AceShowbiz - Nick Lachey, best known for his music with 98 Degrees and reality TV fame, talked about the emotional scars left by his divorce from Jessica Simpson, and how he found happiness again with his current wife, Vanessa Lachey.

Speaking to a contestant on season three of "The Ultimatum", released on Netflix, Lachey, 51, shared, "I, too, was previously married, divorced, so I understand the hurt, the scars that exist from that." This conversation highlighted his own experience of pain following the breakdown of his marriage to pop star Jessica Simpson.

Nick and Simpson, 44, first crossed paths at the Hollywood Christmas Parade in Los Angeles in 1998 and reconnected a month later at a Teen PEOPLE party in Florida. Their relationship blossomed soon after, leading to their 2002 wedding in a ceremony attended by 350 guests.

Their journey as a married couple was further shared with the world through the MTV reality series, "Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica", which ran for three seasons. However, the couple announced their split in November 2005, with Simpson filing for divorce the following month. The separation was finalized in 2006.

While speaking on "The Ultimatum", Nick urged viewers not to let past heartbreak define their future relationships. "Don't let your past define your future," he advised.

Reflecting on his own journey to finding love again, he mentioned, "What I truly always wanted in my life, which was to have a beautiful marriage and a beautiful family, if I hadn't retained my belief in that, I wouldn't have ever realized the beautiful life I have with this woman."

Nick and Vanessa Lachey tied the knot in 2011, and together they share three children: sons Camden, 12, and Phoenix, 7, and daughter Brooklyn, 9. Similarly, Jessica Simpson has moved on and married former NFL star Eric Johnson in 2014. They are parents to three children: 12-year-old daughter Maxwell "Maxi" Drew, 11-year-old son Ace Knute, and 5-year-old daughter Birdie Mae.

Nick's journey, from experiencing the high-profile dissolution of his first marriage to finding enduring love and happiness again, serves as a poignant reminder. The key takeaway from his story is resilience and the belief that a beautiful future is possible despite past hurts. This narrative is particularly resonant for young audiences, many of whom are navigating their own relationships and the complexities they bring.

As Nick Lachey's story shows, it's possible to overcome the pain of the past and create a fulfilling future, proving that the end of one chapter can lead to the beginning of another, even more beautiful one.
