For the past week or so, Union and Wade have been trending after the actress spoke with Bloomberg about her personal finances and how she and her NBA baller husband go 50/50 in their household.
Union admitted, “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 everyones like it’s coming calm down.”
She added, “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.”

Taking to her show, ‘The Grio with Eboni K Williams,’ the lawyer and journalist spoke with another Grio contributor, Monique Judge, who said she’s “not giving a man [her] money.”
Williams agreed and said, “Well, I think you know how I feel about it. I think for me, this is generational, right? I think [we should] set some foundational points.”
Williams continued, “I know I was raised by a single Black mother that said exactly what you just said, Monique. You know, we don’t supplement men in this house, period. And at that point, when we’re going to be going 50/50, it’s almost like a roommate situation. Well, at that point, Monique, I might as well be married to you and share a household with you. So, that’s my perspective.”
Williams then added, “I think this younger generation, I think they do feel differently. I think that they do tend to feel more eco-tarian. And I think too that Dwyane Wade may be younger. We have to remember that there is an age gap between Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade. So, I think that these younger men have a very difficult time with these traditional notions of them being head of household, and that translating to them taking care of the bills.”
Roland Martin Slams Eboni K. Williams’ Comments About Gabrielle Union & Dwyane Wade Splitting Bills: ‘Which One Actually Has A Husband? Next!’
Taking to Hollywood Unlocked‘s comment section on the previous post, Roland Martin slammed Williams and Judge and said, “This is BEYOND STUPID. Has NOTHING to do with traditional norms. Hell, there is a lot that isn’t traditional. So some wanna holla, ‘I’m an independent Black woman,’ but then want to fall back to this traditional crap. And out of these three, which one actually has a husband? NEXT!”
