Nick Lachey makes rare comment on 'totally unexpected' part of marriage with ex-wife Jessica Simpson
Nick Lachey is happily married to longtime wife Vanessa Lachey, and they share three children. But more than twenty years ago the 51-year-old former boy bander's life looked a lot different. While appearing on the podcast Richer Lives this week, Lachey opened up about his first marriage to his ex-wife, 44-year-old singer-actress Jessica Simpson. The two starred on MTV's Newlyweds, which followed them as they settled into living together as husband and wife. 'Newlyweds obviously became a huge reality show,' Nick reflected. 'The only one that had come out before that was The Osbournes, which was also a massive show. But that show was created as a vehicle to promote music.' He said that the show's success and three-season run was 'totally unexpected.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'You know, my ex-wife had an album coming out, [I] had an album coming out, I'll do a little six-episode thing to promote the album,' he explained about what motivated them to sign on to the series. 'We had no idea it was going to take on this other life of being this reality fly-on-the-wall type of show. So that was totally unexpected,' the Ohio native shared. The show lasted from 2003-2005, spawning three seasons during that time. Nick and Jessica's three-year marriage ended shortly after, in 2006. Amid the breakdown of the marriage, the cameras briefly rolled again for Nick's What's Left of Me documentary special. The Hollywood hunk also dished on the strict rule he and Jessica were given in regards to the camera crew. 'I remember at first they were like, "Don't talk to the crew. They're a fly on the wall!" And I was like, "Guys, if this is ever going to work, that's just not how I'm wired. You're not going to be in my house and watch my every move and we're not going to talk to each other. We got to get past that right now,"' he revealed. 'So I actually came to really love the crew. I remember crying the day we shut down because you develop relationships with them. They really became family.' Following their divorce, Jessica went on to have high-profile romances with John Mayer and Tony Romo before eventually marrying former NFL star Eric Johnson. They share three kids: daughters Maxwell, 13, and Birdie, six, and son Ace, 12 in June. In January their split was announced after ten years of marriage, with Simpson saying in a public statement that they 'had been living separately and navigating a painful situation' in their relationship. Meanwhile, Nick and Vanessa are going strong and star together as co-hosts of Netflix's Love Is Blind and The Ultimatum. On Richer Lives, Lachey spoke about balancing work and personal life with his wife. 'I think the best thing you can do is not bring your work home with you, which is tricky when you work with your spouse,' he offered. 'I think we do a really good job of doing that, for the most part, but it's not easy working with your spouse sometimes.' He added, 'Sometimes you show up for work and there's an argument at home that you brought with you to work and you don't want that to bleed over. And sometimes there's arguments at work that bleed over,' he explained. The couple are parents to sons Camden, 12, and Phoenix, eight, and daughter Brooklyn, 10.

Pedro Pascal At The 78th Cannes Film Festival Reactions
Pedro Pascal at the Cannes Film Festival is going viral for all the right reasons. On May 17, Pedro arrived at the 78th Cannes Film Festival for Ari Aster's A24 film Eddington, which received a five-minute standing ovation, and he's been giving the fans what they want. For the Eddington photo call, Pedro wore black trousers, dress shoes, and a black muscle tank top that reveals his arms and a tasteful side view of his torso. Here's a closer look: It wasn't just Pedro's spicy style that had the internet in a frenzy. The Last of Us actor's actions at the festival really have people talking, too. "I am an immigrant," he continued. "My parents are refugees from Chile. We fled a dictatorship and I was privileged enough to grow up in the United States after asylum in Denmark. I stand by those protections, always." On the flip side, he was being extremely playful, blowing kisses and constantly poking out his tongue at cameras. There's a moment when he had a beautiful embrace with Alexander Skarsgård after the premiere of Pillion, a 2025 British drama starring Alexander alongside Harry Melling, and written/directed by Harry Lighton. The internet is straight up thirsty for Pedro, and it's not even a joke. One person said, "anyway back to more important topics... Pedro Pascal definitely could have been in a 90s Boy Band," and that's so real. Another person said, "he makes me want to chew through my own arm," and that's also real. This person said, "I swear - every time I see this man I could drown a toddler in my panties," and that's wild, but also understandable in this internet climate. And finally, someone wrote, "every time someoone invalidates me for finding a 50 year old man hot, pedro pscal validates me by showing up even sexier and hotter than the day before," and that's facts. Pedro is a fan favorite. Period.

BTS Singer RM Returns To No. 1 On A Billboard Chart
In just a few months, the world may get to hear new music from BTS. Several of the seven singers who make up the South Korean boy band are still enlisted in the South Korean military, so the group cannot record new material as a whole just yet. The individual members who are free to pursue their music careers after completing their mandatory service – required of all men by a certain age in the country – are busy with solo ventures. This week, BTS frontman RM returns to the Billboard charts with a brand new bestselling release, and he's not alone. RM teamed up with fellow South Korean artist Tablo for the exciting collaboration 'Stop the Rain.' The duet leans into old-school hip-hop sounds and deals with some fairly negative emotions, which may have helped endear the tune to many listeners thanks to its striking honesty. 'Stop the Rain' quickly becomes one of the top-selling tracks in America as it arrives, earning both Tablo and RM impressive placements on several tallies. 'Stop the Rain' launches on four Billboard rankings this week, but only two of them are based solely in the United States. The RM/Tablo team-up opens highest on the U.S.-only rosters on the Rap Digital Song Sales chart, which ranks the bestselling rap tracks in the nation. The cut marks a first leader for Tablo, and the third as a soloist for RM. It also manages to enter the all-genre Digital Song Sales chart at No. 4. 'Stop the Rain' starts so high thanks to a little more than 3,500 copies sold, according to Luminate. The tune also performed well enough in its first seven-day tracking period to reach both of Billboard's worldwide lists. It opens at No. 116 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S., which blends sales and streaming activity from around much of the world — excluding American listeners. The two South Korean stars don't rise quite as high on the Billboard Global 200, where U.S. activity is factored in. On that list, 'Stop the Rain' starts at No. 178, coming in more than 60 spaces beneath its position on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. That shows that international plays on streaming sites and purchases on download platforms were largely to thank for the title's debut on either roster.

Could Deadpool join the X-Men? Ryan Reynolds is thinking about it
Ryan Reynolds is back behind the scenes, working on a potential new project involving his iconic antihero, Deadpool, but with a twist. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Reynolds is developing early treatments for a film that would feature Deadpool teaming up with three or four members of the X-Men, shifting the spotlight from Wade Wilson to a more ensemble-driven narrative. At this stage, the project is still in its concept phase and has yet to be formally pitched to Marvel Studios. However, Reynolds, known for his hands-on approach to Deadpool's cinematic journey, is independently writing the idea while simultaneously working on Boy Band, an upcoming Paramount comedy he plans to co-produce and star in. The idea of stepping back from the spotlight isn't just strategic, it's philosophical. Despite Deadpool & Wolverine raking in $1.33 billion globally, Reynolds has hinted that he doesn't envision another solo Deadpool outing. Instead, he's interested in exploring team dynamics that broaden the character's universe. 'Fitting in would be Deadpool's death,' Reynolds has said of the character's arc. While there's no official word on which X-Men may appear, speculation among fans points toward familiar faces like Storm, Gambit, and Colossus. Meanwhile, Marvel Studios is developing its own standalone X-Men film, with Hunger Games writer Michael Lesslie attached. Though nothing is greenlit yet, with Reynolds' creative involvement and proven success with the franchise, it wouldn't be surprising if this crossover concept eventually finds its place in Marvel's expanding multiverse.

Read more: Ryan Reynolds Teases New Deadpool Team Up Project According to The Hollywood Reporter, Reynolds is working on a treatment for a new "Deadpool" movie that is expected to involve at least three members of the X-Men team. "Reynolds is exploring ideas for a Deadpool movie that would feature X-Men characters, as well as continuing to script the Paramount comedy Boy Band after making writing a priority for much of this year before tackling other obligations, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter." The report from The Hollywood Reporter also goes into detail about the project, which has yet to be pitched to any studio. Considering that "Deadpool & Wolverine" made $1.338 billion at the box office and R-rated movies have made the most money out of any R-rated movie ever released, it is believed that studios will be battling it out for this potential sequel. Deadpool and Wolverine is a festival of meta Marvel. Beyond the headline acts it also includes Wesley Snipes as Blade, Jennifer Garner as Elektra, and Channing Tatum as Gambit.

Marvel More news: Jeremy Renner Rejected 'Hawkeye' Season 2 Over Insulting Offer Reynolds did make mention that the Deadpool character would not be in another solo movie, and that is being proven true with the new project once again focusing on a potential ensemble cast instead of just featuring The Merc With a Mouth by himself. The Hollywood Reporter also indicated that this film will not interfere with or be connected to the X-Men movie being made for Marvel Studios. The X-Men have yet to make their grand Marvel appearance, other than in the MCU, including mutations. Namor from "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" and Kamala Khan from "Ms. Marvel" are the first two confirmed and new mutants. Wolverine and Professor Xavier have been introduced and are from the FOX era, but both might only be involved in minor ways moving forward. Professor Xavier has been confirmed for the "Avengers: Doomsday" film, but he may not be an integral mutant in the grand MCU plan. Marvel fans have been begging for the X-Men to fully appear in the MCU, especially the main characters like Cyclops, Beast, Jean Grey, Storm, and more. Reynolds might be once again playing with some X-Men characters in this proposed film, but they might also not be the ones highlighted in the upcoming MCU film. Either way, this is exciting news for the future of the "Deadpool" franchise. For more on Comics, head to Newsweek Comics.
