American singer, songwriter, actor, producer, and television personality. He rose to fame as the lead singer of the multi-platinum selling boy band 98 Degrees, and later starred in the reality television series Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica with his then-wife, Jessica Simpson.
He has released four solo albums: SoulO (2003), What’s Left of Me (2006), A Father’s Lullaby (2013), and Soundtrack of My Life (2014). He is also known for his recurring role as Leslie St. Claire on the television series Charmed. He hosted NBC’s The Sing-Off, co-hosted VH1’s Big Morning Buzz Live from 2014 to 2015, and now hosts Nickelodeon’s America’s Most Musical Family, and co-hosts the Netflix show Love is Blind with his wife Vanessa Lachey. Lachey is also on the Entertainment Council of the hunger-relief organization Feeding America.
In December 1998, Lachey and fellow singer Jessica Simpson were introduced by their shared manager at a Christmas event. They subsequently began dating after meeting again at a Teen People event in January 1999, but broke up for five months beginning in April 2001 until getting back together following the 11 September attacks. They became engaged in February 2002, and married on 26 October 2002, in Austin, Texas. In November 2005, after months of tabloid speculation, Lachey and Simpson announced they were separating. Simpson filed for divorce on 16 December 2005, citing “irreconcilable differences.” The couple’s divorce was publicized worldwide and was reportedly finalized on 30 June 2006.
Soon after the release of What’s Left of Me, Lachey’s 2006 music video starring Vanessa Minnillo, he and Minnillo began dating. They briefly broke up in June 2009, but by October 2009, Lachey confirmed that they were back together after having been “single for a minute”. Lachey and Minnillo became engaged in November 2010, and married on 15 July 2011, on Sir Richard Branson’s private Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands. The wedding was filmed and televised on TLC. They have three children together: a son born in September 2012, a daughter born in January 2015 and another son born in December 2016.
