During the documentary, Dwyane recalled the tough conversation he had with the Bring It On star, 47. “I had a child with someone else and I had to tell her. The hardest thing I’ve ever had to do is man up and tell Gabrielle Union that I’ve had a child with somebody else,” the athlete said. He added, “I couldn’t sleep. I wasn’t eating."
Dwyane continued, “When you hold something in that you know is going to come out and you have this information and you know it’s gonna f**k somebody’s life up, that you care about, that you love, if it don’t hurt you, then you’re not human.”
He added, “Me and Gab just went through something that you never want to go through, and we still came out of it.”
