Celebrity couples who didn't sign prenups

The actors walked down the aisle in 2013 without a prenup. Though Shepard did think about it... "When we first started dating, I had more money than her, and I owned the house that I lived in, and she said to me at one point, 'Would you like a prenup?' I said, 'No, I don't want a prenup.' But I really wanted a prenup," the actor told Conan O'Brien.
