The response sent the house into laughter with Union rolling over on the floor comically asking, “60? Who are you?”
Kaavis’s comedic response comes weeks after Union and Wade faced criticism across social media for the “Being Mary Jane” star’s interview with Bloomberg where she revealed how she and her husband split the bills in their shared household evenly.
“It’s weird to say I’m head of household because in this household we split everything 50-50,” Union said during the May 8 Bloomberg interview while also noting the other households she and her husband provide for.
She came faced public scrutiny with many on social media saying the actress should leave all the expenses to her multi-million dollar husband who has a net worth listed at $170 million since leaving the NBA.
She later clarified her reveal noting how “every household is different,” and couples should do what works best for them.
“Being able to be with someone who meets me halfway and lightens my load gives me peace and support,” she wrote in an Instagram comment reposted on Twitter.
