Adam Levine Rushes to Defend Jessica Simpson on Nick’s Interview

Perhaps there may be hope for a Adam Levine and Jessica Simpson spark after all. The two sexy singers were rumored to have had a brief fling right after Jessica dumped then hubby Nick Lachey.

Now - at the very least chivalry is not dead as Adam has rushed to defend Jessica on Nick’s Rolling Stone interview, according to this week’s Life & Style.

Lachey hinted in the interview that Jessica may have cheated on him during his emotional spill to the magazine saying he wasn’t sure if she was sleeping around.

Levine reportedly called Jessica to help her cope.

Life & Style Weekly will report that Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine, who had a brief fling with Jess after her separation (and allegedly when she was married, though both deny it). Adam wanted to offer his condolences about the article, which mentioned their rumored affair.

“He was like, Is Nick crazy?” says the insider.

“Adam told Jess, ‘Nick will never take responsibility. He’ll blame Joe [Jess’ father]. He’ll blame you. He’ll blame Newlyweds, the media, whatever. But he’ll never admit that he had anything to do with the marriage failing.’”
