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

10 potential undrafted free agents the Eagles could target after the 2025 NFL draft
10 potential undrafted free agents the Eagles could target after the 2025 NFL draft With the seventh round coming to a close, here are ten potential undrafted prospects the Philadelphia Eagles could look to sign. The Eagles have made all their picks: — Dave Zangaro (@DZangaroNBCS) April 26, 2025 The Eagles-related portion of the draft is over after Howie Roseman added versatility and firepower on both sides of the football. Philadelphia always takes an urgent look at the undrafted free agent pool of prospects, and 2025 will be no different. Reed Blankenship is the latest undrafted player to succeed, and this draft class offers a ton of potential that wasn't selected. Gabe Hall is among the players we predicted would land in Eagles training camp. With the seventh round coming to a close, here are ten potential undrafted prospects the Philadelphia Eagles could look to sign. Luke Lachey, TE, Iowa A native of Ohio, Lachey enjoyed a 'breakout' season as a redshirt sophomore in 2022 when he recorded 28 receptions for 398 yards and four touchdowns. The following season, Lachey suffered a season-ending injury after three games. In the full two games he played that season, Lachey recorded 10 receptions for 131 yards. This past season, Lachey recorded 28 receptions for 231 yards. Xavier Restrepo, WR, Miami His pro day performance, which included 40-yard dash times in the 4.8-5.1 range, raised some concerns about his draft stock, although he still possesses elite skills as a slot receiver. Roseman and 31 other GMs will have to weigh his slow 40-yard dash time against his production from last season, when he hauled in 69 receptions for 1,127 yards (16.3 yards per catch average). Restrepo lacks deep speed, but could have a Cooper Kupp-like impact in the slot, and he's elusive in the open field and hard to bring down. Restrepo was a consensus All-American in 2024 when he rewrote the Hurricanes' record books. He finished his career with 200 catches for 2,844 yards and 21 touchdowns. Jared Ivey, DE, Ole Miss The 6-foot-6, 285-pound Ivey totaled 125 tackles, five pass deflections, two forced fumbles, and 16 sacks in three seasons with the Rebels. Cobee Bryant, CB, Kansas What he lacks in size, Bryant more than makes up for with his aggressive play on the outside at the cornerback position. Tez Johnson, WR, Oregon Johnson uses his speed to stack cornerbacks out of press or overtake off-man coverage. Logan Brown, OL, Kansas The 6-foot-6, 315-pound offensive tackle spent four seasons at Wisconsin from 2019-2022. After redshirting his freshman season, he appeared in 26 games, including three starts, for the Badgers before entering the transfer portal in November 2022. Brown logged 13 total appearances at Kansas over two years before deciding to go pro. LeQuint Allen, RB, Syracuse Allen is a Millville, New Jersey, native. The versatile running back posted 2,085 rushing yards and 30 total touchdowns over his final two seasons at Syracuse. Joshua Gray, OL, Oregon State Last season, Gray p;ayed in and started all 12 games and ended his career with an Oregon State-record 56 career games Jah Joyner, Edge, Minnesota Ricky White, WR, UNLV White has been one of the top receivers in the nation over the past two seasons at UNLV after transferring from Michigan State. The 6-foot-1, 190-pounder had a dominant 2023, earning All-American honors with an 80-catch, 1,314-yard, seven-touchdown season. White followed it up by recording 79 receptions for 1,014 yards and 11 scores in 2024. Kaimon Rucker, Edge Rusher, UNC Connor Colby, OL, Iowa Donovan Edwards, RB, Michigan Marcus Yarns, RB, Delaware Alijah Huzzie, Slot CB, UNC A potential contributor at the slot cornerback spot, Huzzie is aggressive and stays around the football despite lacking elite size (5-9 1/4, 194). Huzzie earned an honorable mention in All-ACC honors with the Tar Heels after transferring from East Tennessee State. Traeshon Holden, WR, Oregon Holden declared for the NFL Draft after spending two seasons at Oregon under coach Dan Lanning. Holden has 19 career touchdowns and played the first two seasons of his collegiate career with the Alabama Crimson Tide, where he posted 46 catches for 570 yards and seven touchdowns. He arrived in Eugene in 2023 and became an immediate contributor in the passing game for Bo Nix, finishing the Fiesta Bowl-winning season with 37 grabs for 452 yards, six touchdowns, and one rushing score. 9. Nick Nash, Wide Receiver, San Jose State A Biletnikoff Award finalist, the 6-foot-3 senior took home college football's triple crown, leading the nation in receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns.
