Simpson's comments about her second marriage are a stark contrast to the way she described her first union to ex Nick Lachey.
In "Open Book," Simpson confessed that she wishes the former couple signed a prenup before marriage and admitted the pair duked it out daily when the "Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica" cameras weren't rolling.
“In year three, that's when we started knowing, 'Let's get these camera crews out of the house,'" recalled Simpson. “So I would just say some dumb blonde joke or something. I really did confuse chicken and tuna, that was real. Yeah, that was real. I own that.”

“We knew our roles and we knew when to turn it on and we couldn't wait for the cameras to get out of there so we could fight,” she continued. “All of a sudden we were fake. We weren't the golden couple, the trophy couple that everybody thought that we were, that everybody expected us to be, and it was hard to rediscover. By the end of the show, we weren't even really talking.”
Simpson and Johnson, a former NFL tight end, share son Ace, 6, and daughters, Maxwell, 7, and Birdie, 10 months.
