"Hi daddy. I love you so much that you are my favorite friend ever that I ever met," Kaavia said in the video. "And I also want to thank you and good luck. I love seeing you on TV. And I love you so much."

Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade no longer split their finances into 50-50

Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union have been an example regarding marriage. However, the paradise hasn't been all godly, as the couple has shared their share of trouble and a personality clash over the years. It took Union years to finally be vulnerable in her marriage to the former NBA superstar.

In the past, Gabrielle Union claimed that she and her husband split their finances and other responsibilities 50-50. In 2023, even Wade claimed during the "Club Shay Shay" podcast with Shannon Sharpe that when they decided to move to LA, Union told the former NBA player that they would split 50-50 in their next home.

However, after trying the 50-50 formula, Union told InStyle earlier this month that she had moved away from it. She also said that her drive to have the formula arose from her desire to control everything about herself and was also a "trauma response."

The Hollywood actress finds it easier to be vulnerable and be okay with being a wife to her husband.

"It’s being vulnerable enough to be open enough to know that I’m OK," Union said. "I’m OK as his wife,” she said. “He’s OK as my husband. I’m OK in this family. I’m OK in this home. I deserve it… and so, I’m trying to expand my heart, expand all of the notions of what vulnerability can look like."

Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union married in August 2014 and even signed prenups before tying the knot.
