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.

'Love Is Blind' hosts Nick and Vanessa Lachey talk about controversy surrounding Netflix dating show
The reality TV dating show Love Is Blind is back for Season 8 on Netflix, with singles in Minnesota hoping to make romantic connections that lead to marriage. Hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey, the singles once again move from making an emotional connection in the pods, where they can't see each other, to exploring if that connection lasts in the real world. Love Is Blind has been a massive hit for Netflix and has resulted in 13 marriages before this new season. It quickly became an addictive, binge-worthy watch, with many people around the world glued to their screens. But it's also been the topic of significant controversy, including a series a lawsuits and misconduct allegations from previous participants on the show. In 2023, Insider published a piece titled "Love Is Blind is hell on earth: Contestants say producers deprived them of food and sleep, preyed on their anxieties, and refused to let them quit," in which several contestants told the publication that being on the show was a "traumatic" experience and that they were uncomfortable with the conditions while filming the show. Jeremy Hartwell, who was on Season 2 of Love Is Blind, claimed the producers "deprived them of food, water and sleep, plied them with booze." Hartwell did not get engaged on the show and was given minimal screen time in the season. The lawsuit has since been settled. Just last year Season 5 participant Renee Poche filed a lawsuit against Netflix and production company Delirium TV. While her relationship didn't appear in the final cut of the season, Poche claimed that she was forced to spend time with her abusive ex, according to the initial report from Variety. When she spoke about her Love Is Blind experience publicly, the production company then filed a US$4 million lawsuit against her for violating her nondisclosure agreement. That arbitration is still taking place behind closed doors. Love Is Blind is also far from the first or only reality TV show to face criticism and lawsuits, with several allegations about shows like Love Island, American Idol and The Challenge, some going back decades. But with more and more instances of Love Is Blind being described as a "toxic" experience publicly, what makes people want to be on the show? In early episodes of Season 8, we already see a singles identifying that it's this specific dating format that they were interested in seeking out. While there are certainly a lot of factors that go into someone choosing to being on a show like Love Is Blind, the show's hosts have seen some people's motivations for participating. "It's that simplistic thing that ... everybody, not just in the United States or Canada, everybody in the world wants to be loved for who they are," Vanessa Lachey told Yahoo Canada. "You want to know that you love me for me. You love all the good about me, all the crazy about me, all the quirks about me. You love me. And this is an opportunity to give them that chance to fall in love for who they are." But Vanessa Lachey went on to stressed that the singles can't entirely understand exactly what it takes to be on a reality show, an experience that can't be replicated before they're in it. "I don't think people understand what they're signing up for at times," she said. "It really breaks my heart when people are like, 'Oh you signed up for this. You get it.' ... No, you don't know what it's like to have a camera [on you at all times]." "Even in the pods, the cameras are hidden, so you actually get lost after eight to 10 hours of back-to-back dates. ... And then when you're in the real world, they've even said, 'This is weird. We're in a hot tub, and [someone's] standing right there with a camera.' You can't fully allow yourself to be comfortable. So I think that they don't understand that layer of it." While the goal is to make a positive connection on the show, unfortunately, the reality is that it's close to impossible for every single to really start a relationship from being on Love Is Blind. "We always tell them, ... we wish we could promise that everyone was going to find their person on the show," Nick Lachey said. "As we greet them for the very first time in the lounges, we always tell them, if you invest yourself wholly in this experience, if you go for it and you hold nothing back in your true, authentic self, you may not find your person, so to speak, but I promise you you'll leave here a changed person." "You will learn something about yourself or about relationships. You'll take something away from this experience that will be positive in your life. Moving forward, I think we've seen that." You may not find your person ... but I promise you you'll leave here a changed person.

'Love Is Blind' hosts Nick and Vanessa Lachey talk about why singles keep wanting to be on Netflix dating show
The hit Netflix reality TV dating show, Love Is Blind, is back for Season 8, with singles in Minnesota hoping to make lifelong romantic connections. Hosted by Nick Lachey and Vanessa Lachey, the show has seen 13 marriage before this new season, but has also faced significant controversy, including a number of lawsuits from previous contestants. Nick and Vanessa Lachey spoke to Yahoo Canada about what makes people continue to apply for the show. Particularly in Season 8 with many singles identifying that they want to use this format, specifically, to find love. This show, like, like a lot of reality shows, people have positive experiences, some people have negative experiences. This show has seen its fair share of kind of controversies and things that come up from people expressing their negative experiences. What do you think it is about the show that, you know, even despite some of those things, people still come back and for this season it does feel like people come back really with the intention of wanting this very specific. Experience to to potentially start their new life life. You know, we wish we could promise that everyone was going to find their person on the show, you know, and and but as we greet them for the very first time in the lounges, we always tell them that if you invest yourself wholly in this experience, if you go for it and you, you hold nothing back and in your true authentic self, you may not find your Person, so to speak, but promise you you'll leave here a changed person. You will learn something about yourself or about relationships. You'll take something away from this experience that will be positive in your life moving forward. And I think we've seen that, um, you know, we wish again everyone found their their forever person and and uh and sailed off into the sunset. Um, but I think more specifically, like. Each season because we say that to the cast, but I think when you're talking about people coming and so wanting to do the show because they don't always get to have us in the pods and they don't always air the conversations we have with them when we first meet them, but it's that simplistic thing that we've spoken about. Everybody, not just in the United States or Canada, everybody in the world wants to be loved for who they are. You want to know that you love me for me. You love all the good about me, all the crazy about me, all the quirks about me. You love me. And this is an opportunity to give them that chance to fall in love for who they are. And if they lean on their looks a little bit, which is, there's, it's neither here nor there, you have that opportunity when that layer is introduced. If you lean on the way that you live your life and you work and you're Family values, you have that opportunity to navigate that when it's introduced. But at the core of everything, it's the emotional fundamental values that they establish that carry them through everything that they can fall back on. And at the end of the day, everyone wants to be loved for who they are. I don't think people understand what they're signing up for. At times, you know, it really breaks my heart when people are like, oh, you signed up for this, you get it. They're like, no, you don't know what it's like to have a camera. Even in the pods, the cameras are hidden. So you actually get lost after 10, you know, I don't know, 8 to 10 hours of back to back dates. You forget that there's a camera hidden behind, and then when you're in the real world, they've even said, this is weird, we're in a hot tub and he's like standing right there with the camera. You can't fully allow yourself to be comfortable, so. I think that they don't understand that layer of it, but everybody just wants to be left for who they are. Some people in the end of it go, man, is that how I really talk? Is that how I really present myself? Even Leo became super self-deprecating. He's like, I didn't realize how much I didn't want to talk about my Rolex. And all I did was talk about my Rolex. He's like, ah, I'm an idiot, but he owned it. And he learned, and I bet he probably doesn't talk about it now on dates. Um, he just wears it. And you know, it's a, it's a, it's a really cool social experiment, but ultimately it's for love.
