Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade's love story: A timeline of their relationship

Nearly nine years after Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade said, "I do," the couple is still making headlines as they share the highs and lows of their relationship.

The pair met in February 2007, but rumors that love was in the air didn't surface until two years later. They premiered their, ahem, union with a little courtside PDA in 2010 and have been sharing their love story with the world ever since.

The couple tied the knot in 2014 with a lux Miami wedding and sealed the deal with a three-part honeymoon extravaganza. Union has embraced her role as stepmom to Wade's two children with his former wife, and his nephew whom Wade has custody of.

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
