Singer/Actress Jessica Simpson has never been happier following her divorce, because she has discovered a new perspective on life.

Simpson split from former boy band star Nick Lachey in November after a stormy three-year marriage which was documented on the reality TV show 'Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica'.

And she is convinced she can now realise all of her career ambitions, after her divorce went through in June.

She says, "I feel free, independent and strong. Once I realised how much I really did want from life, I took on a whole new perspective."
