Jessica Simpson's upcoming memoir Open Book promises to give perception on her inside monologue and most intimate struggles, and early previews reveal that it will include some attention-grabbing details about her divorce from Nick Lachey.
Simpson does not suppose their separation become somewhat as surprising as Lachey made it appear, and whilst promoting her memoir on Jimmy Kimmel Live, she let slip that she moved on from the 98 Degrees singer with a shocking, secret fling with his NSYNC rival Justin Timberlake.
Music lovers had an emotional year in 2002, because it introduced the tip of Justin Timberlake's relationship with Britney Spears, however noticed Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey tie the knot and overtake them as one in every of Hollywood's maximum iconic couples.
Simpson states in Open Book that it became love in the beginning sight when she met Lachey, writing, “In 1998, when I used to be 18, I met Nick Lachey of the crowd 98 Degrees at a Hollywood event. ‘Hi I’m Nick,’ he mentioned. Hello, my lifestyles. I assumed."
She believes that her strong faith and wide-eyed innocent approach to life made Nick reciprocate her feelings, and he proposed four years later. Unfortunately, their marriage lasted less than four years, and the couple divorced in 2006.
Lachey told the press upon his divorce from Simpson that he didn't see their split coming, but she wrote in Open Book that it was clear their relationship was suffering. In fact, they weren't even on speaking terms when she first expressed a desire to leave him.
“We had been together almost seven years when I told Nick, ‘I think I want a divorce.’ I later heard that he told the press he was blindsided. I don’t know how," she wrote. "At that point we were not even speaking to each other. Maybe he was just shocked that I stood up for myself. I don’t think he ever thought I would take the leap."
While selling Open Book on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Simpson revealed that in a while after divorcing Lachey, she had a very temporary fling with Justin Timberlake, whom many pop fans deemed the 98 Degrees lead singer's musical rival.
“He was out of a dating, he changed into, like, over at my house. We shared a nostalgic kiss," she admitted.
Their fling didn't last very long, however, because Timberlake ruined the moment by pulling out his phone and texting someone.
"I used to be like, ‘Okay, I am hoping that’s not, like, every other lady. Like, did I, like, stick my tongue out an excessive amount of or, you understand? But it sounds as if him and Ryan Gosling had a bet on who would kiss me first when they were 12-years-old. And so, he texted Ryan and mentioned he gained the wager."
That was a deal-breaker for Simpson, who immediately told the NSYNC singer, "Oh, ok. Um… so we don’t kiss again. That’s finished."
