Oops...sorry...thanks for being first with important news Eileen!

they were such a cute couple. i wonder what really happened

It is sad to hear of any marriage ending.
This one doesn't surprise me, what do you expect from a couple that chooses to have the first year of their life as a married couple televised-weird...their celebrity status was more important to them than their marriage. I am just glad they didn't have any kids.

But E-online is saying it isnt true..

is it or not?

According to ETONLINE.COM

Nick & Jessica: Is It Over?

October 5, 2005
Is it really over for 'Newlyweds' couple JESSICA SIMPSON and NICK LACHEY? According to this Friday's issue of Us Weekly the popular twosome, who have been shooing away break up rumors for the past year, are no longer together. But Nick's representative tells ET that the reports are 'not true.'

In a joint statment on behalf of Nick and Jessica his rep says: 'Nick and Jessica have not separated. Rumors to the contrary are simply not true.'

The pair were last seen together publicly on September 11 when they sang a duet at an NFL football game. According to the magazine, rumors of a split started to swirl again when Jessica arrived solo (and without her wedding ring) to her sister ASHLEE's 21st birthday in Las Vegas last weekend and Lachey, who was scheduled to be there, was a no-show.

Us Weekly sources also claim it was her ego, her partying and her dad that drove the couple, who will celebrate their 3rd wedding anniversary on October 26, apart. Just days ago, while talking about her new body care collection 'Sweet Kisses,' available at Wal-Mart, Jessica spoke with ET's CHRISHAUNDA LEE, offering marriage advice.

'I think you have to always remember, and he has to remember, that you do need a compromise, even though it's hard,' she said.

She admitted though, that sometimes strong personalities can get in the way of marital negotiations. 'There's people with pride involved,' she says. 'You have to back down sometime -- just a little bit.'

If it's not true (and I really hope it's not) why do they keep attacking these poor people. just let them live their lives for God's sake.....why is the media so intent on their ruin?!?!?! for some reason though, i'm just not believing it----they seemed so for real......

I loved them together
