Jessica Simpson's Career Move: The Prenup Debate with Nick Lachey That Altered Her Life Forever

Jessica Simpson has openly lamented her decision not to secure a prenuptial agreement prior to her marriage to Nick Lachey, her former spouse and fellow music icon. Their union, which lasted from 2002 until 2006, gained significant attention through the MTV reality series "Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica," broadcast from 2003 to 2005. During a 2020 episode of “The Dr. Oz Show,” Simpson disclosed that Lachey had proposed a prenup, a suggestion she initially rebuffed due to her emotional investment in their everlasting love. In her 2020 memoir, Open Book, she explored the turbulent dynamics surrounding their relationship and the lessons gleaned from it. After her split from Lachey, Simpson married former NFL star Eric Johnson in 2014, this time prioritizing a prenuptial agreement to safeguard their joint interests. Earlier this year, she announced their separation after a decade together.
