In an interview with Ryan Seacrest on KIIS-FM, Simpson, 30, says:

    "I am extremely, extremely happy for him I don't know where all those rumors came from. My mom actually called me and said that everyone was saying that I was 'saddened.' I was just in complete shock. I couldn't be more happy for Nick.


Jessica, who's currently dating former NFL player Eric Johnson, adds:

    "Our relationship was over a really long time ago, and it would be nice if everyone could move on with us and really just celebrate the love between him and Vanessa [Minnillo]. I do, and I really wish them nothing but the best"


Great to hear, Jess!
