Vanessa and Nick Lachey: ‘We Have no Regrets Because We Put our Family First’
By Movieguide® Contributor
Though Vanessa Lachey has recently graced the small screen in a variety of programs, her proudest accomplishment is her family.
Vanessa currently stars in NCIS: HAWAII, as well as working as a cohost on the dating shows LOVE IS BLIND and THE ULTIMATUM. She also shares three kids — Camden, 9, Brooklyn, 7, and Phoenix, 5 — with husband Nick Lachey.
“I have a great support system in my husband and I don’t take that for granted,” she told Fox News. “I know there are a lot of single parents out there, a lot of parents just struggling to not have family or help around. I’m very grateful to have them.”
She continued, “My husband and I have always said to put family first, which at the end of the day, if something doesn’t work out with a career choice or a work situation, we have no regrets because we put our family first.”
For example, the decision to move to Hawaii so Vanessa could star in NCIS: HAWAII.
“To be on ‘NCIS: Hawai’i,’ the first choices we made were, ‘What would this do to our children and how beneficial will this be for our family?’ and all the signs pointed to ‘We needed to move to Hawaii,’” she explained. “We were able to mix business and pleasure.”
Vanessa and Nick have been together for 16 years, tying the knot in 2011.
Movieguide® previously reported on the couple’s relationship:
Vanessa Lachey said that quarantine has helped her and her husband, Nick Lachey, learn to communicate better.
“I found that [quarantine has] allowed me and my husband to learn how to communicate better because when we aren’t communicating on the same page, we are shorter tempered and not as patient,” she told Fox News.
Vanessa married the multi-talented Nick Lachey in 2011. The couple now has three kids together.
“You don’t want to be that way,” she added. “You don’t [want] to be snappy and punchy around your kids or to your spouse or to your friends. So we’ve learned how to take a beat and communicate better.”
Speaking of her children, the former TRL host explained that the “safety and well-being” of her youngsters have been her main focus.
As Vanessa and Nick wait to learn the fate of their children’s school year, she’s giving them “as much emotional confidence as they [need] by telling them how amazing they are and how great they’re still going to be.”
The mom of three still plans to take her kids’ annual “First Day of School” photo and keep their routine as normal as possible.
She encouraged other mothers not to forget to take care of themselves as they care for their families during this time.
“When your cup is full, you can be a better mom and a better wife and a better friend,” she said.
