Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson have been divorced for almost twenty years. Since then, they have both remarried and each have three children of their own.

Nick, who hosts "The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On" with his second wife, Vanessa Lachey née Minnillo, made a rare comment about his divorce from Simpson while trying to empathize with a cast member, confessing that he bears "scars" from the split.

The show portrays several couples who are uncertain about the future of their marriage and embark on an alternative relationship to decide if they want to commit or move on.

Nick, who was previously married and divorced, shared his understanding of the pain and scars that come with it while seated next to Vanessa at a dinner table.

In 2006, He and Simpson, who co-starred in the reality show "Newlyweds," officially divorced after separating the previous year. The couple had met through their shared manager in 1998 and experienced an up-and-down relationship before tying the knot in October 2002.

Nick released a ballad about his failed marriage, "What's Left of Me," which featured Minnillo in the music video. Despite their initial connection, their relationship did not progress as quickly as his with Simpson.

"Vanessa shared with the cast that she had issued an ultimatum to Nick, and they had been dating for five years. However, she had never disclosed what she truly did during that time."

"I kept pointing the finger and I took that finger and turned it to myself. I had to admit that I wasn't giving him the respect and communication that I wanted. There was an age gap, and I was still going out with my friends. I told him I wanted to be a mom, but he wasn't interested. We were both Scorpios, and we were stubborn. We weren't getting anywhere."

Nick continued the conversation, stating that their relationship was far from perfect.

"Nick encouraged the group, saying, "Don't let your past define your future. I always wanted a beautiful marriage and family, and I wouldn't have achieved it if I hadn't kept my belief in it. We may not have it all figured out, but we're here together.""

"When you love each other, you have faith in one another and are in sync."

As Simpson and her husband, former NFL tight end Eric Johnson, face breakup rumors, the release of the show and Nick's comment come as fans speculated that the singer's cryptic Instagram post in November discussing new music hinted at issues in their marriage.

In my Nashville music room, I discovered my unique talent. This comeback is a personal journey of self-forgiveness for enduring what I did not deserve.

Neither Lachey nor Simpson's representatives responded to Planet Chronicle Digital's request for comment.
