Singer and movie star Jessica Simpson has officially filed for divorce from her husband of three years, Nick Lachey.
After months of speculation about their marriage, the couple announced their split last month and it seems as though Jess isn't hanging around to give things a second chance.
The 25-year-old cited "irreconcilable differences" on the divorce papers and applied not to pay alimony to her boyband husband - despite refusing to sign a pre-nuptial agreement before walking down the aisle.
It is no surprise the blonde beauty is rushing the procedure, she is undoubtedly worried Nick will walk away with some of her fortune.
When the pair tied the knot in 2002 it was Nick who was the richer out of the two, but due to movie roles and a flourishing pop career, Jess is now worth an estimated $54 million.
If Jess's alimony case is rejected, she will be required to pay Nick half of her lucrative earnings under Californian law.
