"So unnecessary": Fans slam Love is Blind host Nick Lachey for taking a dig at ex-wife Jessica Simpson

Love is Blind season 3 reunion was filled with many emotional moments and shocking allegations. However, fans were most shocked by a joke made by the host Nick Lachey, who took a dig at his ex-wife singer Jessica Simpson.

Nick and Simpson were married for four years between 2002 and 2006. In 2011, Nick married Vanessa Lachey, and the two have been hosting Love is Blind since its first season.

During the recent reunion, one of the married couples, Colleen and Matt, were explaining how they don't live together yet but are content with their relationship. Matt was previously married for six years before his ex-wife cheated on him. That was an issue for the couple for quite some time as Matt was unable to trust anyone.

After hearing what Matt and Colleen had to say, Nick joked about the situation and said:

"Hey, it's always better the second time, right?"

While the rest of the cast also joked about the situation, Nick fist bumped Matt. However, fans of the show were disappointed in Nick and slammed him for taking a dig at Simpson as they felt it was unnecessary.

Fans slam Nick making a sly comment about ex-wife at Love Is Blind reunion

Nick and Jessica were known for their show MTV show Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica, which went on for 3 seasons. Later, in her memoir, Jessica revealed that she was getting certain endorsements without Nick, which caused some tension between the couple.

The couple eventually got divorced after many fights although it seemed like they were fine during their show. While the settlement money that Nick got is unconfirmed, in her memoir, Simpson mentioned that she regretted not signing a pre-nup with her ex-husband.

Nick married his current wife in 2011 and shares three kids with her.

Love is Blind fans asked Nick not to insult the popular singer and felt that he was not a good host. Some also called him and Vanessa "true villains" and the "least qualified people to throw shade."

What happened on Love is Blind season 3 reunion?

The Love is Blind season 3 reunion had all the formerly engaged couples making an appearance. Of these, only Matt and Colleen, and Alexa and Brennon seem to be the couples who said yes at the altar and have stayed together.

The episode description reads:

"This season's current and former couples sit down with Nick and Vanessa for an emotional conversation to clear the air and look back at their wild ride."

Alexa and Brennon revealed that they are happily married, and although they did admit to having small fights, they said that they quickly got over the fights. The former also admitted that her husband's lack of money didn't annoy her and that they had accepted each other's different backgrounds. The 27-year-old also noted that she wasn't pregnant yet, which seemed to imply that the couple might start their family soon.

SK and Raven were another couple who decided to stay together despite saying no at the altar. SK didn't want to be in a long-distance marriage and decided to say no to Raven. However, at the reunion, they announced that they were dating each other. The latter, who is a Pilates instructor, also said that she never reached the level of connection with any man as she did with her former fiance.

While the story seems to have a happy ending for these couples, there were two couples who didn't get their happy ending. They were Nancy and Bartise, and Zanab and Cole.

Bartise said no to Nancy on their wedding day after the latter had said yes. During the reunion, the 31-year-old said that her former fiance went on a date with a "tall blonde" woman the day after their wedding. While the 25-year-old admitted to going out with another woman the day after his wedding, he also claimed that his personal life wasn't anybody's business.

As the cast members felt that Bartise moved on too quickly, Nancy also seemed to have taken a dig at her the former about his age. The former couple had a six year age gap between them.

The other couple who didn't make it past the altar were 31-year-old Zanab and 27-year-old Cole. The former accused her ex of body shaming her and making comments about her face. The flight attendant also said that Cole got another woman's number at his bachelor party. However, he denied the claims.
