He's a 12-time NBA all-star, she's the former captain of the East Compton Clovers [1] (Bring It On, duh), and together they are the power couple that is Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union [2]. Now, the multifaceted duo are adding another accomplishment to their resumes: HGTV home renovators. The network recently announced that Gabrielle and Dwyane will put their love for real estate on full display in a 30-minute special called All-Star Flip.
On Thursday, April 12, the couple will "buy, overhaul, and flip a fixer upper in an up-and-coming Miami neighbourhood." Since being traded back to the Miami Heat after a two-season hiatus in Chicago and Cleveland [3], the Wade family is back in sunny Florida [4] and cannot wait to give back to the city.
"Ever since we renovated our house a few years ago I've been a little real-estate obsessed," Gabrielle said in a press release. "It took a while, but I finally convinced Dwyane that we should try flipping a house." Dwyane added, "And we're doing it to raise money for charity, so how could I say no?"
HGTV filled us in on what we can expect on the upcoming special: "Gabrielle and Dwyane will join forces with their construction team to gut an outdated ranch house and add square footage and value to the property with a grand second-story master suite. They will transform the home into a sleek, modern showplace, and, in the end, the proceeds of the sale will go to a charity of the couple's choice."
While no one can quite replace Chip and Joanna Gaines [5] and the beloved Fixer Upper series [6], we cannot wait to see what the Miami couple has in store.
