Has anyone seen Nick Lachey lately?  The last time we saw the former 98 Degrees singer was back in September when he co-hosted the Live with Regis and Kelly show.

The reason for our curiosity is because today is Nick’s 35th birthday.  Hopefully tomorrow we will have some great photos of him celebrating his ‘b’day with girlfriend and former MTV VJ Vanessa Minnillo, who is rarely photographed out in public.

One has to wonder if Lachey’s former wife Jessica Simpson is the reason for his need for privacy.  When the two were together, their union was open for the world to scrutinize on the MTV reality show Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica.

Photo gallery below.

Back in April Nick and his friend Matt Leinhart were photographed partying with underage girls – photos here.

Nick and Vanessa vacationed in Mexico where they were photographed in some pretty compromising positions here.
