Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica

Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica is a reality TV show that aired on MTV, starring singer Nick Lachey and singer/actress Jessica Simpson right after they had gotten married in October of 2002. Nick was best known as a member of boy band 98 degrees, while Jessica had hit singles including “I Wanna Love You Forever.” The show was a glimpse into their fresh marriage, their relationship, their love and devotion to each other, and experiencing all of it in the spotlight. Both had careers that were blossoming at the same time they experienced newlywed bliss, and they were shown balancing their home life and professional life, on tours, photoshoots, and in the recording studio. Jessica also came into her own as a lovable “dumb blonde” as she asked Nick questions about whether tuna was really fish or chicken because it was called ‘chicken of the sea’ or if buffalo wings were really buffalo. As they experienced more success, it was harder for them to spend time together, and had to come up with new creative ways to demonstrate their love. Although their marriage ended a few years later, their newlywed years remain forever chronicled in Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica. MORE
