Dwyane Wade’s Wife Gabrielle Triggered by ‘Women’s Submission’ Debate, Exhumes Controversial Claim

In 2023, Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union stirred up a debate about equal roles in a relationship. The example of their marriage and a common financial arrangement ruffled a few feathers on social media. A section of Twitterati didn’t agree with this couple’s decision to split all household bills equally. Gabrielle has drawn from that year-old frenzy again to take a sarcastic jab at one commenter.

An X user posted, “B****s rather pay all her bills than to submit to a man and pay 50/50.” Union quoted that post with strong words of her own. “Wholeup wholeup wholeup… I thought 50/50 was no bueno. And wouldn’t 50/50 be “submitting” to one another? And what precisely do we need to do to not be considered a b***h?” she wrote.

Th actress had a lot of support on her side. Many of her X followers agreed that splitting financial decisions equally also implies equal commitment and not ‘submission’ on anyone’s part, as the original commenter contradictorily said.

Many like the Bring It On star advocate for 50/50 split or even pay for themselves independently. The issue is with the ‘submission’ part.

Gab and D-Wade got people talking on gender roles in financial decisions in 2023 when they revealed they go 50/50 in all joint financial decisions. The 3x NBA champion admitted they settled on this arrangement because of a faux pas on his part.

While on Club Shay Shay in 2023, Wade told Shannon Sharpe that he dropped the line, “My house that I paid for,” in an argument with Union once. “My wife looked at me and said, ‘You will never say that to me again when it’s something that we share,'” he said.

After a celebrated career in Florida, the Miami Heat star relocated his family to Los Angeles for the comfort of his daughter, Zaya. Union stated they will pay for the home equally so Wade could never utter the phrase, “My house” again. Wade was on board with it.

He even defended their equal partnership on the podcast. “I understand what 50/50 means. 50/50 means that everything in life, you got your half and I got my half. We gon put this s**t together and try to make 100. That’s how 50/50 goes. That is not how our relationship works.” He added, “In our life, in our home, 50/50 means [we] purchase it together.”

They split everything regarding their daughter, Kaavia and pick up the tab on their own expenses. He didn’t agree with the chatter slamming Union for their arrangement. And the B-word he had for his wife was different. “She’s a boss and an independent woman in her own life.” And it’s a partnership that’s going strong.
