Bye Nick & Jess, Hello...?

Days after officially ending their three-and-a-half year marriage, Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson are moving on with their new single lives.Click here to return to TMZ.com
After performing on the "Today" show, Nick was spotted leaving his Manhattan hotel with rumored new girlfriend MTV VJ Vanessa Minnillo on Monday. Despite living on opposite coasts, Minnillo recently told Perez Hilton "We're gonna make it work."

Vanessa better hold on tight to Nick because she's not the only one who finds the singer attractive. Nick was just nominated for Choice Hottie at this year's Teen Choice Awards.



With her new single "A Public Affair" and its sexy video, Jessica Simpson is ready to launch the sexy divorcee chapter of her new life too.

The singer will unleash her acting chops again in the upcoming film "Employee of the Month" which stars her rumored new hook-up Dane Cook. Although the couple have been spotted out on the town together, Simpson and Cook maintain that they're just friends.

In Hollywood the end of one power couple can only mean the start of two more.

46. I think they broke up because Jessica if frigid. She was a virgin when they married and now she doesn't want sex for a YEAR???!!!!! What person in their 20's doesn't want sex........a LOT of sex???? I bet she didn't even "put out" for Nick on their wedding night claiming she was too tired. She probably HATES sex....I think that's why they broke up.

47. I totally agree with TK #46. I've always wondered how a woman could resist a good looking man like Nick Lachey for all the years Jessica did to remain a virgin. I think she has no sex drive whatsoever and in Newlyweds it was always Nick trying to be passionate with her. Nick is so hot and I'm afraid no matter how hard I would have wanted to be a virgin until I married him I would have just had to given in and done him. I don't care what anyone says about Nick, anyone who would have respected someone as much as he did Jessica deserves a medal. I think it's great he's seeing Vanessa who probably isn't holding anything back from him. He's probably had more sex with her than the whole time he was with Jessica. I heard Jessica is seeing Zach Braff from Scrubs. That guy is ugly but probably fits Jessica's style much better than Nick. Good luck to them both.

48. Nick you are better off without Jessica. Good luck with Vanessa maybe she will show you more respect and love you deserve. Oh yeah Vanessa is not the only one who still thinks Nick is a hottie because I think he is fine and he always will be.

49. I NEVER thought that Nick could find another woman as fine as Jessica Simpson, but he's actually found one hotter than her! Damn!! Vanessa Minillo is freakin' hot! Nick is better off with Vanessa and she probably WON'T talk his ear off during sex in bed (which I'm sure what Jessica probably did alot).

50. nick picked a hotti, way hotter than jessica, jessicas a whore that needs attention, she plays dumb, which is actually smart, and broke off a relationship so she can have more fame. Which WILL die out in a couple of years, she'll never get a grammy so please someone tell her to stop singing, shes killing me. Venessa is a 10 jessica is like a 5...lol..go NICK...

51. At least Nick got his trial run marriage out of the way, and is actually ready for a really woman. I got my trial marriage out of the way 11 yrs ago and married a real man and soulmate 3 yrs ago. I think Nick will be just fine on his own or with who ever. Jessica is a pretty girl but she needs to grow up alot. I am a daddy's girl too but my goodness I cut the cord when I was 19. Vanessa is a natural pretty girl, and I think Nick and her are a very cute couple. Good luck you two..

52. I think Nick is plenty happy without her. I saw him at a concert event right before the 4th of July, (the day the divorce was finalized) and he said he likes to consider it "Independence day". Go Nick!

53. For poster #2 who said "People like him are just losers looking to gain celebrity off private affairs."

Kind of like Jessica is a loser for dishing all the intimate details of their marriage by filming Newlyweds? I say good for him. If she's going to bag him, she needs to stop whining about him dishing the details of the divorce to make money. Why must we only hear all about the rosy details of their fake marriage and then be kept in the dark when it fails!? His album is what Nick and Jessica's reality is all about...not the stupid show!! Thanks for finally clearing the air, Nick!!

55. i am still mad that they split they were the perfect couple but i gues all good things come to an end. it think that it is good that they are moving on but nick should stop writing sappy love songs aboutthe break up and start to take after jessica and write a happy upbeat song

56. #40 how can you say that about nick he looked but did you see him touch.and besides she pooped out of a cake looking like a sleezzz
also on the show newlyweds she was always hating on him. all he tried to do was be a real husband by doing down to earth things instead of crying about easy things like just washing dishes she couldn't even wash one load of clothes........AND I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT
MY DAD DOES NOT KNOW MY BRA SIZE NOW THATS CREEPY......
TEAM NICK.................................

57. Go Nick......Jessica is really just not worth it!!!!!

58. I think this is way too soon for Nick - he loved Jess sooooo much, she was so lucky to have such a hot devoted guy and she didnt realise it. Nick should just have some fun for a while - make sure he's over things properly. I dont think he will ever get over Jessica, and vanessa will ALWAYS be second best !!
Vanessa got her claws into him straight away - cannt blame her though !!!!!

59. Thank God Nick is moving on.......Jessica Simpson is a selfish bratand definitly let fame go to her head. She should be ashamed of herself, christian family my a**...more like money hungry wierdos! Serioulsy...her father, can we spell STRANGEEEEE.
Kudos to you Nick, the CD is great , although alittle sappy, udid what u had to and now move forward and finally be happy w/a woman who will cherish u as u shoul dbe cherished. Jessica has no clue.....she'll end up alone and as ugly on the outside as she is on the inside!

60. Okay...they were kids who dated and didn't have shit going on that was making them as star....so they got smart and realized that they could make money off of it.....There marraige made them who they are....not their talent.....let's just keep that in mind. Yeah, they had money because he was in a boy band and she was in the shadows of Britney, Christina, ect....but they weren't that popular when the first got on the sceen, until NEWLYWEDS!!!! Then, jessica sold a good album, nick was her husband....and a really good one. I LOVE the show. That's when I became a fan. I like Jessica more at the time, but I'm going for NICK!! Just because she made more money then him doesn't mean that he shouldn't get nothing.....he had to DEAL with her for 3yrs......now that's something! In the long run....Nick's going to come up better, because he was always the backbone and stronger one. Hey, he got paid for 3yrs. to be her husband, she had to work or it.....hahahaha!!
