Union also detailed the things she ignored during her first marriage in order not to repeat that mistake. According to the book, she states: “My team and I were adamant that we have a prenup to protect myself because I got taken to the cleaners in my first marriage.”

Additionally, during an interview in 2014, she discussed their current situation and the prenup agreement. “For this marriage, the biggest difference between this and the last marriage will be a prenup,” she explained.

She explained further by mentioning: “When you have your own stuff, you don’t need to worry about anyone else’s stuff. So everyone should go into the relationship knowing, ‘I’m here for you and you’re here for me'”. Union too was adamant about signing a prenup with the 3x NBA champion because of the trauma she suffered with an ex-NFL Star.
