Gabrielle Union and Dwayne Wade may have just gotten engaged last week, but the basketball player has already fathered a love child.

'Entertainment Tonight' is reporting that the couple were in the midst of a split when Wade sowed his wild oats. We imagine it went a little something like this: "BRB, making a love child!"

Don't cry any tears for the recently engaged couple, though. The source says that they have already privately worked through the fact that an unidentified woman has recently given birth to Wade's third child, a son.

In fact, they dealt with the problem pre-engagement, which was necessary considering that Union and Wade's baby mama had been friends "for many years."

Wade also has two children (both boys) with his ex-wife Siohvaughn Funches, both of whom he has full custody of.

UPDATE: Wade has confirmed the news, saying in a statement, "I had a time, a part in our break, in our pain and our hurt, a blessing came out of it in my life, having a son that was born healthy. So I'm moving on."
