Unfortunately, Jessica Simpson broke up with Jensen Ackles because he cheated on her with LeAnn Rimes. Although Simpson didn’t name-drop Ackles in the “Newlyweds” episode, she dropped enough hints for fans to place him in her story. However, she did name Rimes. Simpson revealed that Ackles was “dating LeAnn Rimes at the time he professed his love to [her]” (via The Irish Examiner). According to Contact Music, Jensen and Rimes started dating after she booked a role on “Days Of Our Lives,” on which Jenson starred from 1997 until 2000.
Unlike Ackles, Rimes decided to address Simpson’s accusation in 2004. According to Rimes, Simpson had things all wrong. While speaking with Contact Music, she denied cheating with Ackles, but admitted to being friends. “We were friends, but there was no real dating,” Rimes explained. “He’s a great guy, but there was no cheating.” Fortunately, whatever possible animosity Simpson and Rimes may have once had between them had dissipated by 2009. According to The Hollywood Gossip, Rimes and Simpson played nice as they co-starred in a promo for The Academy of Country Music Awards.
