JESSICA SIMPSON's staunchly Christian mother TINA has praised the singer for filing for divorce from NICK LACHEY, insisting ending a marriage takes a lot of bravery.
The WITH YOU star devastated fans of her reality TV show NEWLYWEDS: NICK AND JESSICA when she announced the split last November (05), but her supportive mother insists she should follow her heart.
Tina Simpson says, "It took a lot of strength to know what she wanted to do and divorce Nick. For any person, it's a difficult thing to do.
"But I always tell my girls to trust their instincts because women have an innate sense of things." (JB/W/SH)
