Kelly and Johnson signed a prenuptial agreement stating that if they divorced, Kelly would receive nothing—Johnson's assets at the time were estimated to be $100 million USD.
This may have been the reason Magic Johnson chose to marry her: she was a traditional woman who quietly gave without demands, able to accept everything about Johnson.
Johnson once said that sometimes he envied Ah Gan, envied Ah Gan's stable and loyal marriage.
The playboy even wondered if the reason the Lakers kept losing to the Trail Blazers, as compared to Ah Gan, was because he lacked a virtuous partner.
The wedding date was set for September 14th. Four days before the wedding, the couple visited Johnson's private doctor, Tom Jamison, for premarital counseling.
Jamison asked if they wanted to do blood chemistry tests to check for any infectious diseases. Johnson appeared indifferent, and in the end, they did not proceed with the tests.
