Jessica Simpson dropped a bit of a bomb about her first marriage to Nick Lachey Thursday during an interview with Kelly Evans on CNBC’sClosing Bell Monday. The singer turned fashion mogul made an appearance on the show to celebrate the 10th anniversary of her wildly successful clothing brand.
When Kelly asked the 35-year-old to identify her biggest financial mistakes so far, the mom of two replied, “The biggest money mistakes? I don’t know. For some reason I thought of my first marriage!” Yikes!
Jessica may have been thrown a bit by the question, but her answer certainly shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. She and Lachey did not have a prenuptial agreement and, in the state of California, that means the pair had to split their assets equally. Seeing as Simpson was making about seven times as much money as her ex at the time, one could certainly describe her divorce — or, at least, her lack of prenup — as a “mistake."
The singer later added that she and her business manager of 16 years have made some great investments over the years, making very few mistakes but still taking risks. "I’m definitely a person that is all about taking a risk and everything to me is kind of a ‘why not?’ I take an opportunity by the reigns and just go for it,” Simpson explained. “When we started, it was only shoes and now it’s grown so big. I’m just counting my blessings.”
