Nick and Jessica Split

November 23, 2005

After more than a year of break-up rumors, "Newlyweds" JESSICA SIMPSON and NICK LACHEY have officially decided to call it quits, ET has confirmed.

"After three years of marriage, and careful thought and consideration, we have decided to part ways," the couple said in a statement Wednesday. "This is the mutual decision of two people with an enormous amount of respect and admiration for each other. We hope that you respect our privacy during this difficult time."

Back in October, rumors of a split started to swirl when Jessica arrived solo (and without her wedding ring) to her sister ASHLEE's 21st birthday in Las Vegas and Nick, who was scheduled to be there, was a no-show. Nick and Jessica were also reportedly apart for two more special dates: their 3rd wedding anniversary on October 26 and Nick's 32nd birthday on November 9.

It was just this fall, while talking about her new body care collection "Sweet Kisses," Jessica spoke with ET, offering marriage advice. "I think you have to always remember, and he has to remember, that you do need a compromise, even though it's hard," she said.

She admitted though, that sometimes strong personalities can get in the way of marital negotiations. "There's people with pride involved," she says. "You have to back down sometime -- just a little bit."

The couple married in Austin, TX, in front of 350 guests in an hour-long Baptist ceremony. Jessica wore a strapless VERA WANG gown and Nick sang "My Everything," a song he wrote just for his bride.




DAMN.
but they looked so adorable together

[nopattern]

I don't know why, but it always makes me sad when Hollywood couples split up.

[shortiiex]

awww...they weree so adorable
to me this is worse than Brad and Jen

[BrokenDream]

I heard about it! it's all very sad too. I heard she was also crushing on an older guy from the Dukes Of Hazzard. o___O

[ANG33ZY]

omg. .

i hear there's a rumor that she's pregnant.. um yeah.

[Gigi]

Agh. Can't say I didn't see that coming, but I'm still sorta shaken.

[*Funkadelic.Kiss*]

aww. thats too bad.
so who do you think they are going to date next...

[xmkaex]

aww
i thought they were perfect for each other...

[hi-C]

It was bound to happen. No couple can stand that much scrutiny from the media without it taking a devastating toll on their relationship.

[Chii]

finally, i knew that they couldn't make it, she's such an airhead. but anyway, look what good saving yourself for marriage does.

but hey, her dad can whore his daughter for more media coverage and make even more money than he does now with his daughters...he's so gross, he was actually quoted in saying something along the lines of "she's got double d's you can't hide those suckers." that's so gross

i am in such a bitter, b*tchy mood now...

[JlIaTMK]

Celebrity couples.

American couples.

What more do you expect?

[xangelkissesx]

Thats so sad They did make a really cute couple.

[MeLoNiSyUmMy]

yea, i know. i read it last nigt on yahoo.

[*xcaitlinx*]

She didn't deserve him anyway.

[WHOngos144]

ugh they looked so cute together

[Saeglopur]

Gah people have problems. Betting on how long relationship will last.... I think I'll bet how long each of your lives last. -evil laugh-

</random>

It's kind of sad to see them apart.

[Aoiro]

You could tell it was going to be over, but this is sad...
They were so happy before.
Other cute couple besides Brad and Jen.

[heyyfrankie]

i'm effing pissed.

>:[[[

[Ington]

This has reformed my entire life.

[/sarcasm]

Honestly, how the f**k does this affect anyone? Why do people care?
Sigh, I'll never understand.

[*jooleeah*]

That's kind of sad. =( I thought that they were the ones that were really going to make it together.

Then again, I don't really care that much.

[nptsprtz15]

thats really sad..i thot they were nvr gon split

[technicolour]

This has reformed my entire life.

Ahemn.


Whoop. De. Do da. Their life. Not mine. Yesh

[*not_your_average*]

Dandy.

[NoSex]

It would have all been funnier given that they were both hit by a mac truck.

[Jeng]

ya i just saw that on the comcast homepage.i was like...SO WEIRD because they looked perfect together.

[PreludeTears]

I bet you that they will get back together, Im sorry for the true fane of these two but i think its for attention, kinna like Britney who is doing whatever just to get attention since they arent heard for a while and theyd on't want to die off.. then again I can be wrong.

[NoSex]

I bet you that they will get back together, Im sorry for the true fane of these two but i think its for attention

If they both got hit by a mac truck, I think that would get my attention.

what is britney doing for attention? she had a baby for attention?

[PreludeTears]

what is britney doing for attention? she had a baby for attention?

Nope there was a article were it said she wanted to do it Paris style and be all like
"oh no someone toook my sex video so if anyone see's it... oh no!"
Come one no one had heard about it so why mention it? It sounded like she was encouraging people to go look for it.

what...? what is britney encouraging people to look for...? tabloids were already saying she was pregnant before she admitted it.



{edit because i don't want to over post in this thread}
i agree, brad pitt and jennifer aniston were the couple that everyone wanted to stay together. they looked so great together

[Teesa]

Awww...

[Ington]

If they both got hit by a mac truck, I think that would get my attention.

You know what. I think I like you.

[Teesa]

*sigh*, you guyyyys, if you don't care about it, don't post in it.

[Ington]

Aw, Teesa, we care! But we just care in a different way.

You guys care about them directly, but the rest of us care about their effect on the media and society.

Which is why they should be hit by a Mac truck, like Nate said.

PS: I love Teesa.

[HappyHeart]

I just heard today. I don't get why the papparazi wants them to break up so much! They're prefect for each other!

[Ington]

^ How do you know that?

[mocassinsx29]

Boohoo, for some reason I hate them both. :P

[*incoherent*]

she could come marry me.

i knew it was bound to happen since they called off the marriage the first go around.

[*mzkandi*]

Awww well that sucks even though its not too surprising.

[5ayuri]

aww.
I liked that couple.

[xTINAA]

awww...they weree so adorable
to me this is worse than Brad and Jen

WHAT?! Worse than Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston? YOU MUST BE KIDDING. They were the golden couple. That was way worse.

I figured they would break up at some point. Why? Because of all the publicity they had in the first few years of marriage. That is the time when it's really important for them to get to know each other even better as a couple and learn to be married and I think it must have been hard for them to do things like that with cameras around everywhere. Not a smart idea. Still, it's sad to hear.

[Teesa]

^I know, Jennifer and Brad were the couple. Aw, well.

I love Ariel more.

[silver-rain]

Oh well, too bad. It was bound to happen sooner or later.

[kykip]

Yea...they split...but oh well...Barbie and Ken split up so it was bound for the real Barbie and Ken to do the same. Barbie did all the work...made all the money...had the most publicity. Ken was just not flashy enough for Barbie. She had to let him go. So Ken is making a comeback to get his woman...changed his look...maybe Nick will do the same.

[_sarcastic_]

awww they looked so good together

[iheartjohn]

Aw. That's too bad.

[*Retro_Love*]

They were such a cute couple...You knew that they were going to do it sooner or later because there have been rumors that they were going to split up before this happened

[KissMe2408]

In ways i've always thought that they would split, but it's kinda sad that it is really happening. I remember watching their show "newlyweds", my mom used to watch it too, and she'd always say, <"why are they married? they don't seem like they care for each other that much." So i guess she'll be happy to hear about this?

[RHyse]

I am surprised the marriage lasted 3 years, I never understood how nick could handle jessica parents they seemed so obnoxious on the newlyweds show.. hopefully everyone can move on with their lives...

[heyyfrankie]

This has reformed my entire life.

[/sarcasm]

Honestly, how the f**k does this affect anyone? Why do people care?
Sigh, I'll never understand.

i just throught that they were actually going to stay together. *shrug* ;/

[oneandonlytammie]

I say good riddance! Celebrity couples get to much attention! Serves them right.

[theflashxmwc]

uh oh...look out

[MeLoNiSyUmMy]

i cant see nick with another girl or jessica with another guy

[Rachel]

In ways i've always thought that they would split, but it's kinda sad that it is really happening. I remember watching their show "newlyweds", my mom used to watch it too, and she'd always say, <"why are they married? they don't seem like they care for each other that much." So i guess she'll be happy to hear about this?

MMM, agreed. When watching the show, they don't really act like they loved eachother.

But anyways, I don't really care. Brad and Jennifer was much more interesting and shocking.

[meleonade]

not surprised...hollywood couples never last forever

[CUTEBUNNY160]

It would have all been funnier given that they were both hit by a mac truck.

lol thats mean lol
anyway i think jen and brad's split up was worse

[ceara cecilyrose]

I didn't think they'd last. Why? Well, they really didn't seem that affectionate on Newlyweds (as some people have already said) plus, they were just always sniping at each other! Even early on, I found it frustrating to watch them because they were ALWAYS having conflicts :P
Any marriage is going to have some conflict, but I didn't see how they ever wound up together because they conflicted that much it seemd, that they were just too different to each other.

I was more shocked when tom and nichol broke up. Their marriage lasted for quite a while (although how is beyond me, considering that Tom seems like a bit of a nutcase to me...)

[misoshiru]

ohno :(

i liked them together.

[mouse_3k]

i gave up on them a while ago. I could care less what happened wit the couple now. I knew they were gon split NE wayz. no suprise

[Mr. Slowjamz]

aww .....they seemed like a really cute couple out of all of ther other celebrity couples ....but sigh who cares i really dont give right now lol .

[miss barnes]

about time..he can do better lol

[*nightmare4taki*]

Jessica, Call me!!!

[shortiiex]

WHAT?! Worse than Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston? YOU MUST BE KIDDING. They were the golden couple. That was way worse.

i think brad and jen just looked golden
but nick and jessica were like the two perfect cute teddy bears that you can't rip apart

[Looow]

I saw that on TRL.

I was really disappointed

[steezahh]

awww...they weree so adorable
to me this is worse than Brad and Jen

yeah true. this is sad.. they were cute together.

[Chii]

i hope i don't jinx it, but at least Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe are still together. they've been together since 1999

[simx]

kinda sad.. but I expected it

[hi-C]

^ I think everyone kinda expected it.

i hope i don't jinx it, but at least Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe are still together. they've been together since 1999

The first five years of marriage are always the hardest and seeing as how Reese and Ryan have been together for over five years increases their chances for staying together for the long run, which is great; I really like them as a couple

[Retrogressive]

That's kind of depressing. I like Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey they were just so sweet together. I hope they can get back together and be happy.

[MiiSZ_P3NGUiiN_x...]

they broke my heart

[xObAbYeGuRLxO]

its honestly not suprising...
you kind of saw it coming..
it sucks for them ill admit..
but what can ya do right?
I was really pissed when sophia and chad broke up.
they were the best couple (besides jess and nick)

[bebemomma]

I love it ... Nick gets half of all her earnings ... profits from the movie, from the music, from her beauty line ... HA! lmfao

Seriously though, I think it's for the best. Nick seems like he really wants to settle down, have some kids and whatnot. Jess is too into herself right now, and that never works for a marriage.

[MeLoNiSyUmMy]

Funny.

I just saw on Star magazine that Jessica is pregnant.

its probably not true. but if it is, then thats funny.

I love it ... Nick gets half of all her earnings ... profits from the movie, from the music, from her beauty line ... HA!  lmfao

haha, that pretty much sucks for her.

[hi-C]

He deserves it. I'm surprised he could put up with her nonsense for so long.
