#MamaMogul Gabrielle Union and Daughter Kaavia On Parents Magazine Cover

Gabrielle Union and Daughter Kaavia are on the cover of the May issue of Parents Magazine. It is Kaavia’s debut on the cover of a magazine, and at four months old, she is certainly the cutest thing we’ve seen in a long time.

Gabrielle Union doesn’t look too shabby either. Motherhood certainly agrees with her.

Being a working mom and Mama Mogul is something that Gabrielle prides herself in, and in the featured article, she shares how she has been adjusting to being a mom.

On motherhood

“I’m okay with life not being balanced,” she says. “I’m not hitting it out of the park in every area. There are times I should be studying lines, but I’m playing with my baby and I’m enjoying it.”

On her infertility struggle

“There was a lot of pain, and a lot of disappointment,” says Union, who suffered multiple miscarriages and unsuccessful IVF treatments over nearly five years. “I felt like I was not only disappointing myself and my spouse, but all the people who’d hung a lot of hope on us. I felt like a complete loser and failure.”

On adjusting

“An upside of being 46 and having been a stepparent is I give myself permission to be human,” she says. “When I need a minute to return emails or cry or mindlessly scroll social media, I’ll take it. I’m not trying to be a perfect parent.”

On Work Life Management

“I’m okay with life not being balanced,” she says. “I’m not hitting it out of the park in every area. There are times I should be studying lines, but I’m playing with my baby and I’m enjoying it.”

On the reality of nap time

“Kaavia went through a phase of not napping,” the actress recalls. “I was like, ‘When do I shower or pee or live?’ So I had to get a little comfortable with her crying, which I had not been. And then I took the quickest shower of all time!”

I am so happy to see Gabrielle Union and her daughter Kaavia and the whole family blending and thriving. What a great gift that they have been given.

Gabrielle Union continues to grow her #MamaMogul empire. A new season of Being Mary Jane premieres on BET in April, and her line at NYC & Company continues to be a huge seller. She also working on other projects as well.
