Jessica Simpson & Nick Lachey Confront Breakup Talk

Jessica Simpson and husband Nick Lachey spoke with About.com at ‘The Dukes of Hazzard’ Los Angeles Premiere, where they both addressed the continued speculation over their marriage fueled by tabloid breakup reports.

“At the end of the day we’re madly in love and people will see that through the tabloids hopefully,” Simpson said. “It’s going to be something new every week – another fabricated story. But if you really read all the stories, it’s the same thing every week. Find something new!” Lachey added, “It’s like, ‘Surely this is going to be the last one… This will be the last one.’ And they just keep putting them out. But I guess in some strange, twisted way it’s a form of flattery in that people are interested in what’s going on with us. But it is frustrating.”

Nick Lachey & Jessica Simpson Sound Happy With Each Other

August 1, 2005 – The New York Daily News’ Jo Piazza, who hadn’t seen Nick Lachey since spying him in Jacksonville inviting a sexy blond back to his hotel on Super Bowl weekend, was cordial with the reporter. Lachey told her, “All I have to say is: Jessica Simpson is the most beautiful woman on the planet!” And Simpson added that ever since their ‘Newlyweds’ MTV reality show ended, “We have never been happier.”
