Love Is Blind Season 9: Host Vanessa Lachey Teases Major Twist In The Upcoming Season
Last Updated: As the premiere date nears, co-host Vanessa Lachey has spilt some big twists that are going to take place in season 9. Love Is Blind returns for its ninth season on October 1, exclusively on Netflix. This popular reality series brings together a new group of singles in Denver, where they'll form deep connections, fall in love, and even get engaged, all without ever laying eyes on each other. With fresh faces and unexpected twists, the upcoming season promises another dramatic journey into love, sight unseen. As the premiere date approaches, co-host Vanessa Lachey has revealed some major twists set to unfold in Season 9. In an interview with E! News, Lachey said, 'Something happens in Denver. That has never happened on any of the Love Is Blind." Although she didn't disclose many details, Lachey emphasised that this season's cast has a unique character, influenced by Denver's culture. 'The beauty of Love Is Blind being in different cities is that you get the character of that season, that city," Lachey said. She noted that in some cities, people prioritise their careers, while in others, faith takes precedence, and in some, drinking holds more importance. 'It varies…so you can imagine what Denver's going to be," she added. Although singles join the show in pursuit of love, not every couple makes it down the aisle. While there have been a few success stories, such as Lauren Speed-Hamilton and Cameron Hamilton from Season 1, or Daniel Hastings and Taylor Haag from Season 8, the series has also seen its fair share of heartbreaks. One of the most talked-about moments came in Season 6, when Chelsea Blackwell and Jimmy Presnell split shortly after filming wrapped, sparking widespread attention from fans. However, it was not just their breakup that grabbed the attention. While being on the show, Chelsea claimed she resembled Megan Fox. Her comment was met with huge backlash on the internet, making her address the severe criticism. During an interview with E! News, Chelsea mentioned, 'I think people went way too hard." Her remarks came after Jimmy accused her of being dishonest about her looks and appearance on the show, although he later admitted to mishandling the situation and resolved the matter. After the season came to an end and Chelsea parted ways with Jimmy, she looked back at the incident and said, 'Now, it's just going to be a joke, and I'll never live it down. It's just funny," as per E! News. Putting behind all the past dramas, the show is gearing up to launch a new season with fresh faces on their way to find true love amid all uncertainties and unexpected twists. view comments First Published: July 19, 2025, 17:18 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Jessica Simpson's Ex-Nick Lachey Opens Up About Crying On The Set Of Their Show
Jessica Simpson's ex-husband, Nick Lachey, is getting candid about a tearful moment he shared with her during the final days of filming their MTV reality show "Newlyweds." Lachey's latest revelation adds to reflections he shared in 2024 when he spoke candidly about the emotional "scars" left by his and Simpson's highly publicized marriage. Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey's romance began at the 1998 Hollywood Christmas Parade. They got engaged in 2002, tied the knot that same year, and divorced in 2006. As Lachey looked back on his "Newlyweds" days, he remembered the emotions that came with saying goodbye to more than just the cameras. The star revealed he broke down in tears on the last day of filming the MTV reality show that chronicled his early 2000s marriage to Simpson. After three seasons of having cameras follow their daily lives, it was not the spotlight or the fame that hit him hardest; it was saying goodbye to the crew, who had become like family. Lachey explained: "I actually came to really love the crew. I remember crying the day we shut down because you develop relationships with them. They really became family." During his interview on the "Richer Lives" podcast, he noted that he grew close to the production crew despite early instructions to avoid connecting with them. In his words: "At first they said, 'Don't talk to the crew. They're just a fly on the wall.' But I told them, 'That's not how I work. You're in my house every day — we're going to talk.'" Before opening up about the emotional moment he cried while wrapping "Newlyweds," Lachey had already revisited the pain of his split from Simpson. The Blast reported that last year, the 51-year-old reflected on his high-profile first marriage during season three of Netflix's "The Ultimatum." Speaking to a contestant going through a rough patch, Lachey shared that he, too, had lived through a divorce and carried the emotional scars that came with it. "I, too, was previously married, divorced. I understand the hurt, the scars that exist from that," Lachey said, acknowledging the lasting impact of that chapter in his life. Still, he emphasized the importance of healing and growth, encouraging others not to let past pain dictate what comes next. He credited his positive outlook and belief in second chances for leading him to his current marriage with Vanessa Lachey, whom he wed in 2011 and now shares a family with. While Lachey moved on and married Vanessa, Simpson tied the knot with Eric Johnson in 2014. But by 2024, signs pointed to possible strain in their relationship. The former NFL star was seen walking through Los Angeles without his wedding ring, a detail that quickly drew attention. Photos showed Johnson dressed casually but noticeably without the band he had worn for years. Before then, some noticed Simpson had also stopped wearing her ring. The missing jewelry was first spotted in a promotional post, and again on Valentine's Day, sparking speculation that something might be off behind the scenes. Though the singer had largely moved on from the spotlight surrounding his past with Simpson, headlines found him again after a run-in with a paparazzo resulted in court-ordered anger management classes. The Blast reported that the incident took place on March 27, 2022, outside a Beverly Hills restaurant. Lachey was leaving with his wife, Vanessa, when he became aggressive with photographer Jody Santos, who was snapping photos of the couple. Santos filed a police report, and Lachey was later charged with assault and battery. While he avoided formal prosecution, he was required to attend anger management sessions and Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. Santos shared: "He has to complete anger management and AA within a reasonable time, which is like a year or so. If he fails to do so, they will move forward to prosecute him with noncompliance, and he will get arrested." Lachey acknowledged he lost his cool during a heated run-in with Santos, but his response did not sit well with her. The songwriter claimed the photographer had taken unsolicited photos of him, his wife, and a friend while they were leaving a restaurant. He later admitted his reaction went too far, stating: "I clearly overreacted. I've been in this game long enough to know that their antics are sadly part of the deal. Stupid of me. Done." Despite his public comments, Santos said she never received a direct apology. She accused Lachey of downplaying the situation and shifting blame onto her. "Nick hasn't taken any responsibility," she said, adding, "A personal apology was declined, then a written apology was declined. No one from his team has reached out and asked, 'Are you ok?'"

Nick Lachey got emotional the day he and Jessica Simpson stopped filming their reality show, Newlyweds
Nick & Jessica premiered in 2004, it wasn't merely a reality show—it was a movement. Two decades plus later, Nick Lachey is looking back at the show's impact and how it profoundly affected a moment of his life. Appearing on the May 27 episode of the Richer Lives by SoFi podcast, Lachey, 51, opened up about the pioneering series that documented his early years of marriage with pop star Jessica Simpson . While originally designed as a marketing vehicle for their music careers, the show quite literally became something greater—and more intimate. "Because that show was made as a vehicle to promote music," Lachey remembered. "My former wife had an album release, I had an album release. 'Hey, we'll do a short little six-episode thing about our albums releasing so that we can release our music.' We had no sense it was going to become this other thing this reality, fly-on-the-wall kind of show. So, that was completely a surprise." Nick and Jessica's fairy-tale persona—and the real chemistry they experienced—captivated audiences at once. Their silly sparring, real moments, and even cringe-worthy misunderstandings (who won't remember the infamous "Is this chicken or is this fish?" scene) made them America's favorite couple.

Lachey admitted that during the initial filming days, there were strict guidelines on how the couple should act in front of the crew. "Remember initially they were like, 'Don't talk to the crew. They're a fly on the wall!'" Lachey explained. "And I was like, 'Guys, if this ever is going to happen, that's just not how I'm made. You're not going to be in my house and observe my every action, and we're not going to communicate with each other. We needed to get over that now." Though its original intention, Newlyweds provided audiences with a real, unscripted glimpse of a celebrity wedding—something that wasn't seen much back then. It spawned the new wave of reality TV and gave both Lachey and Simpson an unprecedented amount of exposure. The show lasted for three seasons until the couple's eventual breakup in 2005. And while their marriage didn't work out, the memory of that experience lingered on with Lachey. He confessed on the podcast that it was hard to say goodbye to Newlyweds. It was, after all, more than just a show—a time capsule of a pivotal era in his life. As reality TV has grown up, Newlyweds is still a nostalgic reference point for viewers and an individual milestone for Lachey. And for him, it will always be greater than the sum of its parts—it was a lived experience, replete with memories, love, and lessons that still resonate.

Nick Lachey co-hosts 'Love is Blind' with his wife Vanessa and says they follow a 'golden rule' to keep their marriage strong
Nick Lachey and his wife, Vanessa, host Netflix's "Love is Blind" together. He says they follow a "golden rule" that keeps their marriage strong, even while working together. "Try and keep it as separate as you can," Nick Lachey said. Working with your spouse isn't easy, and that's why Nick Lachey and his wife, Vanessa, have a strict rule about mixing business and their personal lives. During an appearance on Wednesday's episode of " Richer Lives by SoFi" podcast, Lachey spoke about what it's like to co-host " Love is Blind" with his wife. "I think the best thing you can do is not bring your work home with you," Lachey told host Vivian Tu. "Which is tricky when you work with your spouse, you know, and I think we do a really good job of doing that for the most part." The 98 Degrees boy band member says that he and his wife try to set clear boundaries: Whatever happens at work stays at work, and vice versa. "Sometimes you show up for work and there's an argument at home that you brought with you to work, and you don't want that to bleed over," he said. "I think it's kind of good to compartmentalize and recognize that, you know, you're here doing a job," he said. The couple started dating in 2006 and got married in 2011. They share three children together. They began hosting Netflix's " Love is Blind" in 2020, now in its eighth season. In 2022, they also started hosting another Netflix reality dating show together, " The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On." "So, I think that's our golden rule. It's 'Don't bring work home. Don't bring home to work.' Try and keep it as separate as you can," Lachey said. In a joint interview with Brides in February, the couple shared that they go to marriage therapy and set aside two days a week to prioritize their relationship. "Anything that's worth having takes work," Lachey told Brides. "To me, that's a cornerstone of life, and marriage is no different. There's no shame in that." Lachey isn't the only star sharing insights on what it takes to maintain a strong relationship with their spouses. Jay Shetty and his wife run a business together, and like the Lacheys, they avoid talking about work over dinner. Gordon Ramsay and his wife, Tana, make it a point to dress up and go on regular date nights. On the other hand, there are celebrity couples who would rather not work with each other — like Usher and his music executive wife.

Texans 2025 draft pick profile:TE Luke Lachey
Texans 2025 draft pick profile:TE Luke Lachey If anyone can get great play out of tight ends, it's new Houston Texans offensive coordinator Nick Caley. That seems to be the hope surrounding the selection of Iowa tight end Luke Lachey, who heads to Houston at the ninth and final pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Texans aren't expecting Lachey to become a forceful impact in the passing game as the newest weapon for C.J. Stroud in 2025. Most fans would take a blocking-only tight end with upside in the red zone as a "win" on paper for the Hawkeyes' strategy. Lachey joined the Hawkeyes in 2020 and played in one game before redshirting. A year later, the 6-foot-5 tight end played in all 13 games with three starts and caught eight passes for 133 yards. He caught 28 passes for 398 yards and four touchdowns in 2022 before electing to come back for another season. In 2024, Lachey caught 28 passes for 231 yards. He caught 10 passes for 131 yards two As a sophomore, he caught 28 passes for 398 yards and four touchdowns. Here's a quick rundown on Lachey: The Basics Height: 6-foot-6 Weight: 251 pounds Age: 23 From: Grandview Heights, Ohio Breakdown "Lachey is a fluid athlete at 6-foot-4 and 250 pounds with the commitment and power to be a good run blocker. He's smooth out of his breaks and could become a solid TE2/3 for the Texans' offense in time." - USA Today's Ayrton Ostly Lance Zierlein's Scouting Report 'Combination tight end capable of lining up in-line or as a move tight end,' Zierlein wrote. 'While Lachey can do both, he lacks the core strength and consistency of a typical 'Y' tight end and has average quickness to escape man coverage on the next level. He has experience operating underneath and as an intermediate target, using proper leverage in his routes and good body control, along with strong hands, when contested. He has NFL size but needs to prove he can more consistently sustain as a run blocker in order to become a trustworthy, three-down player in the league. Unless that happens, he's likely to be fighting for a role as a TE3 or TE4." RAS Score Grade: A- The Texans needed a blocking tight end with upside in the passing game. That's Lachey, who might make the roster simply because of his blocking skills. - Texans Wire's Cole Thompson Highlights
