Nick Lachey Made An Apparent Dig At His Marriage To Jessica Simpson During The “Love Is Blind” Season 3 Reunion
After Nick Lachey And Jessica Simpson inevitably divorced in 2006 after everyone gawked at the awkward father/daughter dynamic of their marriage on their wildly popular MTV reality show, Newlyweds, Jessica went on to build an apparel empire and start a family with her second husband, Eric Johnson; and Nick tied the knot with Vanessa Lachey (née Minnillo) in 2011 and started a family of their own. Nick and Vanessa have been the inexplicable and seemingly useless “hosts” on every season of the Netflix relationship experiment show, Love is Blind. Do they produce the show? Are they now visually impaired? Has the money run dry? No one knows. But at every turn, they take the opportunity to turn the conversation to themselves and their own marriage as though they’re some kind of beacon of love everlasting. And on the recent Love is Blind season 3 reunion, Nick took a blatant and unnecessary jab at his bygone marriage to Jessica while Vanessa sat right next to him on the couch. I
According to E! News, during one of the only moments of the show’s reunion that wasn’t entirely forged by a diarrheal mess wrapped up in bright red flags–but Nick turned it into one– it was once-divorced Matt Bolton’s turn to discuss this outlandish and statistically unsuccessful process and his fresh marriage to Colleen Reed (who’s a ballerina, have you heard?!).
During the Love is Blind season 3 reunion, the show’s hosts, Nick and his wife Vanessa Lachey, sat down to rehash the romantic ups and the downs with the pairs from the pods. But it was Nick himself who had fans raising their eyebrows after he connected with contestant Matt Bolton over previous marriages, quipping that marriage “is always better the second time.”
Matt’s reaction to Nick’s comment (and fist bump)? “Cheers, bud.”
Here’s that moment:
This was sooo inappropriate by Nick Lachey and I would be pissed if I was Vanessa. It also reiterates Matt’s POV of him being overbearing of Colleen because of his first wife #LoveIsBlind #LOVEISBLINDreunion pic.twitter.com/zaJd9HSJo7

Now, Jessica’s already been through it this month after getting hammered with questions and concerns about her weight and face in a Pottery Barn ad, so the last thing she needed was the fucking suspendered “piglet” from a past season The Masked Singer slinging 2007’s mud. Fans of the show were livid that Nick shaded the sweet angel baby who brought us, “is this chicken, what I have, or is this fish?”
Excuse me???????? “The second time is always better” Nick Lachey why are you such a meanie butthead about your first marriage #loveisblind #LoveisBlindS3 #LOVEISBLINDreunion

Nick Lachey fist bumping Matt saying “It’s always better the second time” is by far the ICKIEST part of this whole season. #LoveIsBlind #LoveisBlindS3 #LOVEISBLINDreunion

Ewww Nick Lachey's dig at Jessica Simpson was so unnecessary. He only resented her cos his singing career had dried up and she was still booked and busy. Prick. #LoveIsBlind #LOVEISBLINDreunion #TeamJessica pic.twitter.com/eFS0EktCaV

“It’s always better the second time” just your annual reminder that Nick Lachey is a sicko #loveisblindreunion

Although Nick will probably always have a job on Love is Blind because there’s an endless supply of attention hoarders ready to put their dignity and reputations on the back burner and enter “the pods” in pursuit of short-lived Netflix fame; he better put some respect on Jessica’s name; her billion-dollar business acumen is why he could afford his flailing weed farm and dalliances in minor league sports teams after their divorce was so lucrative for him. If he doesn’t fall in line, or Papa Joe Simpson won’t be grabbing his ass, he’ll be reaching for his throat.
