According to ET News, Dwayne Wade fathered a son with another woman while on a break from fiancée, Gabrielle Union. The two broke up earlier this year and it's during this time that it happened. Wade and Union are said to have worked through this matter "privately as a couple" before their engagement last week.

So far the identity of the woman is a mystery. However, she and Dwayne are said to have known each "for many years" and have an amicable relationship.

Update: The mystery woman has been identified as Aja Metoyer, 30. She gave birth to Wade's son,  Xavier Zechariah Wade, on Nov. 10, 2103. Although, the birth certificate does not name Dwayne Wade as the father, he has acknowledged paternity during a recent press conference.

There is speculation that Wade and Gabrielle were not on "a break" when the child was conceived.

This sounds really messy.
