Nick Lachey’s Ups and Downs Through the Years: Jessica Simpson Divorce, Legal Trouble and More

Posted March 23, 2023 by: Admin #News

Nick Lachey has been in the public eye for over two decades, experiencing both career highs and lows and personal ups and downs. He first gained fame as a member of the boy band 98 Degrees in the 90s and rose even further to fame after marrying Jessica Simpson in 2002. However, their marriage soon began to crumble, and Simpson filed for divorce in 2005.

In an interview with Rolling Stone a year later, Lachey revealed that he was blindsided by Simpson’s announcement that she wanted a divorce while they were in a limo after the American Music Awards. Lachey channeled his emotions into his music, releasing the hit single “What’s Left of Me” in 2006, which he penned after his split from Simpson. The emotional track was followed by an album of the same name later that year.

Lachey moved on from his past and met his now-wife, Vanessa Lachey, on the set of the “What’s Left of Me” video. The couple tied the knot in 2011 and went on to have three children together. They continued to achieve success in their separate and joint reality TV ventures, co-hosting Netflix’s “Love Is Blind” and Nick winning season 5 of “The Masked Singer” in 2021.

However, in March 2022, Lachey found himself in legal trouble after an altercation with a celebrity photographer. Lachey tweeted that he overreacted to the paparazzi’s harassment as he walked back to his hotel with his wife and a friend. He acknowledged that their antics were part of the game and that his reaction was stupid.

According to the photographer, Jody Santos, Lachey became aggressive when she snapped pictures of him and Vanessa outside a restaurant in Beverly Hills. She alleged that he attempted to grab her phone from her car window, which she rolled up. Santos claimed that Lachey punched the glass so hard that she thought he was going to break his hand.

The Los Angeles District Attorney’s office clarified that Lachey is participating in their Prefiling Diversion program as a result of the incident. He must attend anger management classes and Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, and successful completion of the program will result in no criminal charges being filed.
