Nollywood star Gabrielle Union announced her engagement to Miami Heat basketball player Dwyane Wade on Saturday December 21st 2013.
The 41-year-old actress shared the thrilling news on her Twitter page along with a picture of the spectacular ring on her finger, a square-cut diamond set on what appears to be a platinum band.
‘Sooooo this happened…#Yessss,’ Gabrielle excitedly wrote in the caption.
The photo is a close-up of just her hand wearing the diamond ring and resting gently on Dwyane’s fingertips.
31-year-old Wade also announced the engagement on his twitter page with the same photo and the caption: ‘She said YES!!!’
Union and Wade have been dating for four years. They broke up briefly earlier this year but reunited stronger than ever.
Wade told Jay Leno on The Tonight Show: ‘For us this was a big year for our relationship from the standpoint she was shooting her show, Being Mary Jane, and gone most of the year.
‘I was dealing with my injuries, trying to win a championship. So we kind of took a step back.
‘At the end of the day, we came back together and said we want to continue this and we want to get better each day.
This will be the second marriage for both Union and Wade.
