Between their countless poolside #Baecation shots, choreographed dance moves and PDA-packed romance, actress Gabrielle Union and NBA star Dwyane Wade have undoubtedly set the gold standard of Instagram #CoupleGoals. Doing the most to flex the highlights of their marriage on each of their feeds, it's clearly evident that the Think Like a Man star and her point guard hubby are dedicated to moving past the "break baby" scandal that clouded the early days of their 2014 marriage.
"Celebrity relationships [are] very hard," Wade admitted while discussing his temporary split from Union during a September 13 appearance on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno. "This was a big year for us and our relationship from the standpoint of she was shooting her show Being Mary Jane, going most of the year. I was dealing with my injuries, trying to win a championship, so we kinda took a step back."
"We supported each other, but at the end of the day we came back together and [said], 'Listen, we want to continue this, we want to continue to try to get better each day,' and she's been with me, and I've been with her all summer long. We're going strong now," continued the 12-time NBA All-Star.
Now finally recovered from the fallout of Wade's "break baby," Union opened up to Complex about the intense effort behind each and every #RelationshipGoals Instagram upload.
"People are like ‘goals’; me and D are like, ‘wtf?’ We’ve kind of figured it out now, but I guess maybe we should tweet live from couples’ therapy. And when you ask us we’re gonna tell you, there’s a process to happy," said the Breaking In star, admitting that they have to put in the work IRL to show off their picture-perfect love story.
