Jessica Simpson and Nick LacheyJessica Simpson and Nick LacheyPractically every week there are rumours that Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey's marriage is wobbling.

And almost as frequently, either one of them denies the chit-chat.

But now Jessica's dad and manager, Joe, has waded into the fray and dismissed the break-up reports with a portion of sarcasm.

"They're still together..." he says.

"They just got back from Italy, where they were taking their anniversary vacation; they spent time together and they had a romantic dinner.

"Nick rented some museum place and had an orchestra and had an opera singer sing and they had a candlelight dinner.

"Sounds like a divorce to me..."

The couple have been married for 2 years and had their own reality TV show called Newlyweds: Nick And Jessica.
