Justin and Hailey Bieber wasted no time taking their relationship to the next level. They got engaged a month into their relationship and walked into a courthouse to sign their marriage certificate two months after that, in September 2018. In their rush to get married, Justin and Hailey forewent a prenup agreement to determine who would get what if divorce was in their cards, Us Weekly reported. However, they originally intended to get one.
According to TMZ, Justin and Hailey asked their lawyers to draft one the day they got married. But when the lawyers told them something like that couldn’t be done the day of, the lovebirds moved on with their plans regardless. Apparently, everyone who works for Bieber had one of the busiest days of their professional lives when he decided to walk into that courthouse. “They didn’t tell anyone on their teams what was going on and his people have been frantically trying to get his business affairs and finances in order,” a source told The U.K. Sun after the wedding.
His people apparently aren’t the only ones who worry about it. Justin, whose net worth of $300 million far exceeds Hailey’s $20 million, reportedly admitted to regretting the decision in therapy sessions he sought to treat his depression. “[Justin has] brought up that he’s scared he doesn’t have a prenup,” a source told Us Weekly in 2019. Hopefully it won’t come to that, but Justin sure has a lot to lose.
