Gabrielle Union Elaborates On Splitting Finances 50/50 With Dwyane Wade

by

Gabrielle Union has elaborated on her recent comments about splitting family finances 50/50 with her husband, Dwyane Wade. In a comment on Instagram, she explained that she and the former NBA star have found their “peace.” Union previously discussed how they manage their money during an interview with Noah Callahan-Bever on his Bloomberg Originals series, Idea Generation.

“Every household is different and doing what’s best for you and yours is the key,” she wrote. “And what some don’t understand is that I’m 100% responsible for 3 other households and D has even more. The majority of those households are elderly ppl and minors. We both come from families that step up to help care for children or elderly relatives. So being able to be with someone who meets me half way and lightens my load gives me peace and support. He’s offered to cover me trust, but that’s not my ministry nor brings me peace. All that to say, I love how we recognize that there’s billions of ways to exist and you just gotta find what’s right for you that brings YOU peace. I found mine.”

As for her original comments, Union told Callahan-Bever: “I struggle with that. I think I just have more responsibilities for my money. So I get nervous like, ‘Oh my God that movie didn’t open [well]. What does that mean? Am I going to have enough to hold everybody up? And everyone’s like, ‘It’s coming. Calm down.’ I’m trying to find peace in the journey, not using my anxiety and scarcity mindset to be my engine, which is hard.”

“In this household, we split everything 50/50,” she added. “But in the other households that each of us have to support, there’s always this gorilla on your back that’s like, ‘You better work! You’re going to sleep in? Somebody might not eat.’ It’s hard. It’s hard to let that go, so I’m working on it.”

Gabrielle Union Discusses Her Finances

During the course of his NBA career, Wade earned nearly $200 million from his player salaries. Union, in addition, has starred in dozens of feature films over the years including She’s All That, 10 Things I Hate About You, and Bring It On.

Gabrielle Union & Dwyane Wade Split Bills 50/50, She Admits To Financial Security Struggles

by

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.

Gabrielle Union Gets Real About Money

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.

During a recent interview with Bloomberg, actress/activist Gabrielle Union revealed she splits the bills with her athlete husband and opened up about her anxiety about her finances. Despite being a multimillionaire and married to one of the top athletes, the  actress says she still worries the “rug can be pulled from under her.”

She was asked, “When did she first develop her first sense of [financial] security,” after working so many jobs. “I still struggle with that,” she responded.
“I have more responsibilities for my money,” she continued. “I get nervous if a movie doesn’t open, am I gonna have enough to hold everyone up?” Something she says helps with that is her and her hubby Dwyane Wade’s decision to split everything 50/50.

“Bring It On” Reportedly Filmed Fake Scenes To Hide Lack Of Diversity

by

Bring It On is a cult classic sports film. It follows the Toros, a high school cheer squad, as they battle a rival squad in the National Championships. The film is stacked with star power that is largely split along racial lines. You have the Toros, a predominantly-white squad, facing the Clovers, a predominantly Black squad. There’s even a “white people learn their lesson” ending, with the Clovers winning the championship and Kirsten Dunst, the leader of the Toros, graciously admitting defeat.

Now one of the film’s stars has revealed a shocking secret. Gabrielle Union, who played the captain of the Clovers, has alleged that the production team filmed fake scenes to falsely promote the film’s diversity.

Union Alleges She Filmed “Fake Scenes”

Union has previously claimed that the trailer for Bring It On included “fake” footage of the Clovers. However, the use of trailer-only footage is nothing new for Hollywood. but Union has now taken her allegations a step further while appearing on Bloomberg’s Idea Generation podcast. “The Clovers were only in like a third of the movie, and when they started showing it to test audiences, The Clovers tested through the roof,” Union said. However, her claims didn’t stop there. “They were like, ‘We need more with The Clovers but we can’t add it to the movie,’” Union continued. “We’re going to shoot scenes, fake scenes, that will only be in the trailer to create the illusion that it was like a 50-50 movie. But what’s interesting is, the people spoke.”

“When the people spoke, they were like OK we got to deliver on – at least fake deliver. And the rest is kind of history. It’s wild to me.” While films like Drumline would later put Black stars in the spotlight, it’s shocking (yet completely unsurprising) to see the lengths Hollywood would go to fake diversity. And yet, the film’s premise (white people stealing from Black performers) and the meta example of that also is part of the appeal for Union. “I think it’s just what the movie represents,” Union said. “Badass young Black girls who refuse to take shit and never back down. It still appeals to me to this day.”

Trailer: Gabrielle Union and Keith Powers to Star in New Netflix Film ‘The Perfect Find’

Gabrielle Union and Keith Powers are set to star in the new Netflix film The Perfect Find. The movie is set for a global release on June 23.

The film’s synopsis reads:

After a high-profile firing, Jenna’s (Gabrielle Union) fashion career comeback hits a snag when she falls for a charming, much younger coworker (Keith Powers) — who happens to be her boss’s son. As sparks fly, Jenna must decide if she’ll risk it all on a secret romance.

Joining Union and Powers in the film are Aisha Hinds, DB Woodside, Janet Hubert, Alani “La La” Anthony, and Gina Torres.

“[It] really sparked something inside of me about older women, and how we can oftentimes disappear from society, almost, in terms of people looking at us as like we are past our prime. That we carry no value, that no one sees value in a woman over 28, much less over 35, much less over 40,” Union said to Vanity Fair. “But baby, I’m thriving.”

You can see the trailer and first-look photos below.

Gabrielle Union Reacts To Twitter Speculation About Her & Dwyane Wade’s Sex Life

by

Whether they like it or not, many celebrity couples today often find the most intimate details of their lives up for debate on the internet. Earlier this weekend, a post went viral asking users to pick between three famous couples to spend an evening with – after signing an NDA, of course. The options were Megan Thee Stallion and Pardison Fontaine, Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert, and finally, Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade. The latter pair was an undeniably popular pick. However, the Bring It On starlet made it known that she and her husband may not be as freaky as everyone thinks.

“Not us,” she quote tweeted the original upload. “Y’all ’bout to be watching a lot of ‘Lakefront Bargain’ on HGTV. My back hurts just reading this,” Union added, earning her plenty of laughs. She may be 50 now, but the mother of one’s fantastic physique still has plenty of social media users lusting after her. Of course, there’s also her super handsome athlete husband.

Gabrielle Union’s Online Antics

As expected, Union’s response brought in plenty of comedic reactions. “Oh now we definitely choosing y’all,” someone wrote alongside a SpongeBob GIF. It finds the lead character and his pal Patrick Star slumped over on the couch watching TV and eating snacks. “You really said, ‘Pick somebody else!” another user chimed in. They obviously caught onto the Nebraska-born starlet’s obvious reluctance to have her sex life dissected by strangers.

“As long as we change to Food Network when ‘House Hunters International’ comes on because my blood pressure can’t take that show,” one more funny response reads. Besides entertaining fans on Twitter, the Hollywood icon also shared content on Instagram earlier this weekend, giving us a wholesome sneak peek into her Good Friday, spent with Dwyane and his daughter, Zaya Wade. Elsewhere, the couple was photographed soaking up the sun at a Miami beach together. Keep scrolling for more Twitter reactions to Gabrielle Union’s response, and let us know which of the three couples you would spend a night with in the comments.

Easter long weekend is finally upon us, and that means that plenty of celebrities are spending time with their loved ones.

Yesterday (April 7), the Bring It On actress dropped off a photo dump with her clan, making sure to let her followers know exactly what she’s grateful for this holiday season. “Making this Friday a good one🖤,” her caption reads, the Instagram carousel kicking off with a sweet hug between Union and her partner.

Following that, the 50-year-old included a current favourite quote. “Not a soul in this world can take away what destiny has your name written on,” it states. Elsewhere we see the rumoured “Black Hollywood mean girl” showing off the luscious green view surrounding her, the clip ending in a surprise appearance from her step-daughter, Zaya Wade. The young transgender icon also appears in some photos with Union, as does her father. To end the post off, she shared a video taking in the sunset via a car’s passenger seat mirror, Beyoncé’s “Love On Top” loudly blasting in the background.

Union-Wade Family Celebrates Good Friday

As Page Six reports, that’s not all the Union-Wade’s had in store for their outdoor activities this long weekend. Gabrielle and Dwyane were captured on camera by paparazzi yesterday, splashing around at a beach in Miami. The mother of one looked undeniably amazing in her tiny yellow bikini, which markedly showed off her toned abs and glowing skin. For the athlete’s part, he donned white swim trunks and a black hat, both parents adding shades to their looks to protect their eyes from the bright Florida sun.

Aside from showing gratitude for and spending time with her loved ones recently, the Nebraska native has also been showing support for the LSU Women’s Basketball team. They recently took home their first title in the program’s history, earning them all the flowers from sports fanatics across the country. Find photos from Gabrielle Union’s beautiful day at the beach with Dwyane Wade here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

LSU Women’s Basketball Team Gets Support From Gabrielle Union

by

The LSU Women’s Basketball team is having quite the year after securing their first title in the program’s history. Winning the 2023 NCAA National Championship title over Iowa has sparked controversy and praise worldwide. LSU players were not pleased when Dr. Jill Biden invited both teams to the White House, an honor usually reserved only for the winning champions. This didn’t sit well with star Angel Reese or any other members of the team. Now, actress Gabrielle Union is coming to their defense

On Wednesday, Union penned a sweet Instagram message to the predominantly Black basketball team. The Deliver Us From Eva star shared a photo of the LSU players and wrote: “Black women deserve to be celebrated, applauded, encouraged, and uplifted. For far too long, we’ve carried the weight of others on our backs, shoulders, bosoms, and heads. Now is our time to be seen in every form of the human experience, whether in loss, grief, or celebration.”

Gabrielle Union Supports LSU Ladies

Both sports fans and commentators have slammed the LSU ladies, specifically Reese, for poor sportsmanship. This was specifically due to a famous John Cena hand gesture she made on the court directed at Iowa star Caitlin Clark. However, Union, like many others, alluded to the ladies being wrongly viewed as confrontational on the court, adding: “To every Black woman who has felt misunderstood, under-appreciated, or unseen, this is your permission to be unapologetically you.”

Reese has emerged as the unofficial spokesperson and villain of the team for her honesty. Despite Dr. Biden’s apology, the 20-year-old made headlines when she said the players would not be attending the White House. LSU’s athletic department has confirmed the team will be in attendance at the White House, though it’s unclear if Reese herself will join her teammates. She’d previously shared that she’d prefer to meet former first lady Michelle Obama instead. The uproar surrounding Reese has reminded sports fans of track star Sha’Carri Richardson. Her outspokenness fueled much hate, leaving many unfond of her. Knowing the burden of such critique, Richardson has also lent her support to the LSU women’s team.

Boosie Badazz Accuses Gabrielle Union Of “Gay Bashing”

by

Boosie Badazz frequent criticism of the LGBTQ+ community found him in a long-standing feud with Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union. The rapper’s comments about Zaya Wade led to a ban on Instagram and Planet Fitness, where he filmed transphobic comments before sending them off to the ‘Gram. At the time, Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union didn’t fuel the media storm that he caused but eventually, the Bring It On actress gave Boosie a piece of her mind.

“He’s so preoccupied. It’s almost like don’t protest too much Lil Boos’…. You got a lot of dick on your mind,” she told Jemele Hill. Union and Hill then went onto further imply that Boosie hasn’t confronted his own sexuality. “It’s like, sir, is there something you want to go ahead and tell us,” she said. Boosie later fired back, claiming Dwyane Wade was also homosexual. “​​Hope you don’t think black couples look at yall like a power couple they don’t!” he tweeted. Go bang him with that dildo and wait on a script u lil white girl.”

Boosie Badazz Calls Gabrielle Union A “Hypocrite”

During Boosie Badazz’s latest appearance on Vlad TV, he went on to share a more in-depth reaction to Gabrielle Union’s comments about him. Though he acknowledged that he has no knowledge of Wade actually being gay, the rapper explained that he found her comments hypocritical, especially as an advocate for gay rights. “For her to say that, that makes her a hypocrite,” he said. “You don’t want no one to talk about what goes on in those situation but you’re saying that somebody has dick on their mind? So if you do got d*ck on your mind, you feel some type of way about that. Baby, you a hypocrite.”

At this point, Vlad interjected, describing Gabrielle Union’s comments as a form of “gay bashing” which Boosie agreed with. “You ‘gay bashing’ me,” he added with a smirk on his face. “Are you gay bashing? You’re a hypocrite… Everything I spoke to her was from the heart. We don’t look at you like a power couple, baby. I mean, not the people where I’m from.” However, Boosie explained that he “tried to be respectful” since family members personally asked him not to mention Zaya. Check the full clip above.
