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."
