All pre nup agreements are contracts and the terms of the contract will govern the answer here. So although I hate to throw this back in to your lap, you need to read your agreement. Many premarital agreements have a clause that provides that no community property will arise during the marriage. It means exactly what it says, that no matter how long the parties are married, there will never been any community property between the two of them. So please, read your policy.
