"The moment you find out your man has made you his 17th 🧐 tattoo. 🖤🖤🖤@dwyanewademade his best bday surprise for #SouthAfrica WadeWorldTour2022 🌍edition #Capetown Part 4," she wrote on Instagram.

In a video she shared online, Union was filming the reveal of the tattoo when she gasped and shouted, realizing what tattoo he had gotten. 

"The reaction though😍😍😍👏👏," a fan commented. 

Union celebrated her milestone 50th birthday while traveling in Africa with Wade.

"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," she wrote on Instagram.
