Gabrielle Union is opening up about her husband Dwyane Wade‘s cancer diagnosis for the first time. The actress discussed Dwyane‘s health during an appearance on Today on Thursday morning (February 27) in New York City. Gabrielle made several appearances in the Big Apple that day to promote her new movie Riff Raff. Just last month, Dwyane revealed for the first time that he had surgery in December 2023 to remove 40% of his kidney following a cancer diagnosis. Gabrielle opened about it in the new interview. Keep reading to find out more… She said, “Obviously, him getting that diagnosis was traumatic for him, you know, being faced with your own mortality in your early 40s. You’re like, ‘Am I going to be here to see my family? Who am I without this big life? Without this healthy body?’ But you also don’t understand the journey and the toll it takes on your marriage, on your family, on your kids.” “He was a little more hesitant to take us on that journey of healing,” Gabrielle continued. “That level of vulnerability, to go through removal of a good chunk of his kidney and the healing that involved, he needed us to be OK with his vulnerability. But more than that, he needed to be OK with his vulnerability. It was a challenge to give grace and receive it.” Watch the trailer for the new movie!
