Nick Lachey & Vanessa Minnillo: Back On!

Originally posted 10/08/2009 04:15PM

Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo split in June, but beginning in late August, sightings began cropping up of them together at nightclubs across the country – and in some instances they were engaged in some heavy PDA.

At the time, sources told PEOPLE that Lachey, 35, and Minnillo, 25, were merely "hanging out" and they were not officially back together.


Well, things have changed. "I am happy in a relationship," Lachey told Good Day Philadelphia on Thursday. "I was single for a minute, there, and then we've kind of patched things up." Lachey also described Minnillo as "a very smart girl. She's far smarter than I!"

Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo Get Cozy in Three Cities

Originally posted 09/04/2009 02:30PM

Some couples just can't stay apart – just ask Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo, who've been spotted rekindling their romance in three different cities in the last week.

The couple, who split in June after three years together, were spotted last weekend in Los Angeles making out in a booth at the bar Dime, completely unaware of anything in the world except each other.

Then, on Wednesday, the couple took it to the East Coast, where they hit a party at the bar McFadden's with Entourage star Kevin Connolly. Lachey, 35, and Minnillo, 28, called it a night early and left at the unfashionable hour of 9 p.m.

Just the next day, the pair decided to spread the love to the Midwest, and were spotted together at Cincinnati's new hot spot, The Righteous Room.

Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo have called it quits, reps for each confirm to PEOPLE.

"They have amicably split but remain good friends who still greatly care for one another," Minnillo's rep tells PEOPLE of the couple, who began dating in 2006.

The split comes after a rash of breakup rumors and reports, which were shot down. Earlier this month Minnillo told PEOPLE that she and Lachey were "very much still on."

A source says Minnillo, 28, and Lachey, 35, are "still friends. It was the right thing for both of them to do."

Memo to Nick Lachey: Vanessa Minnillo has marriage on the mind – and hand.

Pointing to a 5-carat ring on her middle finger, Minnillo, 28, tells Las Vegas columnist Robin Leach, "It will be 10 carats when it moves to the fourth finger!"

Leach says she was laughing when she said it. But in the course of a brief interview posted on his Vegas DeLuxe blog, Minnillo mentions marriage three times.

Noting that Lachey, 35, couldn't make it to Vegas with her because he was at a friend's birthday party, she pouted, "So once again it looks as if I'm always the bridesmaid but never the bride."

Unlike other guys, Nick Lachey doesn't have to choose between sports night and date night.

“I’m a huge sports fan and she’s a huge sports fan across the board, too,” Lachey, 35, tells PEOPLE of his girlfriend of over two years, Vanessa Minnillo.

“In fact, football night often becomes date night, which is a nice combo for me,” says Lachey, who was in Tampa Bay Friday night hosting a kickoff party for his Super Skins Celebrity Golf Tournament, a Super Bowl charity fund-raiser he hosted with NASCAR Sprint Cup champ Jimmie Johnson. “She’s down to hang out and go to the game. So it’s definitely something we agree on.”

Nick Lachey's Romantic Valentine's Day Gift

Originally posted 02/19/2008 04:00PM

When it came time to give his girlfriend of over a year a Valentine's Day present, Nick Lachey was stumped.

"We have the same birthday in November. Then it's Christmas and then all of a sudden it's Valentine's Day," he told PEOPLE at a Hot Wheels event in New York City. (A diamond-studded car will be auctioned off later in the year and proceeds will benefit one of Nick's favorite charities, Big Brothers/Big Sisters.) "At that point, what else are you gonna [get]? So I try to be a little bit creative and think, 'All right, what can I do that's going to be a little different and special?'"
