Hope Diamond, Berfield’s publicist, confirmed the sale Tuesday, but wouldn’t disclose the price.

The 19-year-old Berfield plays the bullying middle child, Reese, on Fox’s “Malcolm in the Middle.”

The Mediterranean-style house, which includes a screening room and music studio, was the backdrop for the hit MTV show “Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica.”

Simpson, 25, filed for divorce last month from former “98 Degrees” star Lachey, 32.
