Nick Lachey appeared to shade his ex Jessica Simpson after he claimed that marriage was always better the second time.Â
Nick Lachey Shades His Ex Jessica Simpson
Nick, for his part, was married to Jessica since they walked down the aisle in 2002. While that may have been the case, they ended up parting ways after around four years. And as part of that process, Nick then moved on with his current wife Vanessa Lachey.
And it all came to a head on the third season reunion of ‘Love is Blind’ when the hosts Nick and Vanessa spoke about marriage. That is when Nick informed contestant, Matt Bolton who had previously been married, that marriage was “always better the second time,” to which Matt replied: “Cheers, bud.”
That understandably did not sit very well with the fanbase for the following reasons. First of all, regardless of what you may think about Jessica, this was seen as a disrespectful way to comment about someone who had not been in Nick’s life for years.
As such, there was always a possibility that Jessica had changed which is why she is now happily settled with Eric Johnson. Secondly, since there have been concerns over Jessica’s recent behaviour with some fans questioning if she is healthy due to her ‘frail’ appearance, the last thing that Jessica needs is verbal attacks being directed against her.Â
With that being said, the perception towards Nick was very brutal. One person wrote: “Nick Lachey DID NOT just say ‘hey marriage is always better the second time, right?’ Oh my God.”
While another person stated: “Nick Lachey bumping fists with Matt about his first marriage to Jessica Simpson did not sit well with me. The show is not about you.”
Nick is yet to respond to this which is understandable due to the negative media scrutiny that could emerge, but it is fair to say that it is not his finest moment. So there you have it folks. What did you think about this? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
