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.

  14. 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.

  24. 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.

  29. 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.

  38. 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???

  45. 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

  48. Dwayne Wade and Gabrielle union.

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

  51. 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

    • 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.

  56. 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.

  58. 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.

  61. Dwayne Wade and Gabrielle Union

    Clue: Union

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

  64. 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.

  65. 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.”

  77. 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.

  79. 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.

  81. 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.

    • 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.

  89. 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.

  90. Athlete: Dwayne Wade

    Actress: Gabrielle Union

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

  92. Wade and gabriellle union? Didn’t they just get married? NBA is a long season n they cheat like baseball players. Baseball have 3 games in a town so groupies hang a lot but nba just 1 unless playoffs.

  98. Dwayne Wade
    Gabrielle Union

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