The show reportedly put a strain on their marriage after it concluded last year. “Ashlee assured Evan that the show would be a hit,” an OK! source claimed after their series netted low ratings on the E! network.

Jessica, 39, was having her own success on reality television at the time with her now ex-husband Nick Lachey. Their hit show, Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica, ran for three seasons on MTV. They filed for divorce in December 2005, nine months after the final episode aired.
