Actress, singer and reality TV star Jessica Simpson has confessed rumours about her marital split to Nick Lachey drove her to a therapist.

The stunning star, who is married to Nick Lachey, was so devastated at constant media gossips claiming she was heading for divorce that she sought psychological help. When asked if she had seen a therapist, Jessica admitted, “Yes, I have. I respect knowledge of the psyche. I would be a therapist if I weren’t an entertainer.”

Simpson said she is still with Lachey, but constant media talk of a marital split can’t help but affect their relationship. You can’t remain unaffected by it, Simpson said. “Communication between us is very important. Without it, the voices in the head start. It’s hard to reflect upon (our relationship), but that’s because the story’s not done yet.”

The ‘Dukes of Hazzard’ beauty also insisted her marriage to Nick - with whom she starred in the reality TV show ‘Newlyweds’ - is still going strong, despite rumours to the contrary.

She said, “Hopefully mine and Nick’s story will continue for the rest of our lives, like what we vowed, through sickness and in health. At the end of the day, you’ve gotta find happiness. I believe that we’ll achieve it.”
