Nick Lachey opens up about emotional goodbye to ‘Newlyweds’

Nick Lachey has admitted that he was crying when he wrapped filming on his and ex-wife Jessica Simpson’s reality show, “Newlyweds.”

During an appearance on the Richer Lives podcast last week, the 51-year-old actor got candid about his experience on the early 2000s MTV reality series.

“I actually came to really love the crew,” said Nick. “I remember crying the day we shut down because you develop relationships with them. They really became family.”

The TV host revealed he became overwhelmed with emotion when he ended his show because he had formed a close bond with the crew after being told to ignore them.

“I remember at first they were like, ‘Don’t talk to the crew. They’re a fly on the wall!” he recalled.

“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,’” added the Love Is Blind host.

Nick also shared that he was surprised by the success of “Newlyweds” as it was “totally unexpected.”

“My ex-wife had an album coming out, I had an album coming out,” he said. “We had no idea it was going to take on this other life of being this reality fly-on-the-wall type of show.”
