Actress Gabrielle Union and her NBA star husband Dwayne Wade have welcomed a baby girl, the celebrity couple announced Thursday.

The child, born Wednesday via a surrogate, is the first for Union, 45, and the fourth for Wade, who has three sons from previous relationships. The couple is also raising Wadeโ€™s nephew.

Wade, 36, announced the new arrival via social media:

โ€œWe are sleepless and delirious but so excited to share that, our miracle baby, arrived last night via surrogate and 11/7 will forever be etched in our hearts as the most loveliest of all the lovely days,โ€ the Miami Heat star wrote.

In her 2017 memoir โ€œWeโ€™re Going to Need More Wine,โ€ Union shed light on her struggles with infertility, revealing she had โ€œeight or nine miscarriages.โ€

โ€œFor three years, my body has been a prisoner of trying to get pregnant โ€” Iโ€™ve either been about to go into an IVF cycle, in the middle of an IVF cycle or coming out of an IVF cycle,โ€ Union wrote.
