Nick Lachey, who co-hosts Netflix’s The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On with his second wife, Vanessa Lachey, made a rare comment about his 2006 divorce from Jessica Simpson during the show’s latest season.
Reflecting on his own experience, Nick acknowledged the “scars” from his divorce while empathizing with a cast member facing relationship challenges.
Nick and Simpson’s marriage, which began in 2002, ended after a tumultuous relationship, and Nick later released a song, “What’s Left of Me,” about the breakup.
Vanessa, who had previously issued an ultimatum to Nick during their relationship, shared how she reflected on her own actions and communication struggles before they ultimately married.
Nick advised the group not to let past experiences define their future relationships.
The couple’s comments coincide with rumors about Simpson’s current marriage to Eric Johnson, sparked by a cryptic Instagram post she made about her personal journey and new music.
