Jessica Simpson knows her relationship with ex-boyfriend John Mayer was tumultuous.

The “Open Book” author, 39, sat down with “Today” co-anchor Hoda Kotb for an interview that airs Tuesday and admitted that there were positive and negative aspects to their love.

“We were great at intimacy,” she says in a preview clip. “We were great at loving each other. That was easy, but the relationship was very complex.”

Simpson noted that she and the “Your Body Is a Wonderland” crooner, 42, were on-again, off-again throughout the majority of their courtship.

“I went back close to nine times.”

The singer-turned-designer writes candidly in her memoir about her struggles with alcohol and pill addiction, as well as her relationship with Mayer that started in 2006. Of the latter, she told the New York Times she doesn’t care what he thinks about her words.

“I don’t think he’ll be shocked,” she told the publication. “He knows these stories.”

As for Simpson’s ex-husband Nick Lachey, he was recently overheard saying about her new tell-all: “I have not read a single word.”

Last week, the “A Public Affair” singer admitted she was drunk during a 2007 appearance on “Ellen.”
