Controversies and Legal Matters

Following the divorce, Funches accused actress Gabrielle Union—whom Wade began dating in 2007 and later married—as being a contributing factor to the breakdown of her marriage. While Funches filed a civil lawsuit against Union for alleged interference in her marriage, the case was dismissed, and no verifiable evidence of wrongdoing was presented.
