They announced their split around Thanksgiving and now they have finalized their divorce during the July 4th weekend. I guess Jessica Simpson wants to ruin EVERY American hoilday for Nick Lachey. So SAD! I just can't believe it! Nick and Jessica are officially single. The only thing left to do is split up the property and bank accounts.

Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey are officially divorced, Simpson's rep Rob Shuter confirms to PEOPLE exclusively. According to papers filed in L.A. County Superior Court, the divorce is dated June 30, 2006, and Jessica's name is restored to Jessica Simpson (from Jessica Simpson Lachey). Lachey's rep also confirmed the divorce.
On Thursday, documents were released in which the former couple asked that retired Superior Court Judge Dana Senit Henry be appointed "for the sole purpose of" ending their marriage. They asked the judge to "bifurcate" the case, meaning to make the divorce official without settling all the financial details. (source)
