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.

61. Jessica seems to be a child. Nick needs a women! Jessica needed Nick to take care of her because she wanted to get away from her father.. Jess lost the best man that will ever happen to her. Nick hang on to Vanessa. you do not need to be bothered with jessica's hair, teeth, cloths & workout trainer. Everyone has them.
You need a women with life expiecence and a brain. Nick do you ever hear the small jokes Jay Leno tell about Jess. She must have been a piece of work.
What a break for you. Your the winner in this.

62. I am a big fan of Nicks since I am a Cincinnati Girl, but since reading all these emails, I stated to wonder if Nick really cheated on Jessica. I hope not. I really thought he was a great husband, but after reading Janices statement, and rumors here in cincinnati about a Bengal cheerleader, it is making me wonder about him. I love ya Nick, but if you cheated you got what you deserved.

63. why doesnt the truth just be told, so we are not blaming Jessica or Nick? I think Jessicas dad had a whole lot to do with this. Man, just let your kids do there thing!!!! Get your own life!

64. TEAM NICK!!!!!!!!! ALLLL the way
The only reason Jessica and Daddy have any money at all is because Nick was by Jessica's side. He made her look good. Now she looks like crap. I think Nick was entitled to at least half of what Jessica Has, and all of what Daddy Joe has.
Good Luck Nick

68. I am so Happy Nick has moved on to a wayyyy better woman!!! Vanessa Minillo is actually a real woman and not some fabricated piece of no good talent like Jessica Simpson is! She's pathetic...she's already in her mid 20's and she is still making childish pop music!!! She won't be around for long.....she has no talent and she is a complete idiot!!! Good Luck jessica trying to find a man half as good as Nick!

70. Its great seing nick with vanessa. jessica is just plain stupid for leaving a nice guy who treats her like a princess. she will never mind someone that nice to her and plus once she realises that nick was a great guy and she comes crying back to him, he can just laugh in her face and say "thank you but no thanks." I just think her parents are ruling her life. oh one more thing her recent song "a public affair just plain sucks.

71. this totally sucks! the only reason why i beacame a really big fan of jess & nick is because of them together. but to hear they are never goin` to be together anymore & that they`re movin` on.. totally SUCKS!!! if u havent noticed nick has been w/ jess for like how many years not only from marriage but bein` gf/bf. he seemed to know how jess can really be. he seemed to overcome dat because he "loved" her. o well. this jus sucks!

72. Let me tell you, Nick is a one in a million type of guy. He's good-looking, hard-working, smart, and honest. At first I was a little upset that Nick and Jess broke up. They seemend like a cute couple. But Jess has changed alot and I am totally on Nick's side. She needs to grow up. Daddy is a weirdo and she needs to learn to make her own choices. Listening to her daddy all the time ain't ganna get her anywhere. She needs to go back to being herself. She's needs to go back to being honest to herself and her fans. So Vanessa, U GO GIRL!!!! You just got yourself a good man. Hold him tight y pa lante!

74. I have to say, I get depressed when I hear about Nick with someone else LOL. I have all the newly weds DVD's and really believed in them. I'm only 25 myself, and newly married and my husband always says to get over it. I really thought they were the real deal, that they would make it through the lime light. My husband can't look at Jessica's videos or pictures, he thinks it's all her fault!! LOL ....Good for Nick, I hope he finds someone to appreciate him...cause MAN there are not many men that would stick around that long for a girl that didn't give any, that didn't cook , clean or even have half a brain. He really loved her, and she'll see what life is all about once this fame is over! She made it big for being in love with Nick and their show. Good luck to Nick!! He deserves it!

75. WE LOVE JESSICA...& HATE MILLANO!!!!
he probley had vm before she left him, remember the girl that came out and said she kissed nick in his hotel room? i wonder how much he paid her to keep her lips sealed on what else happend, it was SO obvious, and what do u know the story broke the day after she announced she was leaving him. he is an idiot! he'll be NOTHING without her! that's what you get nick for being such a manslut, now you got this FAKE psycho with stars in her eyes...remember fatal attraction?
