The Biggest Regret Jessica Simpson Has About Her Marriage To Nick Lachey
Even though it only aired for three seasons, "Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica" was a cultural staple in the early '00s. Following two of the world's hottest pop stars at the time, the show gave an unfiltered look into Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey's life as a couple. The reality series aired from 2003 to 2005, and quickly skyrocketed them to mainstream fame.
Despite their joint success, Simpson was still the breadwinner thanks to her multiple business ventures. To finalize the divorce, she had to pay Lachey a large sum during the splitting of assets – up to $12 million, per Radar. Even though their marriage ended in financial turmoil, Simpson admitted that she doesn't regret starring in their MTV reality series. "If anything, it was great TV. It was very real, and Nick and I actually had a lot of fun ... Ours was actually very real and very authentic because it was one of the first, Simpson told "The Real."
Due to the current reality TV landscape, Simpson, who has undergone a stunning transformation, said that she could never see herself returning to life on camera. Meanwhile, the former band frontman is still dabbling in reality television — this time, not as the star. He and his wife Vanessa Lachey are hosts of "Love Is Blind" and "The Ultimatum," two of Netflix's hit dating shows.
