Jessica Simpson reveals her thoughts on Nick Lachey.

The 40-year-old star is releasing a paperback edition of her 2020 memoir ‘Open Book’, which will feature all new diary entries from singer “I Wanna Love Yor Forever”.

In a snippet obtained by Entertainment Tonight, the star reflected on the end of her relationship with Lachey, now 47. The two were married from 2002 to 2006.
