Speculation surrounding the status of Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade’s relationship has been escalating.
This is after the movie star joined a lighthearted meme challenge that invites participants to share their mental state using GIFs on Nov 21.
Responding to sports commentator Jemele Hill’s prompt, “Using a GIF of Halle Berry, where are you mentally?” Union shared a clip from Halle Berry’s 2020 Netflix Sports Drama “Bruised,” featuring Berry’s character preparing for a fight in an Octagon.
Not stopping there, the “Being Mary Jane” star also responded to another prompt, “Using a GIF of Denzel Washington, where are you mentally?” with a GIF from the 2014 stage revival of “A Raisin in the Sun.”
In this GIF, Denzel Washington’s character slams a door in the face of a white man offering money to prevent his family from moving into a middle-class white neighborhood.
While many participants joined in by posting their own GIFs, one fan took a different approach, commenting, “I see this,” and sharing a link to a video discussing the rumors surrounding Union and Wade’s relationship, hinting at an alleged impending split.
Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade, a Hollywood power couple, have faced controversies during their nine-year marriage, including criticism of their parenting choices and the decision to split expenses evenly.
In a May 8 interview on Bloomberg’s “Idea Generation,” Union mentioned their unconventional approach to financial matters, saying:
“It’s weird to say I’m head of the household ’cause, in this household, we split everything 50/50.”
This statement fueled ongoing debates among fans.
The persistent discussions have contributed to rumors circulating about a potential private split between Union and Wade.
Recent public appearances, notably Wade spending time with his son Xavier during a Los Angeles Lakers game on Nov 10, have added fuel to the speculations.
The couple, who met in 2007, has weathered various challenges, including a brief split in 2013 before reconciling and tying the knot the following year.
Their marriage has produced four children, with the youngest, Kaavia James, celebrating her fifth birthday earlier this month.
