Can playful banter and acceptance of quirks truly sustain a marriage like Union and Wade's?

“10 toes down, 10 years in, forever to go,” Gabrielle Union penned as she and Dwyane Wade celebrated 10 years of marriage in one of the most heartwarming ceremonies in August. Admission to challenges in their relationship? Not missed. But little annoyances, a bit of leg-pulling, and a fair share of devotion have really come to define their relationship. But if we are counting the nuances, Wade may have indirectly revealed one.

Now Gabrielle Union loves her food. “My dream food is all food… I just really like food,” she had told Women’s Health. Even if she is on a diet, she is all about balancing it out and not denying herself the treats. “If I want cupcakes, cookies, or a short stack, I don’t deny myself. And I certainly don’t deny myself bacon!” she admitted to Fitness Magazine. She also admitted to having to eat every few hours because she can’t function otherwise.

And for the foodie in the Bring It Actress, there seems to be a baker in the house to match the freak.

The three-time NBA champion appeared for an interview with Revolve on Friday. Opening up about his life, Wade was given three rumors to debunk. Buying Pizza for everyone on a flight, owning an Island, and being a secret chef who loves “to cook for Gab.” While Wade dismissed the first one, and loved the idea of the second, for the third, he admitted, “I’m a secret baker. I throw cookies in the oven, incredible baker.

So we know Gab’s sweet tooth isn’t going unanswered!

Married in 2014, the couple has been open about its challenges. But they have mostly been about being comfortable around the other. Union’s remark, “We’re not posting farts. And we should because that’s what so much of married life is,” was one example of it. “Farts, movies and debating the ending of Presumed Innocent,” she had added during their anniversary celebration. Maybe they can add baking to it the list now.

But that is not to say they don’t recognize each other’s annoying habits.

Little annoyances haven’t eluded Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union

As mentioned before, Wade and Union recently celebrated their 10th anniversary. However, even after being together for all theses years, they give each other a tick and Gab isn’t shying away from sharing Wade’s.

During an episode of the ‘Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard’ podcast, Union shared the habit that fans couldn’t have anticipated. “My husband’s a throat clearer. And I don’t know why, it incites a level of rage in me every f—ing time… He’s like (Ahem-Ahem)…And I’m like, ‘there’s nothing in there’. It’s just like a tick,” Union said during the podcast. However, the list doesn’t end here. There are other habits of Dwyane Wade that she doesn’t like – from leaving the toothpaste cap open to his sweatpants-heavy fashion, the list continues.

However, despite the occasional annoyance, Union made it clear that she loves Wade unconditionally and that their playful banter is a vital part of their relationship. “Through sickness and health, crisis and celebrations, through bad golf days and flubbed lines and new adventures—We stand united and we thrive,” wrote Union on her 10th anniversary Instagram post. Even the most perfect couples have the odd little quirk.
