“I was going through a lot of pain,” Jess tells Elle of the period immediately following her 2005 split from ex-husband Nick Lachey. “I didn’t try anything to change my life other than dating different types of guys and conforming to their worlds. I thought I had to be artsier, more intellectual.”
“Most of the guys I dated were captivated by my heart, but they had different ways of trying to get to me. Tony understands me. He appreciates my talent. He’s the first person I’ve spiritually connected with.”
“It’s the cutest thing,” a beaming Jess said of Tony. “He’ll say, ‘Jessica, 75% of the comments about your new single are favorable.’ “
