Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade are in continued wedded bliss!
The actress, 52, and the former NBA player, 43, celebrated their 11th wedding anniversary on Saturday, Aug. 30.
The couple marked the occasion with a joint Instagram post, featuring a video collage of them throughout the years. “Eleven years of marriage and I’m still waking up next to my best friend, laughing through the adventures, dancing through the challenges, and raiding the snack cabinet together. This love feels like the best sleepover we get to call home,” Union and Wade wrote in their caption.
“Thank you to everyone who continue[s] to pray over our union, wade beside us, and pour into our family. We don’t take it for granted. Here’s to more years of love, laughter, and everything in between. Forever, to eternity, and to us. 🥂✨,” the couple added.
Wade also shared a sweet snapshot of himself and Union in a post on his Instagram Stories, highlighting their anniversary festivities.

Union and Wade first met in February 2007, but they didn’t start dating for another two years.
At the time, the Being Mary Jane alum had recently divorced her first husband, former NFL star Chris Howard, and Wade was still married to his then-wife, Siohvaughn Funches.
Union and Wade later went public with their relationship in 2010, announced their engagement in 2013, and they tied the knot a year later in 2014.
Wade and Union are parents to a 6-year-old daughter, Kaavia James. The athlete also shares two children with ex-wife Funches — Zaire, 23, and Zaya, 18 — as well as a son, Xavier, 11, with Aja Metoyer. Wade is also the legal guardian of his nephew, Dahveon Morris, 21.

Back in 2021, Wade and Union spoke with PEOPLE exclusively about their relationship.
“This is both of our second marriages, and we’re super transparent about that,” said the actress at the time. “We didn’t do it right, the first time around.”
“There’s another way — to be more collaborative and equitable. We humble ourselves, listen and we meet in the middle,” she continued.
Last year, Union and Wade celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary surrounded by family and friends.
They each gave speeches, and Union serenaded her husband with a rendition of Shania Twain’s “You’re Still the One.”
