  • Gabrielle Union: See How Dwyane Wade Proposed [VIDEO]

    The super private wedding plans of Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade were first leaked to the public when TMZ got hold of the couple’s wedding invitations in late July. Although readers are anxious to know more details about the wedding set for August 30, the celebrity couple is doing a good job of keeping everything under the radar.

    TMZ, however, has again gotten hold of the couple’s Save the Date video that was part of the wedding invitation the couple gave out to guests. In the video, previously unseen footage now shows us how Wade proposed to his long-time girlfriend on bended knee. It also shows how Wade’s children, Zaire and Zion, and nephew, Dahveon, contributed in getting a “Yes” from Union.

    A ready camera crew, organized by Wade, captured the kids playing an adorable role in the engagement by holding up “Will you marry us?” signs. CBS Sports reports that it is an interesting sign that Wade thoughtfully included his children in the wedding affairs. It shows he really values his family and he won’t allow the children to feel left out.  Fans will remember that Wade wrote a book on fatherhood called A Father First, released in 2012.

    No other information about the wedding can be found in the video. In an effort to keep the ceremonies private, the couple invited only close friends and family members. The location of the wedding ceremony is still undisclosed. Guests were only given the address to a designated meeting place from where they will be shuttled by private bus to the venue. The wedding invitations, which are beautifully crafted from wood with a black ribbon accent, also specifically asked the guests not to bring phones and cameras to the wedding.

    “The lives and most personal moments of celebrities are sadly constantly under siege,” wrote Wade in a social media post about this Save the Date vid.

    The couple’s guests, however, can look forward to what seems to be a grand party as the invitations also asked that the attendees be ready to: “Put on your dancing shoes and join us for a THROW DOWN.”

  • Dwyane Wade Confirms ‘Love Child’, Birth Certificate Released

    Lately, Miami heat star guard Dwyane Wade has been making headlines left and right. His whirlwind romance has created a media firestorm. However, his romantic involvement hasn’t just been centered around one woman.

    It’s been nearly two weeks since the 3-time NBA champion proposed to his girlfriend, actress Gabrielle Union. Now, there’s a baby. But, it’s not one he fathered with Union.

    A couple days ago, rumors began to float that Wade fathered another child during his relationship with the Deliver Us From Eva star.

    However, the news is no longer a rumor, as the 9-time NBA All-Star has confirmed that the child is his.

    According to Hollywood Life, Wade released a statement to reporters in regards to his newborn child on Monday, Dec. 30.

    “As I’ve always done my whole life … is always focus on what’s most important to me and my family, and that’s being a great father,” said Wade. “I’ve always tried to show my importance in my kids’ lives and it doesn’t change now.”

    Wade also clarified that the child was conceived during his split from his fiancé’. He also expressed that the child was conceived during a rather difficult time in his life, but the child is, indeed, a breath of fresh air for him.

    “Yeah, I had a time … in our pain and our hurt, (but) a blessing came out of it in my life, having a son that was born healthy,” Wade told reporters. “So, I’m moving on.” ‘D-Wade’ went on to share his sentiments of fatherhood and the importance of his involvement in his children’s lives.

    “You know me,” Wade said. “I’m involved in my kids’ lives. When my kids were living at home with me, or wasn’t living at home with me, I tried to do everything I could to see them.” He actually has full custody of his two older sons, Zion and Zaire, while raising his nephew Dahveon Morris.

    “It would compromise it if I wasn’t a father first,” said Wade. “I’m always going to be a father first. That doesn’t change. If you decide to when you can be a father, that’s when it compromises. But, like I said, this is something, obviously, private for my family that we will continue to deal with as a family but we have a blessing to the bloodline, to the Wade bloodline. And from that standpoint, it doesn’t, to me, state anything differently from what I’ve always shown.”

    TMZ reports that the Wade’s newborn son, Xavier Zechariah Wade, was born Nov. 10, 2013. The child’s mother, Aja Metoyer, did not list Wade as the father on the child’s birth certificate, but the baby does has Wade’s last name. The publication also released the public documented birth certificate in a tweet.
