Gabrielle shared that Dwyane initially did not tell the whole family.

The pair recently looked in a good mood when they attended the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar party in Beverly Hills on Sunday.

Union surprised in a sleeveless black dress with golden flower accents, while Dwyane accompanied her in a classic black suit with a butterfly tie.

Last month, Gabrielle opened for the first time about the Tolwade's cancer diagnosis that took him, on her and on their families.

“It was clear that he received that diagnosis, traumatic for him, you know, confronted with your own mortality in your early 40s,” Union said today with Jenna and friends.

'You are something like that:' Am I here to see my family? Who am I without this great life? Without this healthy body? '' '

The former NBA player was operated on in December 2023 to remove a cancer -like tumor on his kidney that led doctors to remove 40 percent of his kidney.

“But you also understand the journey and the toll that your marriage takes on your family, to your children,” Union reminded himself.

The actress noted that the experience Wade made 'a little more hesitant' to let his loved ones come in on his 'Journey of Healing'.

Wade shares children Zaire, 22, and Zaya, 17, with ex-wife Siovaughn Funches, Son Xavier, 10, with Ex Aja Metoyer and daughter Kaavia, 6, with Union.

“That level of vulnerability, to remove a good part of his kidney and the healing to remove and the healing involved, he needed to be in order with his vulnerability,” Union explained to organize Jenna Bush Hager.

“But more than that, he had to be good with his vulnerability. It was a challenge to give and receive grace. '

Wade mentioned last month on his podcast that it was the first time that one of his children had seen him 'weak'.

“That moment was probably the weakest point I've ever felt in my life,” Wade said at the time.

'The moments that I was alone, I had a hard time. One thing you never want to do as a man … is [for] Your family to see you weak. It's difficult. '

Dwyane explained that a routine control he went for when he experienced stomach discomfort and a weaker urine flow resulted in doctors who discovered a tumor on his right kidney.

'About the process of control, such as:' Why does my p *** come out slowly, why is my power not powerful? Why is it a bit weak? ', Wade explains.

He then revealed that a full-body scan found a 'cyst/tumor' on one of his kidneys and doctors told him that he needed surgery.

He said, “I didn't go to my kidneys, but because I did the scan of the whole body, they saw something.”

Dwyane explained that he had not kept any regular medical exams since he withdrew from the NBA in 2019.

About his decision to undergo surgery, Wade said: “I had a personal decision, and what it was was:” If this is cancer, if this tumor is, this cyst is cancer, on your kidney, you are 41 years old, you probably need an operation because it is something that needs to be removed so that it does not spread. “

He added that he chose the whole body's exam after he had seen his father undergone surgery.

When doctors found the tumor, Dwyane said that the masses could not be biopsy. To confirm cancer, the star said he needed surgery, which he underwent in December 2023.

He added: 'Thank goodness that I did the operation, right? Because the tumor was cancer. '

When Wade woke up from an operation, Gabrielle and his father were there. The former athlete admitted that he was 'happy' to have his family there to support and encourage him.
