Former basketball player Dwyane Wade has revealed he found it very tough to tell his now-wife Gabrielle Union he had a child with another woman. In 2013, Wade took a break from his relationship with Gabrielle and had son, Xavier, with ex-partner Aja Metoyer.

Speaking in his upcoming documentary, D Wade: Life Unexpected, he said: "I had a child with someone else and I had to tell her. Hardest thing I've ever had to do is man up and tell Gabrielle that I've had a child with somebody else. I couldn't sleep. I wasn't eating. Gab and me just went through something that you never want to go through and we still came out of it."
