Nick Lachey and longtime girlfriend Vanessa Minillo got engaged this week. One person who would not be too thrilled about the engagement is Nick’s ex Jessica Simpson.
A tells Popeater, “Even though Jessica wants to be happy for Nick, this is a very difficult time for her.” Tha source continues, “Nick was the love of her life then, man, and he was her first, so she will always have a very special place in her heart for him. She’s deeply saddened.”
Vanessa was featured in one of Nick’s unpopular music videos just months after his split from Jessica. The two have been dating for about four years.
Must be a lot easier to date someone who doesn’t have such a controlling father in law. Even still, Jess should be relieved that she is dating someone… That always makes it easier when an ex gets engaged!
