In Jessica Simpson’s new book, Open Book, she recently revealed new details about her complicated and close relationship with her father, who was also her manager.
In the memoir, she wrote about the day of her wedding to Nick Lachey in 2002, her father asked if she was certain if she wanted to go through with it, just before he accompanied her down the aisle.
“Dad, I’m walking down this aisle and getting married,” Jessica wrote, referring to how she spoke the words “through gritted teeth.”
Jessica and Joe also went through a rough patch after her parents separated (which Joe revealed to her right before she gave birth to her first child).
Since then, they have reconciled and remained very close.
In Open Book, Jessica opens up about everything from the abuse she endured at the hands of a family friend as a child to her struggles with addiction as an adult, her first marriage to Nick Lachey, and more.
