Wade and Union married in 2014 but struggled to conceive with the well known actress revealing that she suffered “eight or nine” miscarriages.

Now thanks to the help of a surrogate the couple are finally able to have the family that they’ve always wanted.

Congratulations to Gabrielle and Wade on the birth of their beautiful little girl.
