Why would Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey ever get back together?

To help OK! sell magazines, obviously!

According to that reputable publication, which apparently decided to take a week off from speculating on the love life of Robert Pattinson, Jessica has been going out and partying lately to make her ex-husband Nick Lachey just a little bit jealous.

Not her ex-boyfriend of 18 months, Tony Romo, but her ex-husband, who she separated from in 2005. And who has already said they’re not back together.

According to OK!, while John and Tony may have each been the perfect Mr. Right Now – “she knows her true Mr. Right was, is and always will be Nick Lachey.”

Which is why they got divorced. Remember that, OK!? Great juxtaposing of those separate pictures to make it look like they’re together, too. Very real …

As every woman knows, having a public affair with a sexy rocker would make any man jealous. Not that Jessica has done this, but hey, if she did, OK! says it would be “just what she needs to make Nick take notice.”

Well, if he weren’t dating Holly Letchworth.

“Nick is the guy Jess knew she should be with, but they were too young and their lives catapulted so quickly into fame that they never were able to catch up,” a pal says.

“She’s changed so much since then and found out a lot about herself.”

“He’ll always hold a special place in her heart. It was her first love,” the pal says of their marriage. “Jess isn’t sure if Nick would give her a chance at this point, but she’d love to be friends. She says a part of her will always love him.”

Mmm hmm. Friends will probably have to do.

Should Jessica and Nick get back together?
