Jessica Simpson has reportedly splashed out on a $3million Beverly Hills home, just weeks after splitting from husband Nick Lachey.

The 'Newlyweds' beauty - who has filed for divorce after three years of marriage - is said to be thrilled to have found a new home.

A source told America's People magazine: "She's happy to have a house that's hers.

"This is the first time she's making her own decisions."

Jessica filed for divorce shortly before Christmas, citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the pair's split last November.

According to court papers, the sexy blonde requested that Nick is not awarded spousal support after they separate. She is also legally reverting back to her maiden name after changing it to Jessica Lachey.

The singer-turned-actress has hired divorce Robert Kaufman to represent her, while Nick has enlisted the help of lawyer Laura Wasser.
