While Jessica Simpson is going out and having fun with her sister Ashlee Simpson and ex-boyfriend John Mayer, showing off how happy she is might be serving another purpose — to make her ex-husband Nick Lachey just a little bit jealous.
Although John may be the perfect Mr. Right Now — the two recently hung out at Katsuya — she knows her Mr. Right was, is and always will be Nick. As every woman knows, having a public affair with a sexy rocker would make any man jealous. And Jess’ night with John, who has a habit of broadcasting his affairs to the press and on Twitter (hello, Jennifer Aniston!), just might make Nick — who has been spotted with Jess look-alike Holly Letchworth — take notice.
“Nick is the guy Jess knew she should be with, but they were too young and their lives catapulted so quickly into fame that they never seemed to be able to catch up,” a pal says of the Newlyweds co-stars, who ended their three marriage in 2005. “She’s changed so much since they split and found out a lot about herself.”
That includes realizing she still has feelings for Nick.
“He’ll always hold a special place in her heart. It was her first love,” the pal says of their marriage. “Jess isn’t sure if Nick would give her a chance at this point, but she’d love to be friends. She says a part of her will always love him.”

Nick doesn’t want this self obsessed, desparate tranny
LOL! agreed
g-d you’re so jealous
She is just grasping at straws……..can anyone say desperate???
Nick cared for her and loved her with imperfections and all. All she did was treat him like crap. He should never go back to her. Now all she does is date guys that treat her badly. None of them reallly love her like Nick did.
Where does OK magazine come up with this crap?
If she wanted Nick she would have never left him in the first place!
Any reports I’ve seen her and John were at the restaurant on DIFFERENT nights!
The picture is from when they were together.
Very creative though, not believable.
Its very hard to believe a gorgeous,talented, rich woman who could have any man she wants would need to make anyone jealous.
Hmm…Scandalous!
KIMORA LEE SIMMONS DONT HER MARRYED NAME TO THAT CUITE DARK MEN SHE HAVE BABY BOY IS CUITE HE LOOKED LIKE HIS DAD AND HIS MOM KIMORA GIRLS ARE CUTE TO THEY DIDNT DO A SHOT OF THEM YET. NO COMMITE ABOUT ON MISS SIMMSON SHE CANT MAKE UP HER MIND WHO SHE WANTED TO BE WITH SHE IS NOT WITH NICK SO YOU GUYS ARE DREAMMING ABOUT THAT IF THEY WILL BE TOGETHER AGIAN.
You MF’s are really reaching with this BS story. Just make it up as you go along.
Jessica will never go back with Nick. He was a jealous, moody, unemployed cheater who didn’t deserve her. He never treated her very well but he played the “Nice Guy” act for the camera. WHat has he done with his life since besides party, have sex for the cameras in Mexico and hook up with Z-list tranny Vanessa? Nick is still hanging on to Jessica’s fame (and money) and he loves headlines like this because nobody cares about him otherwise. His latest single bombed and he looks about 50 years old now. Funny, how US WEEKLY is claiming Nick is back with bloated face Vanessa and INTOUCH is claiming Jess is back with pothead John Mayer. All these rags never print the truth. Nick is sleeping with a new girl nightly and Vanessa is back to being a wild party slut. Jessica moved on and upgraded since Nick.
I agree with you. She had totally upgraded. He is a player.
She should lose about 40 pounds and stop banging her father, then maybe Nick would consider her.
Nick common am here babe, awurama.
this story is bull-s–t those believeing this story and taking sides are even bigger idiots and you people are what the tabloids prey on. jessica and nick are over and have been done with each other for the last 4 years ago,they have moved on with their lives its the media and the fans who cant let go. nick dismissed any rumors of reuniting and jessica’s camp has said this will never be…until i hear it from nick or jess themselves that is the best source of real information..otherwise its all lies.
You are right the tabloids are nothing but BS. I can’t believe all this he doesn’t want her and she doesn’t want him, so get over it. Retract in about a week and see what happens. You guys need to write good stuff and happy stuff this is old stuff. Get on with happy news.
Another crap article by OK.
This article is PATHETIC! Why would Jessica try to make Nick Jelous by dating another guy? Didn’t she date guys after Nick anyways? Listen, they both move on and it’s time for OK to start priting out reality. This is what OK assumes and I guess this type of articles are the ones that sells.
I guess Jennifer wants Brad back too? OK! needs to come up with better stories to sell their paper. Nick and Jessica are done and you need to move on. Nick seems more the type that can’t move on and I doubt Jessica would ever go back to him.
I 100% would live for them to get back together. Sometimes you go through things and realize what you are missing now that you once took for granted.
I don’t think Jessica can have \any man she wants.\ I think she’s just proven otherwise over the last three years. I doubt myself there is much truth to this story either, but one has to admit she’s looking pretty pathetic these days. And my guess, is she KNOWS what she lost or left behind. I’d say she was pretty damn lucky to have Nick. Oh well, those days are gone - and I highly doubt they’re coming back. She may be rich, beautiful, and somewhat talented, but that desperado still wants a man in her life - and she can’t keep one! Like I’ve said before, the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. Too bad she had to find that out the hard way.
Nick Lachey had money before he met Jess. He was doing just fine before her and doing fine right now. They may have made more money together but Jess Dad was an opportunist and this is why there was no prenup. Nick tried to get Jess to sign one but she said if we should split he deserves his share and that is what happened. Nick don’t want her back because he waited on her virgin but and since they split she have been giving it up without reservations. So enough feeling sorry for Jess because you reap what you sow. Nic really loved her and he still does and you can tell this in his music especially with new song patience. This is why he and Vanessa did not work.
Some of you say Jessica didn’t treat Nick well and others say that Nick didn’t treat Jessica well. I am sorry but do any of you know these people. You make me laugh. The media twists stories and even creates stories and you are just eating out of their hands.
