It's been reported that Nick Lachey, singer in the band 98 degrees and a TV personality, is to be wed to long term girlfriend, Vanessa Millinno. The 36 year old, Lachey was previously married to star singer and actor Jessica Simpson and the two starred in an MTV reality show about their lives together, called "Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica."
Lachey now serves as host of NBC's "The Sing-Off whilst the 29-year-old Minnillo is the host of ABC's "True Beauty.
"They're so happy, doing great," a source adds. "Thrilled about it." According to another source, Lachey proposed with an Asscher-cut diamond with baguettes from Bader & Garrin. "I popped the question on bended knee," Lachey tweeted Thursday. "I do a lot of squats so my knees are very strong." The two began dating in 2006, following his highly-publicized divorce from Jessica Simpson. Though they briefly split last summer, they got back together a short time later. The engagement was first reported by Us magazine.
So more wedding bells for the former boyband star Lachey, who found moderate success in the boyband 98 degrees in the late 90's along with contempories like the Backstreet boys and N*sync.
