During a flight to Hawaii, Jessica Simpson encountered an ex-partner nightmare when she realized Nick Lachey was on the same plane and, inconveniently, in first class.
Sources reported that despite being mere feet apart for the duration of the flight from Los Angeles to Kauai, both Simpson and Lachey made efforts to ignore each other. The situation intensified as Lachey reportedly blushed upon seeing Simpson.
To further distance herself, Simpson reportedly rearranged seating within her group. Adding to the awkwardness, her estranged husband, Eric Johnson, was also aboard the flight, though he was seated in coach.
Simpson's ex-husband Nick Lachey was traveling with his wife, Vanessa. The article notes that Simpson's current beau was not mentioned as being on the flight.
