Gabrielle Union Admits She Felt Entitled To Cheat On First Husband Chris Howard Because She Paid All The Bills

Gabrielle Union admits to feeling entitled to cheat on her ex-husband, Chris Howard during their marriage because she paid all the bills. The actress recently was a guest on Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast show and spoke about what she described as “such a stupid relationship that should never have gotten out of the dating phase.”

“I definitely was not getting Wife of the Year Awards,” Union added. “In our first marriage, neither one of us felt like the marriage should get in the way of our dating.”

Union stated they she felt “entitled” to cheat on her first husband.

“I felt that that’s what comes, the spoils of riches,” she said. “Like my dad before me, whoever has the most gets to do whatever the hell they want, is what I thought.”

Union admitted that she was “horny for validation and having certain kinds of guys like me and want me. That made me feel like I was worthy and good and valuable and deserving.”

Union and Howard separated in 2005.

She went on to speak on her current marriage with Dwyane Wade.

“initially, it wasn’t different.” Despite the rough start, they did “inner work” to heal themselves and came back together stronger.

“We randomly came back around as more healed people and more open to understanding our complicity in some of the challenges that we created for ourselves.”

“Now we’re both free and we are free to choose ourselves and free to choose each other every day, which is a completely different sentiment.”
