Nick Lachey married fellow pop star Jessica Simpson in October 2002. The pair had dated for four years, however they had a five month break up, but remained in contact. They had both had a series of failures in the music industry: Nick faded off the map after 98 Degrees, and Jessica had low sales in both albums Irresistible and In This Skin. They needed some heavy promotion to push their careers further and Jessica’s father, Joe Simpson, had the idea for a reality show that followed the superstars’ newly married life together.

Newlyweds premiered on MTV in August of 2003 to a huge amount of viewers and recognition. The outrageous quotes, hilarious lifestyle, and mega-spending of the young couple made Newlyweds a phenomenon. Many famous moments included Jessica confusing tuna and chicken, and thinking that buffalos had wings. The couple was sprung straight back into the spotlight. Upon the success of the duo, Jessica re-released her album In This Skin. It quickly became a hit, reaching triple platinum status.
