TWIT is sad to report that amid much speculation, Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson are in deed splitting up. The rumors have been flying around for months, but the couple announced Wednesday what everyone had already been thinking. "After three years of marriage, and careful thought and consideration, we have decided to part ways," the statement says. "This is the mutual decision of two people with an enormous amount of respect and admiration for each other. We hope that you respect our privacy during this difficult time."
The rumors started last October, when Lachey attended a wild bachelor party, complete with strippers. The couple denied rumors that their marriage was in trouble. Then over the winter, the couple was apart while Jessica filmed "The Dukes Of Hazzard" and while Nick worked on a solo music project. Still, the couple denied rumors of marital problems.
In my unprofessional opinion, this marriage was doomed from the start. With MTV filming them for three years - the first three years of their marriage - for their reality show "Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica" it had to put a strain on the marriage. Maybe if they hadn't had the cameras constantly in their faces for the past three years, these two kids might have made it. I didn't care much for their TV show, nor did I like their network variety show specials, but I liked the pair. They seemed like good kids - they weren't into drugs or booze, and other than the stories about the wild bachelor party Nick attended, you never heard any bad press about them. If MTV and the media had left them alone, they might have made it.
