Gabrielle Union let her fans have an end-of-the-year treat by sharing a very sassy video of herself showering in a bikini. The stunning actress took to her Instagram on New Years’s Eve to post the clip from her tropical vacation with her husband Dwyane Wade and their adorable four-year-old daughter, Kaavia. Showering underneath a small waterfall in a green two-piece, Gabrielle referenced lyrics from TLC’s 1994 hit “Waterfalls,” writing, “If I stuck to the rivers and lakes that I’m used to, I wouldn’t have made it this far.”

Gabrielle’s gorgeous family has been enjoying their holiday getaway, with the actress sharing special moments on her social media, including a few other bikini snaps and clips! The proud parents also posted a sweet family video the day after Christmas to wish their followers a happy holiday.

Meanwhile, Gabrielle might be getting ready to try on her Clover cheerleading uniform again. The actress, 49, recently dropped a hint at a possible sequel to the 2000 iconic teen comedy Bring It On, which featured her as Kirsten Dunst’s school rival Isis. Replying to a tweet from a fan who was celebrating the 22nd anniversary of the film, Gabrielle wrote, “Hmmmm so Isis might have a teenager #BringItOn.”

Gabrielle, who also shares Zaya, 14, with Dwyane, shot to stardom in Bring It On alongside Kirsten.  However, Gabrielle recently shared that she has some regrets about her role in the film. During a visit to Good Morning America, she expressed concerns about “muzzling” her character Isis, whom she also penned an apology letter to in her book “You Got Anything Stronger?”

In the movie, Isis learns her team’s choreography has been stolen by a rival team, which would make anyone rightfully upset, but Gabrielle said she felt she couldn’t play it that way. “Black girls aren’t allowed to be angry. Certainly not demonstratively angry, and I muzzled her,” she explained. “I had muzzled her and made her this gracious, decent leader, and I was still a villain in that movie. I did all that shape-shifting for a character, and then I realized I was doing that to myself, too. I wasn’t allowing myself the full range of my humanity.”

With that in mind, Gabrielle said she would have definitely made changes to her performance. “I would have allowed her full humanity, and part of being a full human is the ability to express rage when harmed,” she detailed. “When you don’t really allow yourself your full range of emotion and you muzzle your own emotions, it allows people to think, ‘Maybe what I did wasn’t that bad.’ I would have given her all the anger.”

Although she may have some reservations about the way she handled the original production, Gabrielle is obviously on board for a sequel. Even before her cryptic tweet, she pitched ideas for a sequel during a Zoom reunion in August 2020 with Kirsten and director Peyton Reed. “The impact, 20 years later, that this movie had and continues to have, that’s awesome,” Gabrielle said. “So whatever that we may one day come up with, I mean, Kirsten, maybe we’re like co-heads of the PTA. I don’t know.”
