Jessica on whether Newlyweds caused the demise of her marriage to Nick Lachey: “In all honesty, I believe it did not affect our marriage, Because we enjoyed watching those episodes, and that will always be a time I cherish. It made me understand what marriage is, what love is, what commitment is.”

Jessica on her current relationship with Nick: “I have not spoken to him in years.”

Jessica on her weight being documented by tabloids: “It comes with what I do and I know that every day the media’s going to challenge me, is going to want to bring me down. But I feel like I’m at such a place that I own myself, and it’s authentic. I own that authentic part of myself, and none of those words are harsh enough to make me believe them. I can’t imagine saying some of the things people have said about me about anybody else.”
