Nick Lachey Won’t Blame Papa Joe For Marriage Split

So what ultimately caused Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson to split? Choking back tears, Nick revealed to Rolling Stone Contributing Editor Allison Glock their marriage slowly fell apart, frayed by ‘Newlyweds’, career pressure and an overbearing family. But Nick stops short of blaming Jessica’s dad, Joe. “He doesn’t blame anyone in fact,” Glock told ‘Extra’. “But I don’t think that anyone from the outside can deny that Joe was a contributing factor. I don’t think it’s any secret that Joe was not a huge fan of Nick’s. Nick did not confirm or deny that. He would only say that he didn’t know if Joe liked him.”
