Fans Pick Vanessa Minnillo over Jessica Simpson for Nick Lachey

For the longest time, fans of ‘newlyweds’ Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey were firmly in the camp that the two should reunite and keep there marriage together.

But as the finalization of their divorce steams towards the finish line – it appears that some fans now have different ideas.

A recent poll by In Touch now shows that Vanessa Minnillo is the choice for “the right woman” over Jessica Simpson for Nick Lachey. Kim Kardashian was also included in the poll, and came in third.

None of this should surprise.

Nick’s fans want to see him move forward and find a new gal that can make him happy. Despite the fact that he has been on a Hollywood dating spree, speculation is that Vanessa may be the one to settle him down – at least for a bit.

He and Vanessa have given up on denying their relationship as Nick and his “What’s Left of Me” music video co-star Vanessa have been spotted all over North America and long range lenses have spotted then canoodling on more than one occasion.

Jessica is said to be ‘devastated’ as she used to be buddies with Minnillo. But no matter, Nick and Vanessa appear to be quite happy, at least for now.

And fans agree – according to the poll.
