The Cleveland Cavaliers’ guard and the actress began dating in July 2009. According to Wade, he and Union briefly split up at some point early in 2013 because of career demands. During that time, Wade fathered a son, Xavier, born in November 2013 with a long-time friend. Wade and Union reconciled later in the year.

Wade made headlines on November 1, 2013, when he gave Union a ring. At the time, it wasn't an engagement ring, but her own championship ring. On December 21, 2013, though, it was the real thing, as both Union and Wade announced their engagement on their respective social media accounts.
