Gabrielle Union Reveals She And Dwyane Wade Split The Bills 50/50

Twitter went rampant after actress Gabrielle Union shared she and her husband, retired NBA player Dwyane Wade, split their bills 50/50.

Last week, Union was interviewed on Bloomberg’s Idea Generation about her career, family dynamic and activism. 

The interviewer asked

the actress at one point during the questioning about when she felt secure concerning her career, meaning had no worries that her acting jobs would pan out without a hitch.

Union admitted

that she still struggled and opened up about the financial pressure she endured.

“I think I just have more responsibilities for my money, so I get nervous like, ‘Oh, God, that move didn’t open. What does that mean? Am I going to have enough to hold everybody up?’ And everyone’s like, ‘It’s coming. Calm down,'” Union explained. “I’m trying to find peace in the journey. Not using my anxiety and scarcity mindset to be my engine.”

The Deliver Us From Eva actress resumed, “It’s weird to say I’m head of household because in this household we split everything 50/50, but in the other households that each of us have to support, it puts this…gorilla on your back…’You better work…somebody may not eat.'”

Union’s words didn’t sit right with some Twitter users who claimed the actress, who has a $40 million net worth, was foolish for splitting bills eventually with Wade, who has a $170 million net worth.

Others didn’t appreciate that she made it seem like she was living paycheck to paycheck when she was a millionaire.

Many people claimed she was wrong for splitting the bills evenly with Wade when he got with Basketball Wives reality star Aja Metoyer and ended up having a child with her. However, that happened after he and Union broke up. Plus, people forget that Union confessed she felt entitled to cheat on her ex-husband because she paid all the bills. Union has had this independent woman mindset for a long time, so it’s no surprise she wants to split the bills 50/50. Many commended the actress for sticking with it even while having a husband wealthier than her.

Wade has four children, Zaya Wade, Zaire Wade, Xavier Zechariah Wade, Kaavia James Union Wade. He and Union share Kaavia.
