Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey are getting divorced

Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey are getting divorced.

The stars - who shot to fame in reality MTV show 'Newlyweds' - have announced they are to split after three years of marriage.

The couple have been at the centre of endless break-up rumours over the past six months.

The pair said in a statement: 'After three years of marriage, and careful thought and consideration, we have decided to part ways.

'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.'

Jessica and Nick tied the knot in October 2002 and went on to star in their own reality TV show which centred on their trials and tribulations as young newlyweds.

But rumours of their impending split started soon after Jessica started filming her latest movie 'The Dukes of Hazzard'.

Earlier this month, Jessica's father and manager Joe Simpson slammed rumours his daughter's marriage was on the rocks.

Speaking of Nick and Jessica's recent trip to Italy ahead of their third wedding anniversary, he said: 'They're still together

They just got back from Italy, where they were taking their anniversary vacation, they spent time together and had a romantic dinner.'

Earlier this month, it was reported Jessica was to spend her third wedding anniversary alone.

The sexy actress was planning to spend the landmark date in Nairobi, Africa, without Nick to promote a children's charity.

I think this is really sad... I hope if things aren't actually finalized yet, they can reconcile.

I really like Jessica and Nick as a couple and I hope they can work things out. Although, if not, the best of luck to both of them and their careers.

This is really sad. I really thought that they were a great looking couple, but looks in not what counts in a marriage. They were together for along time even before they were married. I never thought that it would end like this. Divorce is unfortuntly very common now a days expecially between celeberties. This is alful. May Jesus Bless both of them. I think that it is sweet that Jessica didn't have sex until after she was married. I guess she read the Holy Bible. Jesus Christ loves all of us and he died on a cross for our sins, so that if we trust and believe in him and as him to come into our heart and save us, he will do it.
Thank you,
Brenda

Jesus Christ loves us. He died on the cross to forgive us of our sins and if we believe in him and trust in him, and ask him to come into our heart, he will save you forever and we will get to go to Heaven with him when we die. No one wants to go to Hell. In the Bible it talks about Hell being an aweful aweful place. It will be an etternal punishment.
If you believe that Jesus loves you and that he died for your sins, invite him into your heart.
Pray to him this prayer and he will hear you...
Dear Jesus,
I know that I am a sinner. I know that you died on the cross to save me. Please forgive me of my sins and come into my heart and life and save me. I love you. Thank you so much. I want to ive my life for you.
Amen!
If you said this prayer and meant it, Congradulations, you just got saved. PLease be a witmess to others. Tell them about this.
In Christ's Love,
Brenda C.

I think this is a really tragic thing. When I first saw them on TV, I thought they were a great couple. After seeing them on the Newlyweds, I thought that they would never break up. Out of all the celebrity couples, I thought they were going to be together until the end of time. They were so cute together and it they really cared about each other. I really hope that they can work things out, but as we all know, what's meant to be will happen. If they were meant to be together, then they will work out their problems. If not, then I wish them the best of luck in their careers and the rest of their lives. I also hope that their families and them will get through this difficult time. God Bless!

Nick and Jessica are really rich. They're going to be fine. I wouldn't stress about two people you dont even know. You're all spineless and stupid.

I agree...this is sad. But seeing how Jessica Simpson has changed from a solid Christian with values to someone who doesn't really say or do anything for God anymore kindof made it obvious their marriage would end up like every other Hollywood marriage. Watching the 'Newlyweds' really changed my opinion of Jessica. I love watching it and I think they are a great couple but some of the things they would do on that show (partying) and the dirty words used by them and Joe Simpson, as a former pastor, really surprised me. I am not trying to be judgemental or anything but as a pastor or person claiming to be a Christian in the public eye but then acting the way she/he does is just a disappointment. And now to see her comments of 'I don't go to church or read the Bible much anymore' is really sad. To give up God for Hollywood is really sad. And I agree with some Christian critics in saying 'How could Joe Simpson, as a former pastor, and as Jessica's manager, approve of some of the things she is doing? or her partying? or her language?' Sounds like Joe has sold out Jesus to Hollywood. Wouldn't it be neat to actually see a Christian stay Christian in the public eye and not fall into the Hollywood expectations of selling sex and sin? I do hope Jessica finds God again...I really do. Again, this is not meant in judgement. I am just really rooting for her but ultimately disrespect her father. As a former man of God....get it together, especially for your kids, no matter how popular or rich you may be. This life isn't forever Joe...you should know that.

who are we to judge anyone. these people are human being just like the rest of us no matter what they have done or what they are going through. i personally feel that marriage is a life long committment and i was shocked that nick and jessica were getting a divorce, but whatever is in the lords plan will take place no matter what we feel or do. i wish both of them the best in whatever they decide to do, but people should stop being so judgemental of their actions and their relationship and take a look at themselves.
