Actress Gabrielle Union is somewhere celebrating with big smiles. She turns 39 today if you can believe it. The Midwestern born actress could clearly pass for a woman in her 20s.

Gabrielle has always been one of our favorite screen queens, with starring roles in past classics like “Bring It On”, “Bad Boys”, and “Deliver Us From Eva”.

When she’s not showing off her acting chops, Gabrielle can be spotted supporting her favorite charities and spending quality time with her longtime beau Dwyane Wade and his kids.

Union says following the beat of her own drum is what keeps her happy. “I literally don’t try to be a slave to any trend or anyone’s opinion.” Here, here, sister. Happy birthday, Gabby!
