The couple began dating in 2009 and, but broke up briefly earlier this year. Dwyane Wade fathered a son during the temporary split from his now-fiancée Gabrielle Union , Entertainment Tonight reports.
Dwyane already has two sons, Zaire, 11, and Zion, six, with ex-wife Siovaughn Funches. He has full custody of the boys and also raises his nephew. Dwyane and Siovaughn divorced in 2010, three years after they split.
The settlement was complicated by the fact that Siovaughn filed a $50,000 lawsuit against Gabrielle alleging intentional infliction of emotional distress due to her relationship with her estranged husband.
The actress, 41, was aware of the child before she accepted the Miami Heat guard's proposal on Dec. 21, a source tells the show, and the pair have worked through the issue privately. Wade, 31, has known the baby's mother for years and recently visited with his new son.
Wade spoke to Jay Leno on The Tonight Show in September about the break from Union, whom he had dated since 2009. The separation was largely due to the demands of their work lives, he explained.
"Celebrity relationships [are] very hard," he says. "This was a big year for us and our relationship from the standpoint of she was shooting her show Being Mary Jane, going most of the year. I was dealing with my injuries, trying to win a championship, so we kinda took a step back."
"We supported each other ... but at the end of the day we came back together and [said], 'Listen, we want to continue this, we want to continue to try to get better each day,' and she's been with me, and I've been with her all summer long. We're going strong now."
Wade acknowledged the development to the Sun Sentinel, he said: 'I had a time, a part in our break, in our pain and our hurt, a blessing came out of it in my life, having a son that was born healthy. So I'm moving on.'Gabrielle was shocked and angry when she learned the truth, a source told E!, and she distanced herself from the basketball player.
But they have since reconciled and his proposal, accompanied by a $1 million 8.5 carat ring, sealed their love.
There has been no comment from Gabrielle about the child.
