Today, however, Simpson appears to have let bygones be bygones, admitting the pair were both "at fault in a lot of things" during their short-lived marriage. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, she continued, "He's married with three beautiful children ... He took heartbreak and made it into something beautiful."
The former love birds tied the knot in October 2002 and divorced in November 2005 after three years of marriage, most of which was captured throughout all three seasons of MTV's hit reality series Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica (via Us Weekly). Months after the divorce, Lachey was dating his current wife Vanessa who he eventually married in 2011 (via Billboard). The couple have since gone on to have three children together, Camden, Brooklyn, and Pheonix.
As The Sun reports, Simpson has also moved on and married former NFL player Eric Johnson in July 2014, with whom she shares three children, son Ace and daughters Maxwell and Birdie.
