Nick Lachey doesn't allow work-related worries to 'bleed over'
Nick Lachey tries to "compartmentalise" his work life. The 51-year-old star has been married to his wife Vanessa since 2011, and Nick has now revealed the secret to their happy marriage. Nick - who has co-hosted 'Love Is Blind' alongside Vanessa for the last five years - told the 'Richer Lives' podcast: "I think the best thing you can do is not bring your work home with you. Which is tricky when you work with your spouse. "I think we do a really good job of doing that, for the most part, but it's not easy working with your spouse sometimes." Nick feels it would be easy to allow work-related problems to "bleed over" into their home life. However, the TV star has managed to "compartmentalise" different parts of his life. He said: "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. And sometimes there's arguments at work that bleed over. "You don't want that, so, you know, I think it's kind of good to compartmentalise and recognise that you're here doing a job. Yes, you're a married couple, and we've been together almost 20 years now, so I think that's our golden rule, is don't bring work home, don't bring home to work. Try and keep it as separate as you can." Nick previously explained that the loved-up couple always "make time to prioritise each other". The TV star also admitted that parenthood has changed his love life. Nick - who has Camden, 12, Brooklyn, ten, and Phoenix, eight, with Vanessa - told People: "Sometimes you have to be deliberate. You have to make deliberate attempts because the spontaneity, the romance, whatever you want to call it that existed pre-kids, it just can't exist the same way. "And I would argue that it shouldn't exist the same way because your priority should be your kid, but you have to also make time to prioritise each other. And if you lose sight of that and lose track of that, then I think that's when you can get into some trouble."

Nick Lachey makes rare comment on 'totally unexpected' part of marriage with ex-wife Jessica Simpson
Nick Lachey is happily married to longtime wife Vanessa Lachey, and they share three children. But more than twenty years ago the 51-year-old former boy bander's life looked a lot different. While appearing on the podcast Richer Lives this week, Lachey opened up about his first marriage to his ex-wife, 44-year-old singer-actress Jessica Simpson. The two starred on MTV's Newlyweds, which followed them as they settled into living together as husband and wife. 'Newlyweds obviously became a huge reality show,' Nick reflected. 'The only one that had come out before that was The Osbournes, which was also a massive show. But that show was created as a vehicle to promote music.' He said that the show's success and three-season run was 'totally unexpected.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'You know, my ex-wife had an album coming out, [I] had an album coming out, I'll do a little six-episode thing to promote the album,' he explained about what motivated them to sign on to the series. 'We had no idea it was going to take on this other life of being this reality fly-on-the-wall type of show. So that was totally unexpected,' the Ohio native shared. The show lasted from 2003-2005, spawning three seasons during that time. Nick and Jessica's three-year marriage ended shortly after, in 2006. Amid the breakdown of the marriage, the cameras briefly rolled again for Nick's What's Left of Me documentary special. The Hollywood hunk also dished on the strict rule he and Jessica were given in regards to the camera crew. 'I remember at first they were like, "Don't talk to the crew. They're a fly on the wall!" And I was like, "Guys, if this is ever going to work, that's just not how I'm wired. You're not going to be in my house and watch my every move and we're not going to talk to each other. We got to get past that right now,"' he revealed. 'So 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.' Following their divorce, Jessica went on to have high-profile romances with John Mayer and Tony Romo before eventually marrying former NFL star Eric Johnson. They share three kids: daughters Maxwell, 13, and Birdie, six, and son Ace, 12 in June. In January their split was announced after ten years of marriage, with Simpson saying in a public statement that they 'had been living separately and navigating a painful situation' in their relationship. Meanwhile, Nick and Vanessa are going strong and star together as co-hosts of Netflix's Love Is Blind and The Ultimatum. On Richer Lives, Lachey spoke about balancing work and personal life with his wife. 'I think the best thing you can do is not bring your work home with you, which is tricky when you work with your spouse,' he offered. 'I think we do a really good job of doing that, for the most part, but it's not easy working with your spouse sometimes.' He added, '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. And sometimes there's arguments at work that bleed over,' he explained. The couple are parents to sons Camden, 12, and Phoenix, eight, and daughter Brooklyn, 10.

Nick Lachey shocked by Newlyweds success
Nick Lachey underestimated the impact of 'Newlyweds'. The hit reality TV series focused on Nick's marriage to Jessica Simpson and ran for three seasons between 2003 and 2005 - but Nick never imagined that it would become so popular. The 51-year-old star - who was married to Jessica from 2002 until 2006 - told 'Richer Lives': "'Newlyweds' obviously became a huge reality show. The only one that had come out before that was 'The Osbournes', which was also a massive show. But that show was created as a vehicle to promote music. "You know, my ex-wife had an album coming out, [I] had an album coming out, I'll do a little six-episode thing to promote the album. We had no idea it was going to take on this other life of being this reality fly-on-the-wall type of show. So that was totally unexpected." Nick initially struggled to adjust to being followed by cameras. However, the 98 Degrees star ultimately developed a strong bond with the camera crew, likening them to "family". He shared: "I remember at first they were like, 'Don't talk to the crew. They're a fly on the wall!' And I was like, 'Guys, if this is ever going to work, that's just not how I'm wired. You're not going to be in my house and watch my every move and we're not going to talk to each other. We got to get past that right now.' So 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 [a] family." Nick's relationship with Jessica fell apart shortly after season three, but he still took some positives from his time on 'Newlyweds'. The 'Love Is Blind' co-host - who has been married to his second wife, Vanessa, since 2011 - explained: "What reality TV did for me is it allowed me to introduce myself as Nick Lachey, the person, to the world, and even guys around me [were like], 'He's kind of cool. I'd have a beer with that guy.' … It allowed me to become very comfortable being myself."

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.

98 Degrees members reveal reason why they are loved by Filipino fans
The '90s vocal group 98 Degrees has received an outpouring of love from their Filipino fans, thanks to their timeless hits and undeniable charm. But beyond their musical talent and good looks, what do they think makes them so beloved by Filipinos? During the group's guesting in 'Fast Talk With Boy Abunda' on Tuesday, Nick Lachey said that it is their love songs that connected them with their Filipino fans. 'I think more than anywhere else in the world, people here really truly love love songs, right? And ballads. And that's kind of what we've always been known for. It's our bread and butter,' Nick said. 'So, I think it's just a match made in heaven. You know, we sing love songs and everyone here really seems to appreciate and enjoy those love songs,' he added. Meanwhile, his brother Drew credited the Filipino music culture for their group's success in the Philippines. 'I feel like that's another thing. Like, music is such a culture of the Filipino. It's such an ingrained part of the culture that, you know, for us, we got off the planes here in 1997 and we were instantly, like, felt like we were rock stars and embraced. So, it really is a great relationship,' he shared. During their guesting, Jeff also spoke about the respect they have for SB19 and how it was on their wishlist to collaborate with the P-Pop Kings. 'We have a lot of respect for what they do. The K-pop elements and yet Filipino twinge and style and vibe that they have, we think that is a perfect storm and kinda connects with what we do,' he shared, adding that they would love the opportunity to collaborate with them. 98 Degrees, composed of brothers Nick and Drew Lachey, Jeff Timmons, and Justin Jeffre, is best known for the hit songs 'I Do (Cherish You)" "The Hardest Thing," and 'Because of You,' among others. The group is currently in the Philippines for their two-night concert at the SM Mall of Asia Arena on May 30 and 31, which will feature performances by OPM acts Janine Tenoso and Katrina Velarde. —Jade Veronique Yap/CDC, GMA Integrated News
