Simpson revealed in the book that she met Lachey when she was just 18 years of age and she fell in love right away.
'"Hi I’m Nick," he said. Hello, my life. I thought,' Simpson recalled in her book about falling in love at first sight.
'Nick loved the fact that I was so strong in my faith and that I had this wide-eyed innocent approach to life. When he proposed in 2002, I said yes,' she added.

While the marriage seemed to be on strong footing early on, Simpson revealed that both suffered from anxiety over their careers, which was a factor leading to their split.
'We had been together almost seven years when I told Nick, "I think I want a divorce,"' Simpson said, adding she heard, 'he told the press he was blindsided.'
'I don’t know how. At that point we were not even speaking to each other. Maybe he was just shocked that I stood up for myself. I don’t think he ever thought I would take the leap,' Simpson added.

The divorce ended up more costly for Simpson, since she had a more successful career than her husband and they didn't sign a pre-nuptial agreement, which resulted in Simpson paying her ex $12 million.
She also spoke about how she became addicted to drugs and alcohol as a way to cope with sexual abuse, to a point where she was told she could die if she kept heading down that path.
'I was killing myself with the drinking and pills,' Simpson said in the book, though she has put those days behind her.
