NBA legend Dwyane Wade had to tell his now-wife Gabrielle Union that he fathered a child with another woman while they were “on a break.”
Dwyane, 38, opened up about the difficult conversation with Gabrielle, 47, in his upcoming ESPN documentary D. Wade: Life Unexpected.

He said in a clip: “I had a child with someone else and I had to tell her. Hardest thing I’ve ever had to do is man up and tell Gabrielle Union that I’ve had a child with somebody else.
“I couldn’t sleep. I wasn’t eating.”
The basketball star continued: “When you hold something in that you know is going to come out and you have this information and you know it’s gonna f**k somebody’s life up, that you care about, that you love, if it don’t hurt you, then you’re not human.”

He said the two “went through something that you never want to go through.”
And that they “still came out of it.”
The retired Miami Heat player and actress began dating in 2009.

During a break, he conceived now 6-year-old son Xavier in 2013 with Basketball Wives star Aja Metoyer.
He proposed to the former America’s Got Talent star later that year.
Wade was already father to son Zaire, 18, daughter Zaya, 12, and nephew Dahveon, 18.
