<p>Two months into dating <strong>Miranda</strong>, <strong>Raven-Symoné</strong> faced a <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/the-cdc-no-longer-recommendations-social-distancing-and-quarantine-for-covid-19-update/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">touchy recommendation</a> from her mother and team. They wanted Raven to make her now-wife sign a contract&#8211;more specifically, a non-disclosure agreement (NDA).</p>
<p>The practice wasn&#8217;t uncommon to Raven or her dating life. In May, we learned the Disney Channel icon regularly requested that her partners, especially sexual ones, <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/raven-symone-relationship-ndas/amp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sign a contract</a>. Oftentimes, she kept the paperwork on her nightstand, the 37-year-old said on the <em>Howie Mandel Does Stuff </em>podcast. Raven-Symone also claimed she&#8217;s kept every NDA ever signed, including her wife&#8217;s.</p>

<p>But despite obtaining Miranda&#8217;s signature, Raven-Symoné now tells <em>PEOPLE </em>it&#8217;s <a href="https://people.com/raven-symone-wife-miranda-fought-against-signing-nda-2-months-into-relationship-exclusive-7553043" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a decision</a> she regrets.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;It changes the dynamic of a relationship from the very start,&#8221; Raven said. &#8220;But I knew something was different with Miranda. I tried&#8211;I fought it hard.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<p>According to her appearance on <em>Howie Mandel Does Stuff, </em>Raven&#8217;s mother was a cheerleader for putting Miranda under contract. Back then, Raven-Symoné and Miranda were only together for about two months.</p>
<p>For Raven, the request was &#8220;very difficult,&#8221; but despite fighting against her team &#8220;multiple times,&#8221; she ultimately did as they asked.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;At the time, the people in charge of my career felt it was important. They would search online and see everybody&#8217;s personal business out there&#8212;they didn&#8217;t want that for me,&#8221; Raven said. &#8220;I guess y&#8217;all didn&#8217;t know my business back then, so thank God. But you do now!&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Raven-Symoné&#8217;s Wife Also Pushed Against Signing An NDA</h3>
<p>And Raven-Symoné wasn&#8217;t the only person against the non-disclosure agreement. Miranda tells <em>PEOPLE </em>she also tried to avoid putting pen to paper.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I was kind of like, &#8216;No, I&#8217;m not gonna sign that. That&#8217;s crazy.&#8217; I didn&#8217;t like doing it,&#8221; Miranda said.</p></blockquote>
<p>But their connection proved to be stronger than signing into silence. Months before <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/tiger-woods-ex-girlfriend-erica-herman-sexual-harassment/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the paperwork</a> arrived, Miranda and Raven met at a Los Angeles karaoke bar, per <em>PEOPLE. </em>Raven approached Miranda, and two days later, they had a first date that lasted at least eight hours. They enjoyed iced tea and good conversation that saw them sitting in a car from daylight to 10 at night.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I went to a birthday party with her after,&#8221; Miranda revealed. &#8220;It was one of those things where you didn&#8217;t want the person to ever leave.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Raven added:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;As good lesbians do, we never did.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
