Simpson, who went to Africa last year on behalf of ‘Operation Smile,’ which helps children with facial deformities, said that while she was on that trip, she realized that it was time to move on.
"I went there on our three-year wedding anniversary. He stayed home. On that day, everything became so clear. I was in hospitals with all these sick kids, and I was looking at the beauty of this whole different world. I just knew I needed to find something more in my life - on my own," Contactmusic quoted her, as saying.
"I prayed, then looked up at the sky, and I'd never seen this before - it was a double rainbow. It was the most gorgeous thing ever. "From that moment on, I've listened to Judy Garland’s ‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow’ every single day," she added.
And soon after the singer returned home, she told Lachey that she wanted a divorce.
"At some point we realized that everything is not what we expected it to be, as hurtful as that may be," she said. (ANI)
