Gabrielle Union is speaking out about her husband Dwayne Wayde’s cancer diagnosis. Union, 52—who has been married to former NFL star Wayde, 43, since 2014—shared a life update on their family after doctors discovered a cancerous tumor on his kidney. “Obviously, him getting that diagnosis was traumatic for him, being faced with your own mortality in your early 40s,” Union said on TODAY With Jenna & Friends. “You’re like, ‘Am I going to be here to see my family? Who am I without this big life? Without this healthy body?’” In December 2023, Wade underwent surgery to remove the tumor, which also took 40 percent of his kidney. “He needed us to be OK with his vulnerability,” Union continued. “But more than that, he needed to be OK with his vulnerability. It was a challenge to give grace and receive it.” Wade has said on his own podcast that he felt the surgery was the “weakest point” of his life, according to the Daily Mail. After receiving a full body scan after a routine check-up, doctors told him he needed surgery on the tumor, which couldn’t be biopsied. “Thank God that I did do the surgery, right? Because the tumor was cancerous.”
