TOUCHING: Gabrielle Union, 42, Talks about Her Inability To Give Birth...

Those of us that enjoy black Hollywood movies will be very familiar with her, She spent her 20s and 30s establishing herself in Hollywood,

with roles in films like Bring It On.

Now happily married, Gabrielle Union has opened up about the
pain of infertility - saying she hates hearing it's because of her
success.

During an appearance on The Today Show on Monday, the 42-
year-old actress who wedded her 33-year-old husband
Dwyane Wade, last year, explained that too often a woman's
career is blamed for
her subsequent failure to have a child.

'I think TV shows and film kind of make the frigid, you know
single-focused career woman, that her career is the root of
all of the problems in her life. Can't find a man, it's the
career.

Marriage falls apart, it's the career!...and that's just
not the case.'
'If you happen to have issues with fertility as you've gotten
older and you happen to have a career, all is not lost...there
are so many options, and you're not alone. Having a career
is not the price that you pay for any ill.'
However Gabrielle stopped short of revealing how she was
being treated, other than to say it was not IVF.
'I was actually not talking about IVF for me personally, but
more of just in general.Most of my friends who have done
IVF aren't women in their 40's - women in their 20's and
30's.'
Gabrielle also shared her happiness at being married to her
younger basketball star husband.
'Like hot, delicious, it doesn't get old! Everyday he gets out
of bed I'm like, "Yes, thank you Jesus!" He looks just as
good going as he does coming! It's nice! It's not a bad gig!
Some people look at marriage as the end of freedom. And
for some reason, especially my husband, has sort of looked
at it as the freedom to finally be the man he always wanted
to be.
I've had to get used to him being so freakishly happy...we
really enjoy each other in a way that's probably not very
healthy for us.'
