And in the years since, the longtime couple have kept showing up for each other by putting in the work to make their relationship successful.
“It hasn’t been perfect, it will never be perfect,” Dwyane noted. “But that was nine years ago. We go to therapy, we’ve been to therapy. We’ve had shouts about it. We’ve had regular conversations about it. It’s been something that is going to continue to be something that I have to work at and work on. It doesn’t go away because years come or because I say sorry.”
But despite the ups and downs, at the end of the day, Dwyane is ready to own his story—and is grateful for it all.
“Right now, this is all mine,” he reflected. “And as good as it looked, or as bad as it seems, it’s mine. I’m thankful to even have the good in my life. And I’m also thankful to have the things that’s a little uncomfortable to talk about and deal with and experience, because that makes you live a full life.”
