In May 2023, the ‘Bring It On’ actress set the internet ablaze when she revealed that she and her husband split everything, including bills, down the middle. During an interview with Bloomberg, she said:
“I think I just have more responsibilities for my money so I get nervous like oh God that movie didn’t open, well what does that mean? Am I going to have enough to hold everybody up and everyone’s like it’s coming, calm down. And I’m trying to find peace in the journey and not using my anxiety and scarcity mindset to be my engine, which is hard. It’s weird to say I’m head of household because in this household we split everything 50/50.”
Nearly a month later, Dwyane Wade took the time to clarify the ‘splitting everything; comments his wife made. While speaking with Shannon Sharpe on his podcast, ‘Club Shay Shay,’ Wade said:
“First of all, let’s say I have 20 to 50 responsibilities and my wife has 20 to 50 responsibilities. Now, when I say that, that means she has her mother, she has her sisters, she has her dad. So, she has a lot of things she’s responsible for. She pays 100% of that and you know what I do? I pay 100% of my life … When we were in Miami I said something about it being my house that I paid for. My wife looked at me and said you will never say that to me again when it’s something that we share. So when we moved to LA my wife was like I got half on it you will never say my house again.”

Gabrielle Union Is Letting Go Of 50/50 Concept With Husband Dwyane Wade
While recently appearing on the ‘Balanced Black Girl‘ podcast, Gabrielle Union admits she is no longer wanting to split everything 50/50 in her marriage with former NBA baller D Wade. She tells host Les Alfred:
“I famously said, ’50/50 or bust,’ right? And I meant that financially, spiritually, and emotionally. There’s just a lot of days that I have 10% and I need him to be 90%. There’s day that I don’t have sh*t and I need him to be 100%. It’s a trauma response. 50/50 is, ‘I’m not going to be vulnerable enough to trust you with 100% of anything. Not my heart, not my cash.’ When I started to really address that, I was like, ‘Do you want to pay the whole mortgage?’ I thought I was about to die. I had such anxiety. I was crying. I was shaking. And he was like, ‘You insisted on that.’ He’s like, ‘I thought it made you feel better.’ I’m like, ‘It did, and right now I want to take it back.'”
Union continues to explain her revelation of letting go of wanting to split everything with Wade. She says:
“Now, it sounds crazy to be like, ‘You — Mr. NBA Superstar, who made a bazillion more amount of money than I do — can pay the mortgage.’ Because I hate the feeling of releasing that to someone. And [when] you release that to someone, chaos can happen. It’s brought us closer. Because he knows it’s not about whether he can afford it. It’s being vulnerable enough, to be open enough to know that I’m okay. I’m okay as his wife. He’s okay as my husband. I’m okay in this family. I’m okay in this home. I deserve it. And so, I’m trying to expand my heart, expand all of the notions of what vulnerability can look like.”
