*Tylenol thought it had a heartwarming, family-centered promo from Gabrielle Union and husband Dwyane Wade to promote its #HowWeFamily campaign – but here comes social media, pointing out that Wade’s baby – conceived while he and Gabby were on a break – is M.I.A. in the ad…and they are calling foul on the actress.
The ad, released by Tylenol on Friday (Dec 16), shows Wade’s blended family celebrating the Christmas season in Chicago, where the former Miami Heat star now plays for the Bulls.
The couple are raising three kids together – Dwyane’s two sons Zion and Zaire and nephew Daphon. Tylenol’s description of the ad on YouTube reads: “No matter what or how you celebrate, or with whom, it’s family traditions and those you share them with that make the holidays special. Watch Gabrielle Union share what the holidays mean to her family as she joins Tylenol in celebrating all the different ways families come together during the holidays.”

But Wade has three biological sons, and folks want to know why his so-called “break baby” – youngest son Xavier – is not included in the ad.
At least one blog site is quoting an unnamed “insider” claiming that Union deliberately kept 3-year-old Xavier out of the Tylenol commercial because he was conceived during a break in their relationship.
Zion’s 8th birthday was the subject of a previous #HowWeFamily promo the couple filmed in 2015.

Meanwhile, Xavier’s mom, Aja Metoyer, has gotten an earful from Gabrielle Union fans. One wrote to Aja on Instagram: “Dear Aja, You are such a f***** up h** who got what you deserved nothing but a forgotten son who will never be a important as his other sons…”
But when they go low…
Aja responded back: “Dear sweet heart I hope u have a very merry Christmas ..
