Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica S01 Extra - Interviews

[@jaxxmariecambridge5212]

She was so naturally beautiful, vibrant and healthy looking back then. She is still beautiful of course but back then, still so fresh faced. ❤

Awww, this really brings me back. Can’t believe it’s been 20 years. I was so invested in that show and their relationship at the time. I was a little sad to see it end, but it really was for the best. She was far too immature to have been married so young, and I’m not saying that to be mean. And it was obvious that Nick and her dad didn’t get along well or really like one another. Happy to see that they’ve both found happiness in other people and have been blessed with beautiful children.

[@MYRA0321]

I think most of you forget that these two were in their EARLY 20s when they married. Cut them some slack. Hindsight is 20/20, some of you are so damn critical of two young ppl trying to find themselves while navigating MARRIAGE.

[@lynniec]

Nick was 29 when they got married....

[@fire12731]

@@lynniec. True but he was 26 or 25 when they started dating. Still young for both especially her. She wasn’t ready to be married. Not sure he was either

Aw so young & open , what a realistic view on newlyweds ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉. Wish they could’ve made it longer but GOD bless them & their present spouses 🎉🎉🎉

[@Susie-C-J]

She didn’t deserve his treatment. Watching it all again. This time as a wife & mother…I have no idea how she dealt with him or ended up with him. “…he wanted me to be a woman bf he married me”… 🤯…she had to PROVE she was a woman bf they got married. Screw him! The lack of maturity was his inability to celebrate his ‘wife’s wins’. His Ego couldn’t take it. The jealous, IMMATURE, brat in him showed loud & clear. I’m happy she got out bf kids & while still young and beautiful. She saved herself from what was brewing on the other side.

[@Susie-C-J]

I wonder if she was worth what she is today, if the dynamic would have been different. $$$Respected & treated as equal maybe$$$… 🙄🙄🙄

[@CherylHunt-sx4jr]

I loved them both still do and it’s so sad they didn’t make it. I thought it was kind of coincidental that when Jessica was talking about Fiji on their wedding night how Nick had this tape together of romantic songs and she mentioned the artists and one was Maxwell… and that’s oldest daughters name. Hmm just throwing that out there 🤷‍♀️

[@MorganLeeModelxo]

Thank you for posting❤

[@marykinard790]

It's just so sad that he was threatened about the success she started getting. But that would be hard as a man, having his Wife be the main money maker. He should have just been happy for her. Although she could definitely be insecure also. If you have read her book "An Open Book" you will see how insecure she was as well. Nick was old enough to be married, but Jessica was definitely still a baby who could literally not make a decision on her own, her Father did that, her Parents did everything for her, so she truly had no conception of what marriage was. I wish they could have made it though. Can you even imagine how absolutely gorgeous their children would have been??! It's just too bad.

[@deerheart87]

It would be hard for anyone ....

[@jessejameslatimer8686]

Jessica was so beautiful. She still is but wow

[@perthfanny3017]

She was gorgeous. Now she is a hot mess. Her lips make her look terrible. She ruined her natural beauty

[@Sunflowers_220]

I wish she didn't get lipfillers. Because I agree. And ofcourse she is older now but other than that her looks never really changed but to me, thats the thing a tad off about her looks now. I believe she would look very close to what she looked like back then. If she ever gets them dissolved. She is so beautiful though so even with the filler she looks good.

[@sherriewhite7509]

I think Jessica went with her makeover she looks really different now!

[@unknown-lf6zx]

She’s always reminded me of a young blonde Raquel Welch.

[@deerheart87]

She was honestly really unbelievably gorgeous

[@KtotheB1218]

Her dad is insane and controlling. But he was right. She was not ready for marriage. And it showed.

[@kego581]

Yup, she talks fairytales and magic, soooo far away from reality

[@JohnSmith-xx9se]

Crazy toxic behavior from nick, trying to control and change her like that. Accept her for who she is or find someone else.

[@lyndieskurry1969]

Yup I’m glad Jessica left his ass!

[@pistachiosandpopcorn7146]

I think we all try to change at least one thing about who we are with. I really don’t believe that there is someone that just thinks their partner is perfect. I am not one of those no divorce people…but I am someone that says you should try a little before getting a divorce. I just think y’all are a little hard on nick. The man put up with joe Simpson. However perfect Jessica is….joe takes points away by being around.

[@meganhenry5795]

It's kind of crazy looking back how insecure Nick is.

[@sophieboisvert]

He didn’t grow up spoiled and privileged like her. I love Jessica and her music When I was young I bought her cd and I am very picky I don’t like a lot of singers they got to be good and and she is special but I live an abusive and controlling and violent father so to see her spoiled like that wanting others to clean her crap just because she can afford it is wrong. Britney Spears doesn’t come from a spoiled childhood she talks about doing the dirty work and that brings me to tears because even though she’s the biggest star she doesn’t treat others like garbage. Stop trashing Nick he had a different upbringing that made him who he is He is a great person and he is very talented.

[@memyself7956]

aww, I find him very sweet & charming. Jessica's dad was an overbearing asshole who had it out for Nick. Finally gave him his blessing, but both her parents were too involved in their marriage.

What? He adored her & bent over backwards for her but shouldn't have to clean up after her. Marriage is give & take. Nick did all the giving & Jessica did all the taking. Like she said, she had a lot of growing up to do & it didn't help that her dad was so overbearing. Her parents were too involved in their marriage. And let's not forget SHE is the one who cheated on him w Johnny Knoxville while on the set of The Dukes of Hazzard. Yet HE was the worst? I don't think so.

[@armyofone13]

It’s interesting watching this through adult eyes. A few things I’m hearing differently is that her parents weren’t on board at first which explains some of their weirdness towards him. It was 1000% “Jessica’s world” and Nick was “there.” No shade to Jessica but even in family scenes her family seemed transactional towards him. Given what we know about her father orchestrating things and the role (and trickery) of reality TV, I wonder how much of them blessing the marriage was driven or led by the opportunity of doing the show. I think she wrote about it a bit, but I’m saying I wonder how much of this was in fact scripted and producer driven. And by producer I mean her dad. Like yes, I get and believe they were genuinely together but how much of their story was curated for the show? Even re-hearing the story about their first kiss…it seems “convenient” or rehearsed. What is the most cringy to me, is this entire narrative is about her virginity. It’s so, cringe. I know times were different-I was there, I lived it. But what this feels like is the extension of making Jessica “the good/christian girl” who did sexuality “the right way.” I still love Jessica though 😂 she’s was funny as hell!!!

Watching this video, you can see that she wasn't the idiot presented many times in the show. It was all an act for views and that's sad. I just finished re-watching the whole series from beginning to end, and I was more and more turned off by her parents. She was their cash cow.

He wasn't even that much older than her not that it matters if both people are adults. How is he a creep?

Sure he was a jerk to her but too many donkeys throwing the word creep around when it doesn't apply.
