The magazine points out how successful Union has been on and off screen, starting her own fashion collection, creating her own wine and even writing best-selling books.

\"I was already me and fully formed, financially solvent, and educated,\" she said about when she met Wade a few years back.

\"I recommend you come in fully formed before going into a relationship because that whole Jerry MacGuire ‘you complete me’ bull -- is exactly that. You complete you, and then find your person,” she told InStyle.

Last year, the duo welcomed a daughter, via a surrogate. At the time, she posted about the miracle baby and how happy the couple was.

A post shared by Gabrielle Union-Wade (@gabunion) on Mar 12, 2019 at 10:19am PDT

\"We are sleepless and delirious but so excited to share that our miracle baby arrived last night via surrogate and 11/7 will forever be etched in our hearts as the most loveliest of all the lovely days,\" they wrote. \"Welcome to the party sweet girl!\"

Union, 46, and Wade, 37, wed in 2014 and had been trying to conceive a child for years. In 2017, the actress wrote in her memoir, \"We're Going to Need More Wine,\" that she'd had \"eight or nine\" miscarriages.
