The Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey Divorce

In December 16, 2005, Jessica Simpson filed for divorce from husband Nick Lachey in the Los Angeles Supreme Court. The divorce was finalized in June 30, 2006 on which the financial settlement remains undisclosed in the divorce records. Today, Jessica Simpson has a movie project titled Blonde Ambition. Nick Lachey, on the other hand, has been busy with his album doing tours and concerts. He is also known to be in a relationship with Vanessa Minnillo.


Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey met in 1999 when Jessica toured with the boy band 98 Degrees, of which Nick was a member. Nick told the press that he got chills when he heard Jessica sing for the first time and said, “I am going to marry that girl one day.” The two singers became a couple then.

In 2001, Nick and Jessica decided to take a break from each other. The reason as Jessica would say is that “so she could do some growing up.” During their breakup, Jessica was able to launch her album entitled Irresistible that had songs of lost love like “When You Told Me That You Love Me.” After the September 11 incident, the couple got back and in October 2006 they decided to get married.

In the beginning of their marriage, they catapulted both of their careers by signing up with MTV’s show “Newlyweds.” The Newlyweds was a reality TV show that featured the couples’ experiences as newlyweds. The show became an instant hit because of its funny and laughable moments. Also during this time, Jessica was able to release a book entitled “I Do: Achieving Your Dream Wedding” that tells of their wedding story and some tips on how to plan your own dream wedding.

By 2004, the marriage was doing great. There were some rocky moments but Jessica and Nick remained steady. When Jessica released her album entitled “In This Skin,” she sang songs with titles “With You” and “My Way Home” which somehow reflect her relationship with Nick Lachey.

But the happy moments did not last. By December of 2005, Jessica Simpson filed for a divorce from husband Nick Lachey with whom she had been married for almost 4 years.
