Vanessa Minnillo Talks Elephant In The Room Jessica Simpson

Vanessa Minnillo Calls Jessica Simpson The 'Elephant In The Room'

Newlywed deja vu!

When Vanessa Minnillo and Nick Lachey agreed to have their July wedding filmed for their TLC reality special, the Wipeout host was well aware that people would be thinking of Lachey's first trip down the aisle to Jessica Simpson in 2002.

In a clip from Nick & Vanessa's Dream Wedding, which aired Saturday, the 30-year-old then bride-to-be addressed the inevitable comparisons between her nuptials to Lachey, 37, and his famously documented marriage to Simpson, 31, that ended in divorce in 2006. "To address the elephant in the room, yes, coincidentally at the same time our wedding his going his ex is actually also doing the beautiful thing of getting married herself," she said.
