In addition, she revealed in her memoirs that she had an emotional relationship with Dukes of Hazzard Co-star Johnny Knoxville, which she felt was “worse than physical”.
The star, who became famous for saving herself for the wedding, wrote in the memoirs: “After I actually had sex, I understood that the emotional part was what mattered. And Johnny and I had this, which seemed much more like a betrayal of the my marriage than sex. “
It wasn’t long after the film’s premiere that she and Nick followed separate paths, with the 98 degrees singer taking half of Jessica’s income in the divorce settlement.
Jessica does not necessarily regret the marriage, but feels remorse for never having signed a prenuptial agreement. She reiterated this in an interview with Doctor Oz, explaining how she was “offended” when Nick first brought it up. She recalled, “I was like, ‘We’re going to be together for the rest of our lives. We’re saying our vows to God and in front of all of our family and friends. Like, this is never going to end.’ And we didn’t sign a prenuptial agreement. “
