The Jessica Simpson-Nick Lachey Relationship Deathwatch Corps got out the ashes and sackcloth this week.

Life & Style Weekly reports that friends of the made-for-TV twosome say the couple already are secretly separated.

"Some of Nick and Jessica's friends are saying the decision to split up has already been made," offers the magazine's spy. "They may already be history, and they're just waiting for the right time to make the announcement."
