Jessica Simpson recently addressed claims made by her ex-husband, Nick Lachey, regarding their children's seating arrangements on a flight to Hawaii. During an episode of 'Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen,' Nick shared that he encountered Jessica for the first time in 20 years, noting that while she was in first class, their three children—Maxwell, 14, Ace, 12, and Birdie, 7—were seated in coach with their father, Eric Johnson. Jessica clarified that the tickets were purchased by her mother, stating that if she had bought them, her children would have been with her. Nick reflected on their unexpected meeting, describing it as 'strangely okay' and emphasized that the atmosphere was respectful. Since their divorce in 2006, both have moved on; Nick is married to Vanessa Lachey and Jessica announced her separation from Eric in January 2025, focusing on co-parenting their children. Reports also indicate that Jessica is currently dating Nashville musician Thomas Eisenhood.
