Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade have talked about splitting their finances.
In May 2023, Gabrielle told Bloomberg that she and her husband, former NBA star Dwyane Wade, split everything 50/50 in their household. The internet had a lot of opinions on this, to the point that Dwyane was asked about it the following month while on the Club Shay Shay podcast.
Referring to the "think pieces going around about me as a man," the Miami Heat alum basically explained that the idea of 50/50 in their household looks a little different than what some people might assume. For instance, he said, Gabrielle pays 100 percent for her side of the family, while Dwyane pays 100 percent for his side.
The athlete clarified that he and Gabrielle come together 50/50 when it come to their life together and their daughter Kaavia, but that they also individually pick up separate things too. In other words, it's not so literal and clear-cut.
Dwyane also recalled how the 50/50 concept came about between them.
"One time when we were Miami I said something about it being 'my house that I paid for,'" he said. "My wife looked at me and said, 'You will never say that to me again when it's something that we share.' And so my wife was like, 'When we move to LA, I got half on it — you will never say my house again .... You can say it in the arena.'"
