Break ups can be tough, but for the rich and famous it can be particularly hard on your bank balance.

In a recent interview, Jessica Simpson revealed that her net worth took a knock after she split from first husband Nick Lachey in 2005.

Speaking to CNBC’s Closing Bell host Kelly Evans, the blonde starlet explained: "The biggest money mistakes? I don't know. For some reason I thought of my first marriage!"

Jessica and Nick married in 2002 after dating for 3 years, splitting briefly in 2001 before reuniting after the 9/11 attacks.

They then married in a romantic ceremony in Texas, with Jessica, 35, reportedly remaining a virgin until her wedding night.

The couple starred in their own hit MTV reality show The Newlyweds, but were unable to make their marriage as successful as their careers.

Nick later married Vanessa Minnillo in 2011 and the couple are now parents to two children.

Jessica met and fell in love with NFL star Eric Johnson and the couple welcomed two children, 3-year-old daughter Maxwell and 2-year-old son Ace. They married in California in 2014.
