Stating how stressed and anxious they were, Gabrielle Union said:

"I think she is so calm about it 'cause I think she knows exactly where she wants to go, but I think she's humouring us with seeing what our country has to offer. We're stressed out. We're stressed out about her being away from us... Parents all have the same nerves and anxieties about sending their babies away. It's tough."

She continued:

"She wants to major in astrobiology, so there's only so much help we can offer, to be honest... I was a Sociology major, so I'm like, 'Girl you're on your own."

Gabrielle Union married popular NBA Dwyane Wade in August 2014 after dating for six years and became a stepmother to his three kids. After that, the couple welcomed their first kid, Kaavia James Wade, in 2018, who was born via surrogacy. Hence, Gabrielle Union is a mother to 4 kids.

Gabrielle Union has produced the movie The Idea of You, which will be released on Prime Video on May 2, 2024. The movie stars Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine and tells the tale of a single mother who falls in love with the lead singer of a boy band. Along with Union, others like Cathy Schulman, Anne Hathaway, Robinne Lee, etc., are also on the list of producers.

She loves dressing up and doing cheers, so that's really all I've gotten, what you've seen. It's cute. It's so cute. She loves to dance and sing and perform and all the things."

She concluded the interview by stating that she has become extremely picky in choosing movies and shows and that her family is constantly "on the brain."
