Gabrielle Union and Rapper Saweetie Are Cousins

Beauty, brains, and talent run in the family! Actress Gabrielle Union has been having tons of family time as a new mommy to she and her husband Dwyane Wade‘s baby girl, Kaavia.

Speaking of family, Gabrielle’s #WomanCrushWednesday post revealed an icy member of her family. Her caption reads:

“Today’s #WCW is @kehlani. This Bay Area force of nature creates music that heals AND bops. She is an original that hasn’t lost her soul. Maybe it’s because she reminds me of my homegirl @mrsmiawright (both rep Cali to the socks), or that she collabs with other great talent like my little cousin @saweetie… or maybe it’s watching her on her journey to motherhood that has me rooting so hard for her, but I really respect and like her. Seeing her smile literally changes the trajectory of my day. She is truly a light in dark times. Please let us all lift her and her family up in the light of goodness and hold her there.”
