Even after a 32-year-long acting career, Gabrielle Union remains a hot topic in the mainstream media for many reasons. Be it her controversial past with her ex-husband Chris Howard, her current life with Dwyane Wade, or her honest confession, Union somehow finds herself in the headlines.

Recently, once again, she is the talk of the Hollywood town after her honest confession about the traumatic events in her past, as she addressed the ‘infidelity’ remarks. Accepting that and embracing the cruel truth has helped her liberate in many ways. Lately, talking about many aspects of her life, the 50-year-old dived deep into her psyche to reveal the wonders of her life.

Gabrielle Union on finding peace in the ‘cruel truth’

Having lived for half a century, the former AGT judge has accumulated experiences that have built the person she is today. In the many topics she discussed, one theme that stood out was her relationship with accepting the truth.

Talking of how she is more comfortable with the truth rather than just lying to herself, Gabrielle revealed. “We lie to others to cover up our own bad behavior. We lie, we lie, we lie. But the bubble the lies create is unsustainable. And when it pops, everyone’s upset,” Union said while talking to The Washington Post.

Giving a unique example of how one can feel cruel about telling the truth, Gabrielle stated, “If there’s like a booger, there’s that moment where you think, I should probably give them the truth, but it feels cruel.”

According to her, the cruelty of telling the truth is sometimes difficult, but Gabrielle would much rather find solace in the truth rather than being lied to. She made it clear by stating, “You are not doing me any favors lying to me. I need the truth, whatever that is.”

Gabrielle Union’s past with Infidelity

Gabrielle Union is almost synonymous with her spouse Dwyane Wade in today’s world, but that wasn’t always the case. Before she married the NBA icon, she was married to former Jacksonville Jaguars star Chris Howard. Together for almost 5 years, the two divorced in 2006 after Howard’s infidelity came to light.

Admitting that it was not the right decision years later, Gabrielle also agreed that she wasn’t winning any wife-of-the-year awards. Gabrielle revealed it was a poor decision on her part in an interview; “It was such a stupid relationship that should have never got out of the dating phase.”
