Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union may have packed schedules, but when their good friend Eva Longoria turned 50, they made sure to show up in style! The power couple joined the Desperate Housewives star for an unforgettable celebration in Miami, proving that even Hollywood’s busiest stars make time for their closest friends.
A Glamorous Affair in Miami
Eva Longoria, known for her iconic roles in The Sentinel and For Greater Glory, shares a tight bond with Union, and their friendship was on full display during the birthday bash. In a heartwarming Instagram Story, Longoria shared a snippet of her exchange with Union, captioning it, “Love you so much” with heart emojis.
Union dazzled in a stunning red gown with a sleek high ponytail, while Wade rocked an all-black ensemble topped off with a bold red cap. The night was packed with star power, featuring a special performance by Becky G before the DJ took over to close the celebration.
From Besties to Co-Stars: Union & Longoria’s New Movie
Beyond their close friendship, Union and Longoria are also teaming up for an exciting new film. During the Oscars, Union revealed that the duo will star in and produce a movie about two mothers planning the wedding of their nonbinary children. “Eva and I try to take over their wedding and make it the wedding of our dreams versus theirs,” Union explained.
Tentatively titled Divorcees, the project is set to challenge traditional norms, much like the actresses have done throughout their careers.
Breaking Barriers for Working Moms
Union and Longoria have both been vocal about advocating for better conditions for working mothers in Hollywood. In 2018, they each welcomed children—Union and Wade via surrogacy and Longoria through natural birth. They have since worked to ensure that Hollywood becomes more accommodating for moms balancing career and family.
Union previously credited Jessica Alba for setting a precedent when they co-starred in L.A.’s Finest. “When Jessica was negotiating, she had just given birth and made it clear what she needed. That paved the way for all of us to have access to our kids,” Union told Harper’s Bazaar.
Similarly, Longoria emphasized the challenges women face in directing and producing while being new mothers. “It is uncommon in our industry for women to direct and produce, much less so a woman with a baby,” she said.
What’s Next for Union & Longoria?
While their upcoming movie is still in development, fans can’t wait to see these two powerhouse women take over both on and off the screen. With their strong friendship, advocacy for women, and game-changing projects, Union and Longoria continue to push boundaries in Hollywood.
