In the early 2000s, Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson seemed like they’d be together forever. The pair shared what appeared to be a storybook romance. They looked like Ken and Barbie, and we couldn’t wait for them to have perfect-looking babies. But, sadly, life isn’t always what is seems on TV. Nick and Jessica laughed and loved during their stint as Newlyweds on MTV, but ultimately their relationship ended. The pair married in October 2022 and divorced less than four years later, in June 2006. Both ultimately found love and married again, but Nick claims he still carries scars from their divorce.

Nick Lachey Recently Reflected On His Divorce From Jessica Simpson
Though the pair rarely discuss their relationship, Nick, who hosts The Ultimatum, mentioned it on the show. According to E! News, while speaking to a contestant, he brought up his past. “I, too, was previously married, divorced,” he said. “So I understand the hurt, the scars that exist from that.”
Even though Nick Lachey’s marriage to Jessica Simpson didn’t last, he found love with Vanessa Minnello whom he married in 2011. The pair share sons Camden and Phoenix and daughter Brooklyn.
Jessica also found love after her marriage to Nick. She married football player Eric Johnson in 2014, and the pair share daughters Maxwell and Birdie and son Ace.
Nick shared a few more words of wisdom on The Ultimatum. He knows from experience that sometimes you have to say goodbye.
“Don’t let your past define your future,” Nick said. “What I truly always wanted in my life, which was to have a beautiful marriage and a beautiful family, if I hadn’t retained my belief in that, I wouldn’t have ever realized the beautiful life I have with this woman.”
