On a recent episode of the talk show The Real, Tamar Braxton told her co-hosts Adrienne Bailon, Loni Love, Jeannie Mai and Tamera Mowry that she and her husband Vincent Herbert didn’t sign a prenup before their marriage in 2008. With Herbert's success as a record executive and Braxton’s lucrative reality TV and music careers, the couple's lack of a prenup came as a shock to many.
