Gabrielle Union recently shared that her husband Dwyane Wade’s 2023 kidney cancer diagnosis significantly impacted their marriage. During an appearance on “Today with Jenna & Friends,” Union explained that the ninth year of their marriage was particularly challenging due to Wade’s health issues.

The couple’s resilience and openness about their challenges have been key factors in navigating these difficult times.
