Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade have long been one of Hollywood’s favourite couples. From speculating about their life in the bedroom together to praising the way they parent the athlete’s transgender daughter, Zaya, the pair has cemented their status as #CoupleGoals. Never one to shy away from being candid about her personal life, the Bring It On starlet recently sat down with Bloomberg to discuss an unusually taboo topic – money. Seeing as she and Wade have both made a name for themselves in their respective industry, it’s easy enough to assume their set for life. According to Gabrielle, however, that’s not exactly the case.
While she’s certainly gone through tremendous growth over the years, Union is open in sharing that she still deals with financial anxiety. The outlet asked her, “When did you develop your first sense of [monetary] security?” to which she answered, “I still struggle with that. I have more responsibilities for my money.” The mother of one said that there have been times when she’s stressed over whether a movie role will open or not, seeing as she has so many people to take care of outside of her own husband and kids. Thankfully, being able to split costs with Wade 50/50 has been an immense help for Gabrielle.

She’s certainly grateful for the luxurious life her star status affords her, but still, the 50-year-old knows that if she’s not working, “somebody ain’t gone eat.” Even with all the success she has in front of her, Union feels fear about the potential of the “rug [being] pulled from under her” unexpectedly, leaving her in a state of financial ruin, or unable to take care of loved ones.
Elsewhere in her discussion, Gabrielle discussed her endeavours in activism, as well as converting her career success into multimillion-dollar brands. Prior to becoming the household name we know her as now, she spent several years struggling to make it in Los Angeles. After plenty of perseverance, she proudly displays movie star, film producer, and author on her professional resume.
