“Gabby’s first big step and me?” Wade began to respond, before catching and pointing out: “Ooh, I called her Gabby. She wouldn’t like that.”

Bush Hager, visibly perplexed, asked: “Don’t you call her Gabby?”

Wade then clarified that Union is not a fan of the name “Gabby” and said he has to call her “gabs”, which is “a long history.”

The basketball player left the spectators in a nickname he can use for his wife while describing his “first big step” as a couple, who involved the children of the Union.

“The children, if they saw the sign that we presented when I proposed, said ‘Nickie’, and I presented it as Nickie,” he said, explaining that the nickname is derived from the second name of Union, Monique.
