“Nobody’s perfect.” Yeah, yeah, we’ve all heard that before. But today, it’s about to be proven that even idols, yes, even legends, aren’t immune to flaws. Take a 3× NBA champion, 13× All-Star, and Hall of Famer. Sounds flawless, right? Wrong. Because this story involves our very own Miami Heat legend! Well, let’s just say perfection only applies when Dwyane Wade is on the court. Off the hardwood? That’s a whole different story.
Dwyane Wade and Jenna Bush Hager could barely hold it together on Today With Jenna & Friends when Wade shared one of his most humbling athletic moments. And no, it didn’t happen on the court. While advising viewers, they came across a question from a fan who wanted to call out their partner for being too ‘scared’ to try skiing. And the Flash? He wasn’t about to judge. Instead, he backed the hesitant partner, admitting he had his own skiing disaster, courtesy of his wife, Gabrielle Union. Turns out even NBA legends aren’t built for the slopes!
“Matt, I have to agree with you here. My wife wanted me to go skiing, I did not want to do it but I did it,” Wade admitted, already setting the scene for what was clearly a disaster in the making. “When I tell you I could not stand up.” Yep, the same guy who dodged defenders and dunked on seven-footers couldn’t even stay upright on a pair of skis. “I went and got a massage and I went and got in the hot tub. I was like, this is not for me.” Wade confessed. At that point, he was like just one hot cocoa away from officially retiring from winter sports. Bush Hager was already losing it when Wade hit her with, “The way that my wife looked at me, I was like, I don’t want to ever see her look at me like that again.”
We all know that look. The one that says, this is not the man I married. Bush Hager, still laughing, had to know more. She asked to ‘describe’ it. Wade didn’t hold back. “I kept falling over and she was just looking at me with just disgrace in her face, like, you’re embarrassing me. I can’t believe you.” Man! Can you believe this guy? This man has three NBA championships, and yet, one ski trip nearly took him out. And then, the real betrayal. When Bush Hager asked if Union even knew how to ski, D-Wade looked straight-up offended. “Yes, she can! I didn’t even know! I’m like, where did you (learn)? You grew up in Nebraska!”
Imagine this Gabrielle Union, secret ski pro. Meanwhile, Wade is just trying not to eat snow. But hey, at the end of the day, these two are still couple goals. Whether it’s front row at a Heat game or face-planting on a mountain, they’re making memories and roasting each other every step of the way.
Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union split everything 50/50 in the relationship
In a May interview with Bloomberg Originals two years ago, Gabrielle Union opened up about how she and her husband, Dwyane Wade, handle their finances by keeping it strictly 50/50. “It’s weird to say I’m head of household because in this household, we split everything 50/50,” she shared. And honestly, for a Hollywood power couple, that’s not something you hear every day.
Union also admitted that with a family to support, she feels the pressure to keep working. “I have more responsibilities for my money,” she said. And we know that whether it’s movies, business ventures, or brand deals, Union always secures the bag. Balancing a thriving career, family, and, apparently, unexpected ski trips with D-Wade? That’s a different level of energy.
But to be honest, splitting bills evenly in a household where both partners are ultra-successful sounds a lot more relatable than you’d think. It’s not about who makes more. It’s about partnership, balance, and, in Union and Wade’s case, keeping things fair. And considering how rock-solid their relationship is, it looks like their 50/50 approach isn’t just about money, it’s about respect, too.
