Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey's recent trip to Italy was a last-ditch attempt to save their marriage, according to music manager Lou Pearlman.
After denying a barrage of reports that their marriage is on the rocks, the pop couple left their Los Angeles home for a romantic trip to Italy earlier this month.
And, while the pair maintain their relationship is still strong, Pearlman, who represents Lachey's friend and former 98 Degrees bandmate Jeff Timmons, claims he's heard the couple are struggling.
He tells Star magazine, "Timmons says Nick told him, 'My marriage is shaky right now. I'm hoping this trip will turn things around.
"'This trip could be a second honeymoon -- or preparation for a divorce. I don't know what's going to happen, and Jessica doesn't know what's going to happen, but we're going to give it our best shot.'"
Representatives for the couple deny the claims.

Imagine a world where you are married to the love of your life, you are so happy together, but your lives are so public that it is very difficult to have any quality alone time with your soulmate. You do a few stupid things in marriage, such as allow a TV crew to film your first year of marriage and loading the media with a false claim about your hardships because your sister did a ho-down on TV when she realized she was lip syncing the wrong song. After months and months of the media saying your marriage is on the rocks you begin to believe that it truly is because marriage isn't as easy as you had expected it to be so everyone must be right about how bad off your marriage is, right?
I wish celebrities could truly have a private private life, but in this case it seems that Nick and Jess are letting the rumors get the best of them. They are obviously not without fault, but it would seem to me that now more than ever we should give them support by not making up new stories, not focusing on every little fight they have, not focusing on the "ring watch". Let's just leave them alone so they can figure out if their marriage will survive. Okay? Okay.

I always feel this about celebrity couples - British royal family being the people I get most worked up about ... I wouldn't even say I'm in favour of us *having* a royal family, but for goodness sake! They're people too! Leave them alone!
They shouldn't escape the trials, but we don't need to enable them to make irrational decisions based on possible lies or social pressures. (How's that for rationale after midnight?)
