Nick Lachey On His Split With Jessica, Life With Vanessa & His ‘Idol’ Duet
Though Nick Lachey is perhaps still best known for his ill-fated marriage to Jessica Simpson and their reality show, “Newlyweds,” the singer told Access Hollywood’s Billy Billy in an interview for Access and “The Billy Bush Show” there was no big secret behind their famous split.
When Billy asked the former 98 Degrees singer why his relationship with Jessica ended, he said, “It’s life, man.”
“Why does any marriage end? There are probably more reasons than either one of us will ever understand or want to talk about,” he said. “Sometimes people are in your life for a period of time for a reason and… that situation changes.”
His ex has been a hot topic in recent weeks thanks to a fuller figure in her latest public appearances, but Nick thinks there are important things to talk about.
“That that is front-cover news, to me that’s sad and… really kind of shocking,” he said, adding that he hasn’t talked to Jessica about it. “I wish her absolutely nothing but the best but she and I are not involved in each other’s lives. We don’t communicate.”
Nick also spoke out on a recent rumor that Jessica’s father, Joe Simpson, had squeezed Nick out of a deal for a workout video with Jessica.
“It has to be possible on some level but I will not comment on that,” he said, laughing.
And as for his current girlfriend, Vanessa Minnillo, he said things are just fine despite his solo appearance in Tampa for the Super Bowl.
“She had work,” he said. “She loves sports…she would have loved to have been there.”
Though the couple’s been together for years, he said there’s “no timetable” on their relationship.
“We love each other and we’ll see where it goes from there,” he said.
First, he has an “upbeat” new album, “Coming Up For Air,” due later this year.
One track on the release is “Temporary” – on which he duets with new “American Idol” judge Kara DioGuardi.
“She and I wrote it together,” he said. “Initially, just in the studio, we thought, ‘All right, let’s sing it together and then we’ll maybe find someone else to be on it’ but she did such a great job on it.”
“They’ve touched on it quite a bit on the show,” he added. “People have caught a glimpse of what a great artist she is.”
The fact that he has his own style / sound doesn't mean anything, All In My Head, Without You, Only Good With You, Patience and It's Like [All the songs that I've heard that are related to the new album] doesn't sound like WLOM, it does got Nick's sound in it but it's def' not WLOM.
Not to mention that a duet isn't "the same formula" since he never recorded a duet on WLOM [and Soulo as well if I'm not mistaken].
Today was I was on the bus home I played It's Like, All In My Head, Only Good With You and Without You in my MP3 player and I just couldn't help it but to think that I really like where his album is going, music wise.
I love everything I heard, I think this might be his best album, it will probably be Coming Up For Air > What's Left Of Me>Soulo.

BTW that song ("Temporary") is the duet that Kelly Clarkson and Chris Daughtry recorded. LIke what NIck said, he, Kara (and actually another writer) wrote that song. It'll be cool to finally hear it.
Interview on Cat studio in Lexington, KY before hosting the Man Market - Holiday Hook Up.
@ about 7min mark they talked about the new single + video idea !
He said that he's working on the video these days and one of the ideas they thrown up is he in a wedding and just before he gets married he will see someone from the past and than he will think that he needs to have patience and maybe she's not the right one.
