  • Gabrielle Union, 46, posted a gorgeous no-makeup selfie on Friday night. In the photo, she's holding her 9-month-old daughter Kaavia.

  • Her skin routine is surprisingly simple, including a Neutrogena face wash and sunscreen along with other drugstore products.

  • Union recently told Us Weekly that she "doesn't have mom guilt."


Gabrielle Union is clearly trying to enjoy the last few weeks of summer, just like the rest of us. On Friday, the AGT host posted a series of family photos to her Instagram Story. In one post, she tagged artist Chelsea Union playing with baby Kaavia and the title "More family time!" Wearing a white and grey striped onesie, little Kaavia looked as happy as ever.

Next, Union flipped the camera on herself, wearing seemingly no makeup and yet her skin was absolutely glowing. (Her routine is surprisingly simple, with Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Acne Wash Face Scrub, followed by Mario Badescu toner, camellia oil, and sunscreen.) She noted later in her story that her bright yellow romper is part of her collection with New York & Company. With her hair pulled away from her face in a moss green headband, she looked relaxed and happy snuggling her daughter.

Union recently spoke out about her lack of mom guilt since having a child. At the America's Got Talent red carpet event on August 13, she told Us Weekly: “I don’t have mom guilt, and I’ll tell you why. Being able to have the job that I love and the baby that I dreamed of [is great]. I’m a better mom because I’m able to go away and do what I love. Even if I failed miserably, I’m following my dreams. … I would be less of a mother if I didn’t set out every day to try to make my dreams come true and other people’s dreams come true. So I don’t have guilt.”

In her 2017 book, We’re Going to Need More Wine, Union revealed that she had been through "eight or nine miscarriages," and therefore in 2018, she announced that she and husband Dwayne Wade were expecting their first child via surrogate.

We love every glimpse we get of Union enjoying motherhood!
