Gabrielle Union & Dwyane Wade Split: Gabi Blames Career Focus For Love Child

Gabrielle identified that the “original issue” of her brief split with Dwyane was she was putting her career first, she told Glamour.

Gabrielle Union’s New Role

“[When Dwyane and I broke up briefly in 2013], it was because of distance and scheduling,” Gabrielle, 41, told Glamour. “I finished filming the show, then I flew to Vegas right away to start shooting Think Like a Man Too. I couldn’t take time off, and I missed some quality togetherness we desperately needed.”

“Over the summer, I reassessed priorities. I’d always wanted an awesome career with back-to-back projects, but I realized I wasn’t willing to sacrifice my relationship for it,” Gabrielle admitted. “Moving forward, I decided my work schedule has to make sense for our family.”

Gabi accepted Dwyane and Aya’s son, Xavier Zachariah Wade, now 1 month old, and seems happier than ever in her relationship.

Gabrielle Union Expecting Dwyane Wade’s Baby?

The latest buzz from Gabi and Dwyane’s relationship is that the pair, who got engaged in Dec. 2013, are expecting a child together. “Gabby and her fiancé Dwyane have been open about having children, and now that a wedding is around the corner, now is as good a time as ever,” a source told MediaTakeOut, revealing friends suspect she is already pregnant.

What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Do you think it’s fair for Gabrielle to blame herself?
