Gabrielle Union celebrates 50th birthday in Zanzibar
Walking into 50… like a champion.
'Bad Boys' actress Gabrielle Union rang in her 50s with a dance party in Zanzibar.
The actress celebrated her birthday with close family and friends. "Walkin Into 50… Like A Champion," she captioned a video of herself strutting her stuff in a sheer dress.
Gabrielle, who many will remember from her roles in 'Bring It On', 'Cheaper by the Dozen', and 'Bad Boys' starring Will Smith, enjoyed several days at Meliá Zanzibar - a luxury hotel surrounded by a white sandy beach and beautiful ocean views.
Gabrielle's husband, former NBA star Dwyane Wade, secretly flew in some of her close friends and family for a surprise party at the hotel.
The couple's daughter, Kaavia, joined the family for the celebration. Dwayne shared a sweet post on Instagram to mark his wife's birthday.
"50!??? Where!?? Happy Birthday to my dream girl! We’re in Africa celebrating you as I type this. I’m forever grateful and in debt to the universe for choosing me to be your husband! Let’s keep making this love thing, do what we want it to do! I got you," he wrote.
