Gabrielle Union and her husband Dwyane Wade are the toast of the town as they enjoy a glass of wine in chic Santa Barbara
Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade were spotted in Santa Barbara on Saturday.
The couple appeared to be making the most of the lovely springtime weather while enjoying a few glasses of wine in a local restaurant’s outdoor dining area.
The two have been romantically connected ever since 2008 and currently share a daughter while the actress serves as a stepmother to the NBA star’s other children.

Union was dressed in a light blue denim jacket worn on top of a white t-shirt and matching pairs of pants and sneakers during her outing.
The 45-year-old actress accessorized with a small purse slung over her shoulder and a stylish pair of black sunglasses.
Her typically flowing hair was tied up in a small bun for the length of her time in the shining California sun.
Wade kept it casual in a sleeveless anorak sweater that featured a graphic print on his top’s front pocket.

The 39-year-old former professional basketball player also wore a pair of slim pants, a set of black shoes and a matching baseball cap while spending time with his wife.
Union and Wade first began dating in 2008 and briefly split up in 2013 before reconciling shortly afterward.
Prior to starting a relationship with the former Miami Heat team member, the actress was married to NFL player Chris Howard from 2001 until 2006, and she later noted that she may have entered the marriage without much forethought.
Her now-husband became married to his high school sweetheart, Siohvaughn Funches, in 2001, and the two went on to welcome a son named Zaire, aged 19, and a daughter named Zaya, aged 13.
Going strong: The couple first met in 2008 and, following a brief period of separation in 2013, have remained together ever since

The couple went on to separate in 2007 and finalized their divorce three years later following a lengthy court battle.
During his brief separation from Union, Wade welcomed a son named Xavier, aged seven, with his longtime friend, Aja Metoyer, in 2013.
The athlete was also granted full custody of his nephew, Dahveon Morris, in 2011.
After reconciling with his now-wife, the former professional basketball player and the actress became engaged and were married in 2014.
The pair later welcomed a daughter named Kaavia James, aged two, via a surrogate four years after they tied the knot.
