? I hope this is not her & Steph – they just had a baby & seem so cute together. Couples goals for sure.

  175. GeorgiaR says

    Even though my first thought was LeBron James based on the publicity about the strength of their marriage, the clues point to Gabrielle Union, Dwyane Wade. Sad. What do I think went wrong? There is so much temptation to NBA players, especially on the road, real marriage can get boring at times, wives can get too focused on their kids’ lives instead of their husband, and sometimes testosterone can make some men do stupid things. It’s a deadly combination.

  184. spaceship says

    I’ll take a wild guess and say LeBron James and his wife, I know if it were them, it would definitely shock me! And he is now playing for Lakers in LA now…soooo???

  191. jooolie says

    Athlete: Dwayne Wade

    Actress: Gabrielle Union

    [Optional] What do you think went wrong? she’s successful in her own right and that is not good enough for a narcissistic man-child that needs attention, because mom was too strung out on drugs

  194. perspective4509 says

    Dwayne Wade and Gabrielle union.

    How you get him is how you lose him I guess. His ex wife is going to cackle

  197. kensie says

    Athlete: Dwayne Wade
    Actress: Gabrielle Union

    I think all of her baggage and constantly speaking about his kids may have taken its toll on him.

    Clue: union

    • luvprue1 says

      I think it’s Gabby& Dwayne too.

      Everything..I think it was wrong from the start. When she got with him he was still married. Than he cheated on her and had a kid with someone else. It was only a matter of time before their relationship breaks down.

  202. Hunnybunz says

    Gabriel Union

    Dwayne Wade

    Maybe the consent cheating finally got to her along with the outside child and the fact that she cannot have children of her own.

  204. tcan79 says

    Gabrielle Union and Dwayne Wade. I think once she’s over the hurt she’ll be just fine. Some other guy will snap her up and appreciate her if that’s what she wants.

  207. pajuxy says

    Dwayne Wade and Gabrielle Union

    Clue: Union

    Sad considering she’s said she’s had 9 miscarriages with him…

  210. AHHAof3 says

    Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union. Optional: what went wrong? Where do I begin? The rumors that they cheated while he was still married, the fact that he fathered a love child while they were “on a break” (which is so dumb anyway), her egotistical attitude, plus the fact that she is nearly ten years older than he? This relationship was doomed from the start.

  211. xxNYGirl says

    Athlete: Dwayne Wade

    Actress: Gabrielle Union

    [Optional] What do you think went wrong?: I don’t know – they’re so cute together!

    Had no clue until “We never thought this <> would ever end.”

  218. cheezhead says

    Dwayne wade
    Gabrielle union

    He’s a man that’s why. Pushing 40 and still playing a kids game.

  223. tehdarwinator says

    Dwayne Wade
    Gabrielle Union (obvious clue)

    The possibilities are endless, although I’m surprised to hear that this was considered to be a strong marriage.

  225. DaniJo says

    Dwyane Wade

    Gabrielle Union

    I don’t really follow the NBA anymore and he is the only player I know of that is married to an actress.

  227. pwhit72 says

    Oh no. Gabrielle Union and Dwayne Wade.
    What went wrong is the same thing that happens with other famous athletes. Too many young groupies while traveling make you forget how great you really have it at home.

    • Parade says

      Btw, it’s not the fault of the unmarried “young groupies”, it’s the fault of the married person, the one who signed the contract, the spouse.

  235. bec215d says

    Gabrielle Union/Dwayne Wade. Seems like a lot of people didn’t understand that relationship from the beginning. It is interesting timing considering he’s just announced his retirement from basketball – a wise move, at 36 and still top of his game, if this is him and it’s true. The grass is always greener…and Union doesn’t strike me as a woman who’s prone to giving second chances, and doesn’t suffer fools. Good luck with that, Dwayne.

    What went wrong? Being celebrities. It takes out most couples one way or another.

    Gabrielle Union

    Anything/everything. Time, distance, age, interests, goals, what breaks up any marriage? I’m guessing not kids and money…
