Dwyane Wade seems to have hit the jackpot with Gabrielle Union! In today’s world, it is incredibly tough to find your ideal partner. What is even rarer is to find a partner who is also an ideal business partner. Dwyane Wade and his wife Gabrielle Union-Wade are one such rare couple who continue to inspire others to be better. Their recent success with their baby skin care brand “PROUDLY” is the perfect example for those who think that couples cannot work hand in hand in a professional capacity.

Recently, on social media, the 3x NBA champion flaunted an adorable picture with his wife at a recent event.

As the crowd erupted in laughter, the Miami Heat legend further explained, “It’s about the need. I did not want to work with my wife in this capacity. Her email…listen, she be on me. “Did you look at this email?”, “Did you return this email?”…we got different processes but…”.

The host then added to the hilarious rant as he asks his next question, “What’s the division of labour between you two? What strengths do you lean into as entrepreneurs?”.

As Dwyane Wade continued to laugh, Gabrielle Union-Wade replies, “Inquiring minds would like to know.”. She clarifies to the audience, “Listen, I believe in a schedule. I believe in a checklist. I believe in efficiency. I don’t believe in going around the block to go next door. I’m going just go next door.
