It’s clear Gabrielle Union is intent on embracing her forties.

Proving age is just a number the Bring It On star posted three stunning Instagram photos of herself in a very revealing cream bikini.

Looking 20 years younger than her real age – the 5ft 7in former model will be 41 on October 29 – her perfectly toned tummy was on show, along with her long, slender legs.

Gabrielle’s lush, dark, shoulder-length hair was casually styled around her face.

The Instagram caption read, ‘Just smile … Kills em everytime #ItsNeverThatSerious #40.’

No doubt the stunning shots will have caught the eye of her longtime toyboy love, Miami Heat basketball star Dwyane Wade who, at 31, is 10 years her junior.

Last month stunning Gabrielle stripped off to a bikini on a day out with her 6ft 4in beau on the beach in Malibu, California.

The loved up couple were spotted hugging and playing in the ocean on a hot day. They stopped to enjoy a long, lingering kiss as they stood in the surf.

Gabrielle and Dwyane were obviously enjoying being back together after taking a brief break in their three-year relationship.

Dwyane talked about their split on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno in September.

‘Celebrity relationships are very hard. For us this was a big year for our relationship,’ Dwayne told Jay, adding that Gabrielle was gone for long periods shooting her TV drama, Being Mary Jane.

‘I was dealing with my injuries [and] trying to win a championship. So we kind of took a step back. We supported each other but we took a  step back for a little while.

‘At the end of the day, we came back together and said we want to continue this and we want to get better each day.’
