Nick Lachey crossed paths with his ex, Jessica Simpson, in March for the first time in decades and shared some awkward details about their encounter. “We hadn’t seen each other in 20 years, then spent six and a half hours on a flight to Hawaii together,” Lachey said on a Wednesday episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. Lachey described their reunion as “strangely OK.” After some prodding from Cohen, he revealed that while Simpson and her mom, Tina, were up the front of the plane, Simpson’s kids and her estranged husband, Eric Johnson, were “in a separate class of service.” He said being in close proximity to his ex-wife was just fine, with the Love Is Blind host telling Cohen that his wife, Vanessa Lachey, and their three children were on the flight as well, and “everyone was very, very cordial” and “very respectful.” Simpson and Lachey were married for three years before divorcing in 2006. Lachey remarried Vanessa in 2011, while Simpson married Johnson in 2014. Simpson and Johnson, who share three children, separated in 2025.
