Nick Lachey has stated that he will never read Jessica Simpson’s autobiography.

The 47-year-old 98 Degrees member admitted to Andy Cohen on his SiriusXM show Radio Andy that he has not read his ex-wife’s memoir and would not be doing so in the future.

‘You’ll be shocked to hear that I have not — nor will I ever read that book,’ Lachey said.

‘I obviously knew the book was coming out, but I lived the book, you know what I mean? I know what the truth is, so I don’t need to read it or read someone’s version of it in a story that I know. … I lived it. No, I never read it.’

“I’m thrilled where I am in life and that was 20 years ago,” the 47-year-old said, “so it’s honestly the last thing on my mind these days unless someone brings it up. I understand why people want to ask but it‘s so not my life anymore that it’s not even on my radar.” Lachey is currently married to Vanessa Lachey, with whom he has three children: Camden, 9, Brooklyn, 6, and Phoenix, 4.

He said, “She‘s doing her thing, I’m doing mine. And that‘s the way it should be.“

Lachey has been married to Vanessa Lachey (née Minnillo) since 2011. They had been romantically linked since 2006.

Simpson’s book, Open Book, was published in February of last year and quickly rose to the top of the New York Times bestseller list.

A handwritten note from her “divorce journal” is among the details of their relationship in Simpson’s book.

“I didn’t want to be married any longer but I was also afraid to be alone with ‘no one to call my own but the night,'” she wrote in her black Mead notebook. “The house is hushed. Everything is still. I sit in solitude. To cry. To feel alone….”

“What a shame to find that which is or who is to blame, because in this world, deceit becomes a crippled hearts cane,” she said.

Jessica also expressed surprise at how swiftly he moved on from his relationship with his now-wife Vanessa.

‘So, Nick, you’re with another already? Seems that you forgot the love you spoke to me. I’m saddened beyond belief. Alone in the dark, with no one to call my own,’ she writes in the paperback edition of Open Book, her 2020 memoir, which contains previously undisclosed diary entries.

Nick was overheard telling partygoers at a Miami bash that he had “not read a single word” when “Open Book” was initially launched.

At the same event, he told Us Weekly that his ex-wife “did not reach out before it was published.”

In 2014, Simpson married former NFL tight end Eric Johnson. Maxwell, 9, Birdie, 2, and Ace, 8 are their children.
