Gabrielle Union, 47, and Dwayne Wade, 38—9 year difference

Dwayne Wade was born on January 17, 1982 in Chicago. His parents divorced when Wade was only 4 years old. Due to his mother’s drug problem, Wade had a rough childhood, but he turned into basketball. He was sidelined by NCAA for his performance in basketball and started his basketball career in 2003.Gabrielle Union, who is 10 years older than Wade, was born in Omaha, Nebraska. Her parents always taught her to be independent when she was young. When her parents divorced, they handled it well that Union fully understood them and took their attitude as a role model.

These two have been married for over 6 years, and when Dwayne was asked what the secret to their marriage was, he said that they both don’t try to get in the way of each other, letting each other be who they want to be. Wade is a professional basketball player who’s made over $200 million throughout his career, and Union is a successful actress, whose credits include hit films like Bad Boys 2, Bring it On, and a lot more else. And, apparently, Union wants them to handle their own money in the way that they see fit, without needing to ask permission from the other. We guess that’s a good strategy for a long relationship, too.
