Nick Lachey Had A "Very Respectful" Encounter With Jessica Simpson On A Flight

"“It is true,” he told host Andy Cohen of their respective families crossing paths in the air, adding that the run-in was “strangely OK.” The 98 Degrees singer noted that he hadn't seen Simpson in 20 years before spending six-and-a-half hours on a flight together - or at least “in the same vicinity,” he clarified. “Everyone was very, very cordial, very respectful.”"

"While the exes - who starred together on their own reality show, Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica, in the early 2000s - haven't seen each other since parting ways in 2006, they've made rare comments about each other in the years that followed. As Simpson told in 2020, “We really got crushed by the media and by ourselves. I couldn't lie to our fans and I couldn't give somebody hope that we were this perfect golden couple.”"

"That same year, Today anchor Hoda Kotb relayed to the Lacheys that Simpson had said she'd received a gift from the couple after giving birth. “It wasn't us, but thank you whoever sent it from us,” Vanessa said, later adding: “I don't know her address.” Simpson later smoothed over any potential awkwardness on , explaining: “I don't really know that I got a gift, per se. But my gift with Nick is that he is happy, and that he is married, and he has three beautiful children.”"

Nick Lachey confirmed that he and Jessica Simpson crossed paths on a flight to Hawaii. He said they were in the same vicinity for about six and a half hours and that the interaction was strangely OK. He described everyone as very cordial and very respectful. Lachey noted he had not seen Simpson in 20 years before that flight. The two exes had previously made rare comments about each other after their 2006 divorce. Simpson said they were crushed by media and themselves and could not pretend they were a perfect golden couple. Vanessa Lachey later said she did not know Simpson’s address after thanking someone for a gift allegedly sent from the couple. Simpson also emphasized that her gift with Nick was his happiness and his marriage and children.
