Jenny McCarthy grilled the VH1 host on his relationship with his ex-wife and whether he "hisses" at the TV when she appears
Nick Lachey has admitted that it was “best thing” that he didn’t have babies with his ex-wife Jessica Simpson.
The couple, whose life as man and wife was documented on MTV’s hit show Newly Weds, married in 2002 and split in 2006.
While appearing on Jenny McCarthy’s show Dirty, Sexy, Funny, he had to answer A LOT of questions we’d been dying to know about the former couple.
When asked how happy he was that they didn’t have children, Nick said: “In our situation, that was probably the best thing that could have ever happened that we didn't have kids.”
The 41-year-old, who is about to become a father of two after wife Vanessa Lachey is set to have another baby, continued: . "And look, you're always going to love your kids no matter how you feel about their other parent, but all things being equal, it was the best thing probably for both of us that we went on with our lives.
“She's obviously happily married with two and I'm happily married and about to have two so it all worked out the way it was kind of meant to work out."
The 98 Degrees singer said that he doesn’t speak to Jessica. At all.
"She and I don't necessarily stay in each others lives,” he explained to the SiriusXM host.
“I wouldn't say it's friends and I wouldn't say it's enemies - there is just no contact. We both moved on with our lives…it's not animosity, it's not friendship, it's just kind of nothing."
But Jessica, who is married to husband Eric Johnson and has two children – two-year-old Maxwell and 16-month-old Ace, is hard to escape from with her HUGE business.
McCarthy asked if Nick ever “hisses” at the TV when she pops up.
He quipped: “I don’t rush right down to Macy’s and buy a bunch of clothes or shoes, but I also don't hiss at the TV - it's somewhere in the middle.”
