From the description of “Movie Star: They Always Say They’re Single,” given on Amazon, Jessica Simpson’s involvement with the unnamed actor picked up again in 2006. This was a few years after their first meeting, and also when things began to go south. Page Six added that she was told by her lover that his relationship was “completely over,” but this turned out not to be the case.
Speaking to People about her decision to go public with the romance, Simpson said, “This is a very personal story and I really thought I would never share it!” She also added that she has learned some things from her experience in hindsight, mentioning, “I learned you can’t always take people at their very persuasive word — seems obvious but it really isn’t when you are dealing with someone who sells it so well.”
