Nick Lachey’s Ups and Downs Through the Years: Jessica Simpson Divorce, Legal Trouble and More

Nick Lachey has been in the public eye for over two decades, experiencing both career highs and lows and personal ups and downs. He first gained fame as a member of the boy band 98 Degrees in the 90s and rose even further to fame after marrying Jessica Simpson in 2002. However, their marriage soon began to crumble, and Simpson filed for divorce in 2005.

In an interview with Rolling Stone a year later, Lachey revealed that he was blindsided by Simpson’s announcement that she wanted a divorce while they were in a limo after the American Music Awards. Lachey channeled his emotions into his music, releasing the hit single “What’s Left of Me” in 2006, which he penned after his split from Simpson. The emotional track was followed by an album of the same name later that year.
