Gabrielle Union Waiting to Have Children


While several of her celebrity peers may have caught baby fever [Essence Atkins, Tia Mowry, Beyonce], don't expect Gabrielle Union to spit out babies anytime soon.  In a recent interview the 39 year old actress revealed her plans to put off having a baby for up to five years and how she maintains her life in California separately from her life in Miami with Dwyane Wade...

Gabby tells Ocean Drive
On starting a family:

"I was never someone who thought about having kids – I mean, they're great in theory, but I never imagined having one [myself]. Maybe over the next five years I could wrap my brain around becoming a mother and what that would mean in terms of sacrifice and dedication. I don't do anything impulsively, so more toward the five years out than the one-year."

On keeping her house in California:

"[It has been] great because I have my own career and life elsewhere, I have a home I paid for with my own money, and I need to be able to nurture that as well."
