Gabrielle Union Reveals Her Massive Backyard Pool (While Twirling in a Gorgeous Blue-and-White Dress)

First, Kelly Ripa shared a rare glimpse of her pool. Then, Reese Witherspoon followed suit. And now, Gabrielle Union is teasing us with yet another gorgeous backyard.

The Bring it On alum, 48, recently shared a slideshow on her personal Instagram account, featuring snaps from a candid photoshoot at her new home in Calabasas, California.

The pics show Union happily twirling in a long, blue-and-white dress. And while we could easily talk about her glowing skin and radiant smile, we can’t take our eyes off the actress’s backyard patio and pool, which appears to go on forever. She wrote, "When @dwyanewade is on a plant based diet, so there's more hot links for meeeeeeee! Twirling for ribtips."

In the collection of pics, there's a massive carpet of manicured grass. And behind her, we see the giant pool, which is surrounded by chic white patio furniture. To her right, we also see what appears to be an outdoor bar and entertainment center, which includes cozy white chairs and a flat-screen TV.

Union shares the home with her husband, NBA player Dwyane Wade. Back in November 2018, the couple welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Kaavia, via surrogate. Wade also has three children from previous relationships: Zaire (18), Zaya (13) and Xavier (6).

As we all continue to self-isolate at home, we’ve been seeing more of celebrities’ homes than ever before. Union is following in the footsteps of Ripa, who recently gave us an unofficial house tour. This includes sneak peeks of her wall décor, traditional bathroom, gorgeous landscaping, at-home gym, massive backyard and picture-perfect pool (featuring a shirtless cameo by Mark Consuelos).

Pool party at the Union-Wade household? Welp, in our dreams.
