With the announcement of Nick Lachey’s engagement to Vanessa Minnillo, rumors spread through the Internet that Lachey’s ex-wife was saddened. But it seems they are just rumors as Simpson was interviewed on by Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show.

Simpson tells Seacrest, “I am extremely, extremely happy for him. I couldn’t be more happy for Nick.”

Simpson said of the rumors, “I don’t know where all those rumors came from. My mom actually called me and told me that everybody was saying that I was ‘saddened.’ And I was just in complete shock.”

“You know, our relationship was over a really long time ago, so it would be nice if everybody could move on with us and really just celebrate the love between him and Vanessa. I do, and I wish them nothing but the best.”
