Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey, America’s golden – if a little dim – newlyweds, have announced that they are to split up. Wow, we didn’t see that one coming.
Oh, who are we kidding? It’s just about the least surprising news you’re ever going to read. Still, at least there’s scope for a new reality TV series in all of this: Nick And Jessica – The Petty Bitter Divorcees.
It was always going to be a matter of time before Nick Lachey and
Jessica Simpson (DVDs) officially split up: rumours have been circulating all
year about trouble in their cosy little newlywedded paradise. Earlier
in the year, it was rumoured that Jessica Simpson had done the boinky-boink with pretty much the entire cast of Jackass,
while Nick Lachey had apparent indiscretions of his own. But at the time, Jessica’s
Dad Joe said that they wouldn’t split, and minor imperfections were just part of a happy marriage:
"Do they fight? Hell yes, they fight. Have there been moments when Nick
has wanted to leave Jessica or Jess has wanted to leave Nick?
Absolutely. Same with me and my wife. If
fighting is a sign of divorce, then we’re all going to get divorced. My
wife and I have been married 27 years. We’ve been at the edge of
divorce for 26 of them."
And then last month US Weekly magazine yelled out the word "SPLIT!"
from it’s front cover – something that Nick and Jessica quickly denied.
There was no split, they were as happy as could be, and they didn’t care who they told.
But 50 days and one resigned publicist later, and everything has changed – the split became terrifyingly official. Nick and Jessica put out this statement yesterday:
"After three years of marriage, and careful thought and consideration,
we have decided to part ways. This is the mutual
decision of two people with an enormous amount of respect and
admiration for each other. We hope that you respect our privacy during
this difficult time."
So it’s really over. But don’t be sad. Jessica Simpson still has her film career, her giant orange jaw and her tits. And Nick? Well, Nick has… um…

Nick and Jessica got way to jealous of each other towards the end of their crashing marriage. Everyone keeps blaming it on one or the other, but I think it was both of them. A marriage consists of 2 people, and both of them should have tried to save it. Nick probably didn’t like the fact that jessica got so ‘hot’ from her movie and all the rumors were spreading about her and the cast. Jessica was probably scared that Nick would leave her from all the rumors being told. But all of this comes from honesty and trust, and it seems like they didn’t really have any in the end. They were a really cute couple, and its such a sad thing to see them come to an end. Maybe this split will bring them back together, but who knows. All I have to say is Best of Luck to Nick and Jessica!! Great things will come to both of you!
Nick, I think being a little older was more mature than Jessica. He was ready for a real marriage, in the way he that his parents had. He wanted to be down to earth and did not want to splurge. He seemed to be a “normal” person that just wanted to the ness things in life. $2500.00 panties is just TOO much for him! Jess had parties for him but I am sure he would have rather had a nice quiet night with just him and her. He was not show- offish and did not need that life.
Are you insane???? PEOPLE split up after three years or less ….especially if they have lots and lots of money and lots and lots of time…aka no kids….I’ve considered it several times….5 years, but ????
