Nick Lachey Stirs Up Joe Simpson Gay Rumors

Nick Lachey jokes about playing grab ass with ex-wife Jessica Simpson's father Joe Simpson.

Nick Lachey may be about to find himself facing the wrath of the Simpson clan.

The former husband of Jessica Simpson was on Bravo's Upfronts on Tuesday when he stirred up gay rumours surrounding his ex-wife's father and manager Joe.

Leaving host Andy Cohen blushing, the star joked that he used to have to play 'grab a**s under the table' with the 54-year-old on Easter Sunday.

‘The best thing about not having Joe Simpson as a father in-law is I don't have to play grab ass under the table on Easter Sunday,' 98 Degrees singer Nick, who is now married to Vanessa Milano, said.

His remark was almost too much for host Andy: 'I am blushing I am blushing.'

Recently tabloids reported Joe had started dating a much younger male model and club promoter after splitting from his wife of 34 years. The claims were denied at the time by a representative for the Simpson family.

But no doubt Nick's response will add more fuel to the rumour fire.

Nick - who was married to Jessica for four years until 2006 - was given a set of questions and allowed to choose one to not answer or 'Plead the fifth' one but Nick answered all questions.

He was also asked about if he had ever been with anyone famous the public did not know about but he was unable to answer as Nick said 'I feel like all my skeletons are out of the closet'.

His famous hook ups - besides his ex wife and current wife - also include Kim Kardashian, whom Nick briefly dated in 2007.
