Well, it’s official and it came right from the singer’s mouth. Yesterday on Good Day Philadelphia Nick Lachey admitted that he and Vanessa Minnillo are once again a couple.

From the sound of it, the two weren’t apart for very long. They originally split in June but by early August there were many sightings of the couple and there was noticeable PDA going on.

When Nick was asked about his relationship status he said, “I am happy in a relationship. I was single for a minute, there, and then we’ve kinda patched things up.” He went on to say that Vanessa is smart….even smarter than him.

What is Nick up to these days? Currently his is touring the country on a bus with reverse auction site Winnet.com. The website was co-founded by Lachey as part of his Everybody Wins Tour, which benefits Feeding America.

After the actress repeatedly denied rumors of an imminent split, a rep for Vanessa Minnillo has finally confirmed that the model and television star has indeed ended her three-year relationship with actor Nick Lachey. A prepared statement said: “They have amicably split but remain good friends who care greatly for one another…it was the right thing for both of them to do.”

In April 2009 the buzz indicated that Minnillo and her 2008 Disaster Movie co-star Matt Lanter were having a fling. The actress down-played those rumors, saying the relationship with Lachey was solid and even hinted that an engagement was possible…which, as it turned out, was just smoke and mirrors.

The couple became an item in 2006 following closely on the heels of Lachey’s divorce from Jessica Simpson in 2005.

View more photos of the couple and some of Lanter and Minnillo below.

Where in the World is Nick Lachey?

Missy — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 16:20:42 +0000

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.

Is it just me or did Miss Teen USA 1998, Vanessa Minnillo slowly fall off of Hollywood’s radar screen when she started seeing former 98 Degrees singer, Nick Lachey? It is a rare occasion when we see her out and about and when we do she is usually being pulled around by Lachey.

Minnillo does have a role in the latest spoof movie Disaster along with two other hotties, Carmen Electra and Kim Kardashian. Probably not going to get her an award for Best Actress but hey she’s working!

Next up for the up and coming actress is the movie Redefining Love which will hit the big screen in 2009. Hopefully we will see more of Vanessa and her fun loving attitude soon.

Vanessa Minnillo and Nick Lachey were out and about in Los Angeles last night. The couple were photographed at Katsuya restaurant and later at the Crown nightclub in Hollywood.

Minnillo was crowned Miss Teen USA in 1998 and has enjoyed steady work as an on-air television personality for such networks as FOX, ESPN and MTV. She has also been a correspondent for Entertainment Tonight. She suffered some embarrassing publicity last year when a photo surfaced showing Minnillo and Lindsay Lohan posing provocatively with a knife.

Lachey is a singer, songwriter and actor who was married to Jessica Simpson until that union ended in divorce in 2006. The musician owns 1/3 of the Tacoma Rainiers baseball team – top farm club for the Seattle Mariners.

Lachey and pal Matt Leinart, Arizona Cardinals QB, made news when they were photographed at an underage drinking party with some hot college women. His latest ABC gig is set to premiere on July 20th when he will host High School Musical: Summer Session.

The couple moved in together in April 2007 after dating for a year. Rumors have circulated that they are engaged, and the blogs even reported their wedding late last year – though that tidbit turned out to be false.

Check out photos of the couple below.

Nick Lachey is a pop singer and actor who rose to fame in the late 90’s as the lead vocalist of the boy band 98 Degrees. The group, which included his brother Drew Lachey, sold over ten million records.

He also starred in the hit reality television show Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica. The series ran on MTV for four seasons. Lachey’s marriage to Jessica Simpson ended nearly two years ago. His current girlfriend is Vanessa Minnillo. The former Miss Teen USA had a three year on and off relationship with Derek Jeter before hooking up with Nick.

What has Nick been up to lately? He premiered a new song Ordinary Day in December on The Oprah Winfrey Show. He also appeared on NBC’s Clash of the Choirs where his choir won the four day competition and the $250,000 prize which was donated to charity.

The 34-year-old singer has signed on to host the upcoming ABC reality show High School Musical: Summer Session, costarring Zac Efron, Ashley Tisdale and Vanessa Hudgens. The program debuts July 20, and will air Sundays and Mondays for three weeks before settling into a Monday time slot. The winner will be named in mid-September. Open casting calls are planned in Long Beach, CA and Orlando, Florida. Contestants must be age 16 through 22. Early episodes of the show will feature the audition process.

Lachey made headlines recently for his part in an underage drinking party at the home of his friend, Matt Leinart. The Arizona Cardinal’s quarterback brought some unwanted publicity down on himself and Lacey when photos of the party hit the internet. NFL head coach Ken Whisenhunt was apparently not amused and had a serious conversation with the football jock, reminding him of the requirements for remaining the head quarterback.

We’ve included the party photos below.

Vanessa Minnillo and Nick Lachey’s plans for keeping their wedding a secret didn’t work out so well.

The couple headed to the Bahamas this weekend to wed at one of the Carlyle hotels. Minnillo’s entourage arrived on Friday according to FoxNews.com Pop Tarts columnist Hollie McKay.

I’m sure throngs of paparazzi are swarming the Bahamas as we speak.

Lachey’s ex, Jessica Simpson said in an interview earlier this year that she was hurt when Nick jumped back into the dating scene so early after their split. I can’t imagine what she must be feeling about the news of his nuptials. Ouch.
