Jessica Simpson said her three children sat in a different class on a recent Hawaii flight because her mother bought the tickets as a treat and she did not book them herself.
Asked whether she would have sat with them if she had paid, Simpson replied, “Of course,” pushing back after ex-husband Nick Lachey suggested she flew separately from the kids.
Lachey, 52, recounted on Watch What Happens Live! that he ran into Simpson on the same flight and noticed she was in a “separate class of service” from the children.
The children—Maxwell, 14, Ace, 12, and Birdie, 7—were traveling with their father Eric Johnson, from whom Simpson announced her separation in January 2025.
