“Newlyweds” Simpson and Lachey finalize divorce

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey,
who let America pry into their marriage with their MTV reality
show, “Newlyweds,” have finalized their divorce, a spokesman
for the singer-actress said on Saturday.

The marriage of Simpson and Lachey crumbled late last year
after three years.

Celebrity magazines reported the two had yet to work out a
financial agreement, but Simpson’s spokesman, Rob Shuter,
refused to comment.

“All I am confirming is that they are now in fact
divorced,” Shuter told Reuters.

Lachey’s representatives could not be reached for comment.

Lachey, 32, is promoting his album “What’s Left of Me,”
while Simpson, 25, is recording a video for her new single, “A
Public Affair,” after starring in last summer’s movie “The
Dukes of Hazzard.”
