Gabrielle Union has had quite a special 50th birthday, and husband Dwyane Wade topped it off with a very personal gift: a tattoo of her initials.

The actress shared a video of the moment she first saw the tattoo and realized it was a dedication to her. 

“The moment you find out your man has made you his 17th ? tattoo. ???@dwyanewade made his best bday surprise for #SouthAfrica WadeWorldTour2022 ?edition #Capetown Part 4,” Union wrote in the caption, with “Best bday gift yet” written across the video itself.  

In the video, a moment after Union realizes what the tattoo is, she goes up to Wade and gives him a sweet kiss. The couple’s daughter Kaavia, who just turned four years old on Nov. 7, also appears in the video, getting a look at the tattoo before she turns away smiling. 

Many loved the sweet and subtle tattoo, with one person in the comments writing, “Love is truly a beautiful thing?❤️.”

“My fav couple ❤️,” another fan said.

As she turned 50 years old, Union and her family really pulled out all the stops for the celebration, traveling to a few countries in Africa, including Tanzania, Ghana, Namibia, and South Africa.

While visiting Namibia, they visited Etosha National Park and got to watch a herd of elephants hanging out together while bathing and playing in water.

The trip was filled with many other exciting and meaningful moments as well, and Wade even planned a surprise birthday celebration during their time in Tanzania. 

Showing a little of the stunning party, Union captioned the post, “I’m still processing the level of effort and planning that went into pulling off such an unbelievable 50th birthday party in Zanzibar Tanzania and keep the details a surprise from my nosy self. I’m beyond grateful for all of my loved ones who flew around the world to celebrate with me.”

Along with Kaavia, Union is stepmother to Wade’s other children with previous partners–Zaire, Zaya, and Xavier–while also filling a similar role with Wade’s nephew, Dahveon Morris, as Wade is his legal guardian.
