Jennifer Hudson and her fiance David Otunga have been engaged since 2008. That is a very long time for an engagement so inquiring minds are wondering.
Interesting tidbit that I came across on a even more interesting site.
So we reached out to one of Jennifer’s FAMILY MEMBERS. They tell us, “[David] didn’t want to sign a prenup, and so they put the wedding on hold.”
Otunga is the son of a Kenyan father, Moses, and white American mother, Billie. Otunga holds a Bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Illinois and a law degree from Harvard Law School. Before being nicknamed “PUNK” on the reality show I Love New York, David worked for the Sidley Austin LLP law firm in Chicago, IL. Currently David is a WWE wrestler.
Many were surprised to see a contestant from a raunchy reality show dating an award winning actress. But Jennifer told MTV that she did not think it was fair to judge someone off of a show experience. Jennifer and Punk traveled in the same circles and were introduced by a mutual friend.
Seven months after meeting singer and actress Jennifer Hudson, David proposed marriage on Hudson’s 27th birthday. On August 10, 2009, Hudson gave birth to the couple’s first child, a boy named David Daniel Otunga, Jr .
J Hud has everything going for her right now. If their is any truth to the prenup story most people seem to be on Jennifer’s side stating that it would be wise for her to get David to sign a prenup. On one hand if you are truly marrying someone you love and you know they love you too, you are hoping you will spend the rest of your life together. But as one matures and goes through adult relationships most quickly learn that love is not forever. It can, does and will more than likely come to an end. So is a prenup a way of saying I know I’m in love right now, but just incase this ends, which it more than likely will, this is how much i’m willing to invest in that time and no more than that?
The funny thing is that when it’s the other way around and it’s a man with all of the money people are quick to say how wrong a man is for asking a woman to sign a prenup.
Jennifer said David had to prove himself and obviously he has proven himself.

So why the prenup? (Kanye Shrug)
I asked women a while ago if they would take care of a man if they could afford to. Most women said yes. My question today is. If you decide you can afford to take care of a man and choose to do so would you require that he sign a prenup? Why or Why Not?
Men, what exactly are you saying to a woman when you ask her to sign a prenup?
No comment
It’s all about the money and not about love..That’s a shame smh…
You are saying, “Mofo, this is America. I’m keeping it real. The divorce rate is 60% and your ass ain’t got no money. I do. So, sign this damn paper or walk”.
You are saying look i worked HARD for MY money &im not gone let you come snatch it up if things dont work out with us. I totally agree with the prenup rules i mean i dont think its a matter of not trusting your mate as some ppl put it, i think its a matter if securing what is RIGHTFULLY yours BEFORE the marriage began! Just my opinion
If he rally loves her it wouldn’t b a problem #earnurown
I want to cover my assets. We are being realistic over half of all marriages end in divorce and because we are in love now does not mean I will not cover all future basis..
Thats right cuz if someone offered me a prenup ill sign it!
i have more money than u an thats what your here for. SAD!!
Why does that make him a punk though? On the flip side, if a broke-ish woman refuses to sign one, does that make her a gold digger? #doublestandards
I totally agree that she should do that.. Yeah she loves him but if he/she decides they arent working anymore she should be able to keep all that’s hers… You will leave the relationship with YOURS and I will leave with MINE!
Paul McCartney is a prime example of people signing prenups. Thats a wise decision for her.
It means you’re not leaving with half or everything I worked long and hard to own. A PreNup in this case is more than fair.
Donavan punk was his nick name on new York ‘s show but I feel like people are forgetting the meaning of marriage everyone is so quick to sign divorce papers ! He should not have to sign the prenup point blank
Dont sign,she is after yr money
I’m saying you gonna leave with what you came with OKAYYYY
Exactly. And if she really wants to protect herself, she can liquidate her assets into legit companies, sell before the divorce is final and then buy back after Everythings said and done. That’s better insurance than having money in the bank. In my opinion anyway
PROTECT YOURSELF AT ALL TIMES. If a woman present me with a pre nup I don’t have a problem with it. Some ppl think if u have a pre nup u looking for things to mess up u not into the marriage no thats not the case. U into the marriage but u gotta realize that ppl can change like no other. Okay not a pre nup but lets do a contract to where if somehow we called it quits I get 20% of yours and u get 20% of mines.
Leave with wat u came with!! Boo i love you but im NOT a fool c’mon now
Thats the differenc between a bitch and a real woman, no pun intended
In the event, I cheat on you! ‘(PULL A TIGER WOODS), I don’t want you pulling an Elan on me’
prenup is the best idea to me cause you constantly got someone looking for a come up of someone elses success. Now the only thing i can see people splitting are the things they accumulated together other than that get the f*** outta here.
I wouldn’t sign one. Cause if you get me where it hurts the most. I am getting that ARSE where it hurts the most. BEST BELIEVE! I will deliver some heavy KARMA… B’ Honestly I am as faithful, loyal, loving friend to the end, sex every night, RIDE OR DIE CHICK as they come! If you feel you need a pre-nup. I am not the one for you! Til death…..
I am all for signing a prenup on both side. I have worked hard for my businesses and assets for 20 years and I want to not only protect my assets but my offspring. Believe it or not marriage is also an agreement entered into with the intent of a return of an investment JUST like business. And I like returns on my investments included the giving of my heart. You wouldn’t enter a business deal without covering all your bases would you???
I thought they were already married. But if his love is real then it shouldnt matter if he signs or not.
Hahaha… and my hubby knew this before he proposed, so he didn’t present me w a prenup!! Hey, it’s easy to make a marriage work, when you have MUCH at stake! That’s why so many throw in the towel, either they have nothing to lose anyway, or they know that ARSE is protected by a “PRENUP” Kissy, don’t you sign one!!!
I am gonna start a campaign.. DON’T SIGN A PRENUP… IT’S your security, and incentive to make it work out!
good points Janice.
I have mine, you have yours, we have “OURS” IF – BIG IF, we split, we’re splitting everything right down the middle… Of course we have a family together, so I view it a little differently!!
Its sayn I don’t trust ur bitch ASS!!!
Thanks Richard LeBlanc….
it is an argument that cuts both sides Janice…i see the merits of being protected against the high divorce rate…and the incentive to work things out if there is more riding on it…no clear cut answer.
LMBOFF @ Amber Cavanagh
TRUE. However, it’s VERY clear for me!! LOL
as it would be in your situation..:)
Why the name calling? In today’s life marriage is not a lifelong committed event anymore. Maybe it’s because life ends for most between 7-10 years. In actuality, marriage is an agreement and as such this agreement should involve contracts. It Jennifer was the one to delay the process because of the pre-nup then this would not be an issue but because of the reverse act, we have a story. Remember, he is a lawyer too.
Interesting!! You all are so funny
Well, everyone has THEIR opinion on it. Sign, don’t sign. Choice is yours- partly! Can’t be forced To sign, you also can’t force a person to walk down the isle, if you don’t.
Jennifer Get That PreNup From That Ninja… PLEASE
What I’m Saying When The Marriage Falls Apart You Won’t Be Having My MONEY… Now, That’s What I’m Saying.
If he’s good enough to have a baby with, then he’s good enough to marry and be entitled to what you have. She knew he didn’t have no money when she got with him and had a baby!! Kmt
Listen people get car insurance not expect to crash! people get health insurance not expect to get cancer! you better get a pre-nup some people work hard for their success! Nobody should have to give someone else half of their success because they said I do.
protect all, get a pre nup. Common sense. Very fair. Too bad the same approach is not practiced in child support
There should be a law that if you sign a prenup, you won’t be entitled to anything within the first 10 years of marriage. Then should you decide to divorce after that period, you need to have been separated for at least 5 years before you get a dime.
@Nicole English ~ WELL Said…
@Janvier Meansjanuaryinfrench Ward ~ We Know The Meaning Of Marriage… But, We Protecting Our ASSets…
I’m All For Pre-Nups & Will Sign One… Billionairs Only Reply…LOL
I wouldn’t either $$
When I watch Jenifer story on VH1 a while ago, I though they were already married? But I guess not maybe he gave her some reasons he cant be trusted lol Punk…. But I would make him sign it because he wouldnt be getting anything I worked hard for. Oh but doesnt he make good money himself so why does it matter? I think its fair for both of them. You came into the marrige with what you had so I feel if it doesnt workout you leave with what is urs.
I don’t agree with prenups. I would only sign one if there were certain stipulations like if my husband cheats, decides to leave the marriage for no reason, etc the agreement is null and void. I think too many cheaters get off easy with prenups and people that like them aren’t really in the marriage for the long haul.
Strictly on a business note; it makes no sense that someone should be able to get half of what YOU worked hard for just because the marriage didn’t work. Rich men/women are probably use to all kinds of people coming after their money. In a PERFECT world prenups wouldn’t even exist or be needed, but in the world we live in PROTECT YO NECK & YOUR INVESTMENTS.

Man please she worked to damn hard for money. Nobody knew who he was untill they got together love is a beautiful thing but when it goes sour the claws come out. I say this she has to protect herself and make sure that her son is ok. A wrestler career dnt last long one wrong move and its over. so if he dnt want to sign it makes u wonder is it trully love or all.about the money
If I was a woman I would sign the prenup.. But I’m going to be rich someday.. If I wasn’t I wouldn’t sign anything…

Bottonline Jennifer Hudson is a brand name. She has to protect her investments & endorsements. She has to look out for herself, child & future kids. Women give up a lot (career advancements due to pregnacy, etc) & don’t get anything bk when divorce comes. We end up w/ the kids & bills but r not compensated for all of the time missed on r jobs. She needs to protect herself, it doesn’t mean she doesn’t trust him or luv him any less. I hope she doesn’t bk down due to pressure. If a guy can do it why not a woman? Marriage is big business & is a contract under God or a judge. That’s y u have to go through the courts to get married, to make it “legally binding”.

Thats right Punk dont walk away empty handed best believe Jennifer wont.
its understandable why he refuses to sign the prenup, coz she is basically telling him “you PROBABLY are a gold digger too” .. that is just disrespect…. and why marry someone if you dont believe in being with that person forever??,, cant argue its not a trust thing coz it is,, you either dont trust your man/woman, or yourself… and if anyone knew he/she has a good partner or partner to be, they would know that If things went wrong in the future there would be a good and known sense of trust and respect to let everyone have whatever is his..
This is my money I made it and u not getting it. That is what a prenup is for right to protect ur assests.
Punk is an attorney that was on New York’s Reality Show who turned around & got with Jennifer Hudson who has lost the most important people in her life besides her beautiful baby.Y should signing a prenup for him bother him, If she loses him & her money too when she lost her mom& sis (her support) sytem. She needs to protect her assets & investments. Anybody remember “Paul MCCartney” who was really in love than made his ex~wife the highest paid divorcee in history. She wasnt married to him long & nearly wiped him out. All of his hard wrk. I don’t see anything wrong with a pre~nup hell if i married Diddy (wishful thinking) i would sign a pre~nup!!!!
She Betta run…I knew something wasn’t right about Punk.
