Washington, Aug 14: Singer/actress Jessica Simpson who officially divorced former boy band star Nick Lachey about month ago, insists that she has never been happier following her divorce, because she has discovered a new perspective in life.

The ‘Dukes of Hazzard’ star said that she now feels more independent and convinced that she can now realise all of her career ambitions.

“I feel free, independent and strong. Once I realised how much I really did want from life, I took on a whole new perspective,” Contactmusic quoted Jessica as saying.

The actress, 25, split from Lachey, 32 in November (2005) after a stormy three-year marriage which was documented on MTV’s reality TV show ‘Newlyweds: Nick + Jessica.’

Jessica who is launching her own range of lingerie had recently revealed that she couldn’t wait to model her own designs - because she knows she will look great in them.

Her younger sister, 21-year-old Ashlee, became the face of Victoria’s Secrets new collection last month.
