Myleene Klass revealed she made her fiancé Simon Motson 'sign a contract' before he moved in with her.
The star wanted 'true clarity' as she came up with a contract that would protect her and her children's money and assets. The 45-year-old Hear'Say singer appeared on Loose Women on Friday and opened up about the realities of marriage, divorce, and having children.
She also discussed how she put her fortune in a trust to help her children - daughters Ava, 16, Hero, 12, and Apollo, four - in the future and to stop any of their potential future partners seeing them as a quick 'payday'.
Speaking of divorce and the monetary impact it has, she said: "What you're left with. You can potentially lose your house and half your earnings. You're in a no man's land not knowing what your rights are.

He was so sweet, he said 'I don't need that with you, it's fine I'll just sign anything'. I said to him ''no please go and read this. Go and look at the small print that says then I know you know what you're walking into' and if you still walk in with that...
"It's not about the romance, you can still have romance. It gives you true clarity. I know what you earn, I know what you have, I know what you're bringing. I told my daughters, 'If you get with someone you can't touch mamma's money it's in a trust', which is true. So no one can look at them and think there's a payday."
Myleene added: "This isn't about the women I also don't want my son to go into a situation where he could be taken advantage of either." She was previously married to Hear'Say's bodyguard Graham Quinn. The two tied the knot in 2011 but split after only a year of marriage.
