After Shannon Sharpe, the ex-NBA athlete has now spoken out about the issue in an interview on the Club Shay Shay podcast. The online community caused a major uproar when Union decided to split the expenses, despite reports stating that Dwyane Wade’s net worth surpasses hers.
Wade says that when they lived in Miami years ago, during an argument with Union, he started talking about the house and said, “I paid for it.”
Wade reminisced, “You can utter that within the stadium!” My spouse mentioned, “I wager half of it that you will never utter ‘my abode’ again when we relocated to (Los Angeles).” “You will never express that to me again when it’s something that we both possess,” stated my spouse, gazing at me.
Aja Métoyer and Siohvaughn Funches are Wade’s ex-wives, and they have two sons, Xavier (9) and Zaire (21), as well as a daughter, Zaya (16), from previous relationships. Wade is responsible for separate family expenses, which supports the statement made by the Bring It On star in her interview. They do not split the individual family expenses equally. Additionally, Wade and his current partner have a four-year-old daughter named Kaavia, and they share the expenses for their shared house and their daughter. The former Miami Heat player further explained the details of their financial arrangement.
They have protected their finances by signing a prenup. They have also mentioned that Wade-Union likes to pay for other households, including their siblings and parents.
He stated, “You put in diligent effort for your own benefit. You have acquired wealth. You are a person of million-dollar status. I will also agree to a prenuptial agreement. I informed her in a similar manner.”
In addition to sharing details on their finances, Wade also commented on how he feels about his wife telling their business online.
He jokingly said, “If I could do anything, my wife and I wouldn’t be in all the headlines all the time.” After online fans reiterated Wade’s comment about his wife, Sharpe emphasized that it was a 50/50 situation.
The actress mentioned that she always feels anxious about the financial responsibilities she has to take care of, which caused an uproar.
“In the interview, Union mentioned, ‘I am currently working on that, so it’s challenging. Sometimes, you may feel like sleeping in, but someone might say, ‘You should put effort into your work! You should put effort into your work!’ It’s like there’s always this burden that we each have to shoulder, in the other homes where we divide everything equally,’ Union explained in the interview. ‘Because in this home, it feels strange to declare that I am the head of the household.”
It appears to be functioning well for them, and their household is their concern; ultimately, it is the essence of what married individuals do!
