Gabrielle Union Says Her Journey With Surrogacy Felt Like A “F**king Public Humiliation”

Gabrielle Union the actress shared her honest feelings about having a baby via surrogacy, revealing it felt like “public humiliation” because she had to watch someone else carry her child. After acknowledging everyone’s experience with surrogacy is different, she shared her journey wasn’t easy. “For me, it felt like failure. My body failed,” the Bring It On star said in her cover story interview with Marie Claire. “It just felt like such a f**king public humiliation. Surrogacy felt like a cuckold; watching somebody do something I can’t do. To be there for somebody else succeeding where I failed — it is a mind f**k for people who have had my journey and who feel similarly. When it’s never been your reality, I get the urge to judge and cast aspersions because we all want whatever route we took to be the ‘right’ way. Union welcomed her daughter Kaavia James in 2018 via surrogate with her husband Dwyane Wade. Prior to Kaavia’s arrival, Union spoke openly about her struggles with infertility and her experience with IVF. Kaavia is six years old now and flourishing as the baby of the family with two older brothers, Zaire and Xavier, and sister Zaya.
