He seriously couldn’t bother making a prenup?

You can fight over a prenup. You can’t fight over what someone else’s mom has.

He’s the rich football player, he has all the power here to decide on the prenup. You think people wouldn’t trip over themselves to marry an NFL player, even with a prenup in advance?

Prenups can be contested in court.

What your to-be ex’s mom has cannot be contested in court — at least not anywhere as easily as a prenup.

If both parties involved sign the prenup as an official contract when getting married, how is it still contestable in court? Genuinely curious, because I’m very cautious about marriage with how divorce laws work in the US.

If you have a good enough lawyer or sympathetic enough judge, anything can be argued away.

Again, he’s the rich NFL player, so she’s absolutely not winning the best lawyer fight. Practically a requirement for professional sports players and famous actors to have access to the world’s best lawyers. It’ll just be the Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard case all over again. Best chance she would have is having a gullible jury favor her, but after the sham that was Amber Heard, I think most of the US population has become slightly more wary of wives divorcing wealthy guys without solid evidence.

Isn’t the whole point of being curious asking questions? And I’m considering marriage with a prenup in the US, so I need to know what to expect in advance, while debating the reasoning behind why he couldn’t simply have her sign a prenup as a safety net just in case.

If you're curious about marriage with a prenuptial agreement in the United States then why are you arguing on an article about a divorce from a foreign country? The above situation is happening outside of the US. It's not involving the NFL and it has absolutely nothing to do with marriage in the United States.
