Nick wouldn't call Kim his 'ex'
It was during Lachey's appearance on 'Watch What Happens Live' in October 2019 that his relationship with Kim was brought up by a fan, who referred to her as his "ex" and asked if the actor received any reaction to him dressing as then married couple Kris Humphries and Kim when he co-hosted 'Live with Kelly Ripa' for 2011 Halloween.
However, Lachey provided clarification on their rumored romance. He said, "To say that she's my ex is a little bit of a liberal use of the term. We went on one date together, but no, I never did hear from Kim on that one"
"We went and saw Da Vinci Code together... She left about halfway through and went to the restroom, and then shockingly, there were 25 paparazzi when we left the theaters. I think there were other things in play on our little rendezvous," he added further.
Simpson is happy for her former husband
Even though Simpon has detailed the pain she endured when she and Lachey divorced, the actor is happy that she and he are both in a better and happy place in their respective lives. She has written, "We both were at fault in a lot of things, but I'm happy for him now. He's married with three beautiful children. He took heartbreak and made it into something beautiful."
Talking about her marriage to Eric Johnson, she has written further, "That's what I did as well, but it took me longer to get there." She and Johnson shared three children together: eight-year-old Maxwell, seven-year-old Ace and two-year-old Birdie.
Simpson was abused as a child
The actress has reportedly talked about sharing her experience of abuse a child with her daughter in the introduction. She writes, it was time for her to address it when an abuse survivor became emotional before them during a book signing.
"When she walked away, Maxwell asked, 'What was she talking about?' This was going to have to be the time for our talk. Parents have to seize these moments when you have your kids' attention," she explains.
