It is no secret that “Bravolebrities,” individuals who have become famous for appearing on a Bravo reality television show, have had legal troubles over the years, specifically with their relationships and business endeavors. These public disputes provide us with more than just one-liners and memes; there are valuable family and business law lessons in almost every headline.

Weddings Should Be Fun. Prenups—Not Fun!

Kyle Cooke, an entrepreneur, and Amanda Batula are the main couple of the hit Bravo show Summer House. Cooke capitalized off the reality show platform and founded a company with products perfectly tailored to his audience: a canned cocktail drink company named Loverboy. One of the storylines in Season 6 of Summer House is Cooke and Batula arguing over whether to get a prenuptial agreement shortly before their wedding. In a talking head, Cooke states that his investors brought up a prenuptial agreement to him because of the impact a potential divorce could have on the company. Batula stated she was naïve about prenuptial agreements and was filmed Googling “prenups” two weeks before their wedding. Two weeks before a wedding is definitely too close to throw together a prenuptial agreement, so it is of no surprise that the couple did not sign one.
