Dwyane Wade ‘tried to break up’ with Gabrielle Union before admitting he had baby with another woman

Dwyane Wade didn’t know how to tell Gabrielle Union he fathered a child with another woman while they were on a break — so he almost didn’t.

The retired NBA player looked back on the 2013 scandal in an interview with Shannon Sharpe Wednesday, admitting he “tried to break up” with his now-wife instead of coming clean.

“I tried to pussyfoot around it,” the 41-year-old explained.

At the time, he told the actress, “Hey, things have been bad lately. … We’ve been having a little distance in our relationship anyway.”

Union, however, “kept showing up” for the Miami Heat player, and he ultimately told her about conceiving son Xavier, now 9, with “Basketball Wives” star Aja Metoyer.
