Dwyane Wade, the Miami Heat legend, and his wife, popular actress Gabrielle Union, have always been pretty public about their marriage.
The Being Mary Jane actress has famously went public with the concept of how she goes “50/50” on expenses with Dwyane Wade even after being married to him for more than a decade.
While this comment has sparked criticism, Gabrielle Union shares what makes her go “50/50”.

A few months ago, Gabrielle Union appeared on the Balanced Black Girl podcast where she opened up about it.
Gabrielle Union said, “I famously said, 50/50 or bust, right? And I meant that financially, spiritually and emotionally…”
The Riff Raff actress also shared why she believes in dividing everything as she added, “It’s a trauma response.
It’s never wanting to be so out of control [that] I don’t have control over what is happening to my body. ”
Gabrielle Union added, “And ’50/50’ is…I’m not going to be vulnerable enough to trust you with 100% of anything, not my heart, not my cash, not my energy.”
Over the last few years, the popular actress has been public about how she has been solely responsible for her parent and siblings both financially and emotionally.

Gabrielle Union has also shared how finance is a problem in their industry due to the irregularity of it.
Despite this, both Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union continue to work hard for the lavish lives they share with their only daughter, Kaavia Wade, away from the spotlight.
