Despite Dwyane Wade ringing in the New Year with the announcement of his newborn son, Xavier Zechariah, the Miami Heat superstar’s fianceé Gabrielle Union appears unfazed by the surprising news.
The 41-year-old "Being Mary Jane" actress appeared on BET’s “106 & Park” yesterday where she revealed details on how the NBA All-Star popped the question to her last month.
“It was a family moment. It was really about blending two families,” she admitted. “It was so special, because the boys and D planned the whole thing and then they surprised me. And I lost it. I fell in love with those boys and I fell in love with him. So it was just a beautiful moment.”
