Gabrielle Union
Union tied the knot with Dwyane Wade at the age of 41 in 2014. Last year she shared relationship advice based on her own past hiccups and her marriage.
“Having been there before, there’s always options,” Union said in an interview with The Grio. “A lot of times we have to get out of our own way. We have an idea of what our type is. If your type hasn’t worked for you in 40 years — guess what? Your type sucks! Time to change your type. Open it up a little bit. Think outside the box! Maybe they’re younger, maybe they’re older, maybe they don’t come in the shape or size or color that you assume they would come in.”
“But there’s so many dope people out there that if you open yourself up and get out of your own way, you’re going to have a lot of options,” she added. “A lot more options than you think.”
