NICK Lachey allegedly revealed he has not taken a single glance at ex wife Jessica Simpson’s explosive new tell-all memoir.
The boy bander, 46, was at a Super Bowl party in Miami, Florida when he was asked if he had read the 39-year-old blonde bombshell’s shocking book.

The 98 Degrees singer reportedly said he has “not read a single word” of his ex wife’s tell-all when he attended the celebrity-filled celebration for sports apparel company Fanatics, according to Page Six.
In the revealing drama-filled publication appropriately titled Open Book, the With You singer talked about the first time she and her future husband met in 1998 when she was just 18: “Hi I’m Nick,’ he said. Hello, my life. I thought,” The Blast first reported.
She continued to reflect on the relationship: “Nick loved the fact that I was so strong in my faith and that I had this wide-eyed innocent approach to life. When he proposed in 2002, I said yes.
“We had been together almost seven years when I told Nick, ‘I think I want a divorce.’ I later heard that he told the press he was blindsided.
“I don’t know how. At that point we were not even speaking to each other. Maybe he was just shocked that I stood up for myself. I don’t think he ever thought I would take the leap.”

In the description, the book is promised to cover everything from “her popular television show ‘Newlyweds,’ to a very public divorce.”
Her new read – which will hit stores on February 4 – will be “a candid, inspiring, and behind-the-scenes look at how she chose to learn from each difficult moment.”
The pages are also set to give an inside scoop of how Jessica has “become a more fearless businesswoman, and consistently shatters all expectations of who she was ‘supposed’ to be.”
Nick and the Dukes of Hazard star tied-the-knot in Austin, Texas in October 2002 and were married for four years.

Their marriage was among the first celebrity relationships to get its own reality TV show when MTV’s Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica premiered in 2003.
The series became a pop culture sensation and elevated each of them to a new level of fame during its three season run.
In December 2005, Jessica filed for divorce citing “irreconcilable differences” which was finalized the following year.
She reportedly had to pay her ex husband $12 million at the time as no prenup was arranged.
During an interview on CNBC’s Closing Bell in 2015 when asked what her biggest money mistake is, the pop star replied: “For some reason, I thought of my first marriage.”
Jessica went on to marry NFL star Eric Johnson, 40, and have three children with the football tight end.
Nick married MTV personality Vanessa Minnillo (now Lachey), 39, in July 2011 after five years of dating.
Like his famous ex, Nick and his wife have three kids as well.
