Gabrielle Union was a bundle of cheer when she was glimpsed Wednesday stepping out in New York to support her husband Dwyane Wade.

That night was Dwyane's final NBA game before he retires from basketball - his Miami Heat lost to the Brooklyn Nets at the Barclays Center.

At the star-studded event, the 46-year-old screen siren could be seen sharing a kiss courtside with her husband, who wrapped his arms around her.

'And as I always told her: "I want this baby just as much as you do, but I married you, and you are the most important thing to me."'

Gabrielle is starring opposite Jessica Alba in an upcoming detective show called L.A.'s Finest, a spin-off of the Bad Boys film series.

NBC gave a pilot order for the show a year ago but decided against picking it up to series - only for Charter Communications to snap up the project over the summer.
