Before her marriage to Miranda Pearman-Maday, Raven-Symoné wasn't taking any chances when it came to dating.
The Cosby star revealed on the Howie Mandel Does Stuffpodcast recently that while she was in the dating phase of her life, she made everyone sign an NDA.
She revealed:
“All of my relationships, especially – obviously – when I started dating, I had to get people to sign NDAs."
“It took me a while to wrap my head around it because it’s very impersonal, but someone in our position needs to do that."
When host Howie Mandel inquired as to the appropriate timing to deliver the paperwork, the Disney star replied:
“Before the naughty times come.”
They both laughed, but she confirmed:
“No, I’m serious — right before naughty time comes.”

Many people on social media agreed that having people sign an NDA was a necessary and smart move for the actor.
\u201c@PopCrave as a public figure this smart\u201d— Pop Crave (@Pop Crave) 1685570789
\u201c@cutievictoriaa @PopCrave People you 'Love' can also turn on you, unfortunately love don't always last forever. Cheaters, etc..Trust can only go so far.\u201d— Pop Crave (@Pop Crave) 1685570789
\u201c@urbanzosf @cutievictoriaa @PopCrave ^^ exactly, that\u2019s why prenups exists. was always going to get 1 before i ever get married but now that i\u2019ve learned about this lil tip, i\u2019ll be stealing this too & making people i date sign NDAs. if humans weren\u2019t so scummy in a utopian world we wouldn\u2019t be prenups & dating NDAs\u201d— Pop Crave (@Pop Crave) 1685570789
\u201c@PopCrave What's the problem? She is smart to protect her public image and her money. Also, marriage is a legal contract. People with her net worth should protect themselves\u201d— Pop Crave (@Pop Crave) 1685570789
\u201c@PopCrave Y\u2019all got a lot to say, but none of y\u2019all signing prenups???\u2049\ufe0f\n\nRaven\u2019s booked, busy and rich. If you can\u2019t trust your partner your about to marry, why expect Raven to trust a stranger\u201d— Pop Crave (@Pop Crave) 1685570789
\u201c@PopCrave i mean if i was famous i\u2019d do the same thing i don\u2019t want my hookups spreading all my info\u201d— Pop Crave (@Pop Crave) 1685570789
\u201c@PopCrave I don\u2019t blame her\u201d— Pop Crave (@Pop Crave) 1685570789
A few, however, felt the paperwork added an impersonal touch on a potential relationship.
\u201c@PopCrave What a weird thing to ask of someone you supposedly love\u201d— Pop Crave (@Pop Crave) 1685570789
\u201c@PopCrave\u201d— Pop Crave (@Pop Crave) 1685570789
\u201c@writemyessay21 @PopCrave Wow, Raven-Symon\u00e9 is really setting the bar high for trust in relationships. Its so refreshing to see someone prioritize secrecy over open communication and honesty. I can only hope to one day reach her level of superiority in my own love life.\u201d— Pop Crave (@Pop Crave) 1685570789
\u201c@PopCrave I get why celebs would think this at first but I would so PISSED if I was someone\u2019s significant other and they were like \u201cyou need to sign an NDA about our relationship\u201d I would think they didn\u2019t trust me and dump them immediately but maybe I\u2019m just too sensitive\ud83d\ude2d\u201d— Pop Crave (@Pop Crave) 1685570789
Elsewhere in the podcast, the That's So Raven star shared her now-wife signed the NDA about two months into their relationship.
She revealed she was reluctant because she felt something "different" with Pearman-Maday but knew the signing needed to transpire.
And while Pearman-Maday was a little thrown off because she, too, felt the "something different," she understood that it was necessary.
“We both were like, ‘This takes away the genuineness of it all, but we also understood that we live in Hollywood."
"She knows who she is. So she did it.”

As uncomfortable as it may have been, we're happy the NDA was signed and all worked out for the happy couple. You can never be too safe in Hollywood.
