Commentary on how Jessica’s family changed

Here’s a sobering article about Jessica’s family and how far they have come. Has fame and wealth cost them the most important things in life? Did Nick and Jessica get married too young? Did Joe Simpson meddle too much in their affairs? What do you think?

The more Jessica’s popularity stretched off the charts, much to her father’s managerial persistence, the less a Bible-carrying Baptist Jessica became. And the less her dad appeared like a Baptist youth minister….

    If it wasn’t for all of us..Jessica will probably still in TX ..milking cows. My personal opinion…she needs to know that some people likes her because of her looks and nothing else. Ashlee is more down to earth and that is why she is better than her sister. Just remember Jessica…god give but god can take it away. That is why your marriage is what it is. I hope a better woman for Nick and with brains.

    I totally agree Ana. I think Jess got so wrapped up in “celebrity”, money, fashion, etc., that she forgot what’s important. She prob hasn’t gone to church in years. It’s sad but basically her marriage was NOT a priority. I’m married and it’s definitely work, but it’s such a joy, and i wouldn’t trade lives with anyone because my husband and family are the most important things. I hope she is learning a lesson. And i hope her father is happy. He finally got what he wanted.

    i think that it done of anyone bussiness why they split, if her father was the real reason than thats for nick an jessica to desided, which i really hate it for both of them, an hope that they get back toghter but if nick did cheat, i no that is something that can really damage a couple for im with a man that has cheated for years an it has rudden use an are family an i cannt get over it i will never love him the same nor forgive him, i wish you both the best, an only time will tell

    The only thing more vapid than Jessica Simpson is peole talking about her Church attendence. Who cares! She and her whole family are just giant phonies.

  5. debbie Says:

    Well done Jess!!! And boo- hoo-hoo America is laughing at you Jess. As for Nick, there are better women out there other than that cheap “diva” who ASK for discount at stores!!!

  6. MB Says:

    I think they should stick together. What is wrong with everyone? Hollywood sucked them in just like everyone warns you. You gotta give it up and do what you have to do to save your marriage. That should come first. And quit listening to what everyone else tells you. It’s all in your heart. I feel bad for them. And they both seem like fine peeps to me, I think they just got bored with each other. And at the same time never saw each other. Just get your priorities in order, and work it out. They did marry young, but need to work together to make it last. For everyone’s sake. I don’t even want to see post Lachey divorce.

    You all are so rude- dont you care that a couple once in love and perfect for eachother, has fallen apart. It’s no ones fault, but terribly unfortunate.

  8. Meghan Says:

    Joe Simpson is absolute trash- prime example of a father trying to live vicariously through his children. He has an unnatural attachment to them that will definitely mess them up. Looking at his botoxed-forehead and dyed blond hari makes me feel like vomiting. What a sick slick piece of work…

  9. Jillian Says:

    I wish and hope that Jessica and Nick work through this terrible time. I think that they are not giving it enough time. Honestly 3 years of marriage…..there are going to be many ups and downs in ones marriage and you cannot just separate everytime it gets a little hard. Who ever said that marriage was easy?? They need to stop putting themselves first and put eachother as their first priority. Money can’t and won’t buy happiness. Yes, pepole may know the name Nick and/or Jessica in years to come, but they said their vows to love one another for all their lives and it is that type of love and bond that should last and hold on when all the lights and cameras of hollywood is gone. I think they are living in the present instead of remember the past and looking forward to the future.

  10. Daisy Says:

    If you read this Nick and Jessica, i just want you to know that it doesn’t matter what people say or think about you as a couple or as singles, as long as you two are happy. I just want you to know that God hear’s your prayers. He might not answer them right away, but it will come when the time his right.
    I know what you two are going through. My husband is in the military and it’s really hard, being married. I would love to spend all the time in the world with my husband, but i can’t because he has a job, just like you and Nick. when you both are working so much like that, it’s hard to sit down and have a conversation, because one of you are to tired or one of you just had a bad day, or one of you are gone for a period of time. my husband and i are 23 years old, got maried at age 20 and had a son, it’s very hard! All i can say to you both is keep your head held high and just remember that God should be the first in your life!

  11. genesis Says:

    well i think that both nick and jessica are doing this for fame. it’s all about being in the spot light and that is exactly what is happeining. If im wrong well im sorry, but i do believe that if they love eachother they will overcome anything that comes their way. Love is the strongest thing and everybody needs it to survive. Nick and Jessica were together for 3 years and it wont be easy to be appart, but they just have to keep in mind the saying….”if you love somebody let him/her go if they come back they are all yours and if they dont they never were yours” try very hard to save your marrige and if it’s just not there “the love” just let it go, things happen for a reason.

  12. Angela Says:

    I fully agree with Jillian. Unless one of them cheated, they need to give it more time, step away from Hollywood, work on their marriage and what they vowed to one another. Marriage is a life long commitment, and too many people say “things fall apart”. Well, you know what, then you pick up the pieces and work it out. I am married and have gone through awesomely wonderful times and lowest of low, so I do know what I am talking about. At the end of the day, your spouse should be number one (with the exception of God), and I would not be surprised if that is where they slipped up. Jessica has become very Hollywood and Nick clearly puts family first. Frankly none of us know and probably never will, I’m just saying I would not be surprised…Anyway the point in my post is that way too many couples give up when they should really press on and work things out.

  13. Ashley Says:

    I hope all the best for Nick in his professional and personal life. I feel so bad for you Nick, since you had to deal with a bunch of sick people from the simpson family. Jessica you are such a shame!!!

  14. Ish Says:

    Nick and Jessica should give this marriage a second chance because it is worth salvaging.

  15. chiwawa stomper Says:

    No-one can ruin your marriage unless you let them. Everyone is quick to blame Joe Simpson, but he is only as involved as they allow him to be. As much as Nick may seem to show distaste for his involvement in their marriage, he certainly didn’t mind the fame that Joe’s management bought. Like many of you have said already, marriage has to come first after God or it will not work. It’s about laying down your own wants for each others. If you both do it, it works. My marriage has been subject to interference many times, but we made a pact that our relationship came ahead of our relationships with our families at the altar. As a result we are stronger today than we have ever been and our families now respect that. I still hope they both have enough humility to give it another try, because a marriage is never over. You vowed it was forever, so it is.

  16. Karen Says:

    The whole Simpson family makes me sick! Don’t these people have enough money already, I never seen a father who would push his daughter to show so much skin, In Magazines or videos, For the sake of more fame and money. I think that is all Joe Simpson thinks about is money, It makes me sick that he was able to make millions of dollars off his daughter! He doesn’t deserve it!! Please do not buy
    any more of their products , Your only making that JACKASS Joe Simpson more money, He couldn’t make a dime off his stupid daughter through her talent so he was so desperate to get fame and money I think he would of done anything, Then Newleyweds came along and he found his golden ticket, Making his daughter look like a self-absorbed stupid bimbo, Whos only passion in life is to shop- shop- shop! I love when she’s says that her calling in life is to help people and change the world, But she is’nt doing anything at all. She only cares about how she looks and how many designer clothes she can buy, And how much money she is making. Why doesn’t she donate some of her money to charities like alot of celebritys do? I hope her star fades really fast!! She never deserved all these fame.

  17. VERONICA Says:

    YOU ONLY CARE BECAUSE THERE FAMOUS, IF THEY WERN’T YOU WOULDNT CARE!

  18. debbie Says:

    I agree 100% with Karen. The Simpsons are shameless, they are pure example of people who are hungry for money and fame. Big daddy Simpsom is acting like he’s a PIMP except that he is pimping his own daugthers into turning them into super bimbos.

  19. isldweller Says:

    It is ironic theat Nick and Jess are the same age as my wife and I. I am 27 the wife is 23, we have been married 4 1/2 years. We have both caught each other in weird situations when it comes to trust. In it all you have to remember that everyone envies people who have what they don’t. Even in one night stands, the people who truly loose are the one’s in the marriage (mostly the one who got played that night). You find yourself feeling rich at first for your spitefullness, but cheap at the fact it meant nothing but revenge (plus it wasn’t all that good). This thing called marriage is harder work than any career can stress. But if you take the critics and the rewards of it, and come through together as friends, lovers and soulmates.
    To get these things, it takes forgiveness (plenty), re-assuring trust in each other from forgiving, then accepting the things that cannot be changed (etc. the wrong happened). Nick & Jess, you have to love the GRIT of the person your with. If not your next relationship will be no better or longer. I hope both realize that you were meant for each other. What God put together let no man put assunder.

  20. dawn franklin Says:

    Well…so many people would die to have all the monay and fame…it makes life so much easier…but before all that, didn’t they just love eachother..and want to be together???Now…well it’s on how popular they are, or who’s career is doing better. Nick seems like a smart guy, and Jessica…love your style, but now that you’ve achieved such success…maybe you should give back a little…learn…maybe go to school…as for the IQ thing///well 160…LOL …anyways, I can’t pass judgement really, I don;t know you guys…you’re probably really nice, cool people…but you’ve hit the big time…think back on the old times and remember that health, happiness and love and God always come first!!! Go back and watch some old footage of yourselves…when you were so young with that big dream…reality and love were in your eyes…not anymore!!! I guess it’s true about what Hollywood does to people…thank God…we don’t get like that up here in Canada!!!
    But…anyways, take care of yourselves and go back to the basics of life…not on how big your house is, the cars you drive or which designer you’re going to be wearing…you guys have worked for success…like everyone else in life does,,,but remember…it can always be taken away…and then you’de have nothing!!! Except family, friends and love to get you through…that’s what it’s all about!!! Good luck to you guys and Jess…push the envelope…educate yourself more…and thank you’re lucky stars!!!
