Nick Lachey announced on live TV yesterday that all is well with his marriage to Jessica Simpson.
Frustrated by relentless media rumours that their marriage is on the rocks if not over, Lachey took the opportunity of being a guest host on Live With Regis & Kelly to declare: "There's the saying that when they stop talking about you that's when you have to worry. So that's kind of what you have to keep in your mind is that as long as people care, it's a good thing. But it does get old.
"There's so much negativity that is out there and a lot of it's based on absolutely nothing true," he continued. "So you just have to let it roll off... We're shocked that people are still on this same rumour. We've been divorced for six months now, apparently. It's like it just keeps going on and on and on. I have aunts and uncles and even my mum calls (and asks), 'Is everything okay?' I say, 'Mum, don't you think I would tell you before you read it in In Touch Weekly that I'm getting divorced?'
"I would absolutely, positively, like to set the record straight. Everything is absolutely wonderful in marriage and life and love. We've been saying it for months now. We're okay... They insist on going back to the same old thing about I'm jealous of her career. I love my wife to death and I support the heck out of her, as any husband would."
IMDb.com reports that Simpson's father recently revealed that he had hired Hollywood's "most powerful lawyer" to attempt to silence the media rumour mill.
