Gabby's boyfriend of many years Dwyane
Wade got his side chick pregnant while on a
'break' with the actress...and she kinda
blames herself.
The newly engaged 41 year old beauty tells
Glamour magazine
When Dwyane and I broke up briefly in
2013, it was because of distance and
scheduling. I finished filming Being Mary
Jane, then I flew to Vegas right away to
start shooting Think Like a Man Too. I
couldn't take time off, and I missed
some quality togetherness we
desperately needed. Over the summer, I
reassessed priorities. I'd always wanted
an awesome career with back-to-back
projects, but I realized I wasn't willing to
sacrifice my relationship for it. Moving
forward, I decided my work schedule has
to make sense for our family. Bottom
line: If an issue's a deal breaker, it's a
deal breaker. If your relationship isn't
something you're willing to give up and
you can compromise, do so.
She also gives relationship advice. See that
after the cut...
DO forget your "type." It worked for me. When
I met Dwyane, his "résumé" looked like crap:
athlete, going through a divorce, nine years
younger than me. None of that screamed,
"Let's have a lasting relationship." Then, after
I had a heart-crushing breakup with yet
another immature jerk, I thought, it can't be
any worse if I date a fetus. Let's just see what
happens. Turned out he'd been on his own
since he was 15. He had wisdom that comes
with facing an insane amount of adversity.
He's sweet, funny, honest about his
shortcomings. When I put my preconceived
notions to the side, I found someone cool.
DON'T put up with a friend-versus-boyfriend
tug-of-war. Some friends act possessive and
say, "You're not spending enough time with
me." Huh? Remember when we made our
vision boards and the dude was in the middle?
You're supposed to be happy for me.
Thankfully, my girls are like, "High-five!" And
D likes to be around them too. If there's
weirdness, either something's wrong with the
friends—or the boy. Investigate. And sift
accordingly.
DO show him your feelings. Daily . Dwyane
generally gets up before I do to go to the gym,
and he's never left without kissing me and
telling me he loves me. As for me, I am
complimentary to the point where I am almost
a little Chester the Molester-y. I think he's so
delicious. Watching him get out of the shower
never gets old. Never. It's not like he ever
wonders what I'm thinking, but usually he's
thinking, She needs a cold shower!
DON'T write off an ex (or get back together)
without really thinking it through. When you're
debating whether to go backward or forward,
you have to look at the original issue. [When
