49-Year-Old Hollywood Star Fulfils His ‘Daddy Duty’ While Surfing and Horse Riding in Hawaii

Away from the legal consequences, after an altercation with a celebrity photographer, Nick Lachey is having the time of his life in Hawaii. The Hardest Thing singer is spending quality time with his family while giving thrill sports a try. As the singer and his kids did the strenuous yet entertaining activities, his wife Vanessa Lachey captured the precious moments on camera.

Recently, Lachey took to his social media to share photos of him diligently doing his duties as a father. The post perfectly encapsulated the beautiful family Nick has built with Vanessa.

A look at the Lachey family’s vacation in Hawaii

On 22nd March 2023, 98 degrees band member Nick Lachey shared photos from his tropical vacation with his family. Adding a caption to the post, Lachey wrote, “When in Hawaii… … .#daddyduty.” The first photo featured Nick showing something to his 8-year-old daughter Brooklyn. During their conversation, the duo was sitting on top of their individual brown horses.

In the second photo, Nick tested the waters while surfing with his eldest son, 10-year-old Camden. The third photo featured his adorable youngest son, 6-year-old Pheonix, enjoying a popsicle by the poolside. The last photo was a scenic capture of a turtle swimming in the water, representing the natural beauty of Hawaii. Had it not been for Vanessa’s rift with Yankees’ Derek Jeter, Lachey would not have been enjoying this time now. But how does Jeter fit into this picture?

Connection between Nick Lachey, Vanessa Lachey, and Derek Jeter

If you’re wondering how the Yankees star fits into Nick and Vanessa’s happy picture, well, the answer is that he does not. In fact, Derek Jeter was Vanessa Lachey’s (née Minnillo) boyfriend, before she started her relationship with Nick Lachey. The Miss Teen USA 1998 was in an on-again-off-again relationship with the baseball player for three years. The couple dated from 2003 to 2006 before finally going their separate ways.

Vanessa Minnillo first met Nick Lachey in 2003, but nothing happened between the two as they were in separate relationships at the time. It was in 2006 when Minnillo starred in one of Lachey’s videos that things took a romantic turn. The two made things official on 1st January 2007. Though their relationship went through a rough patch in 2009, they ultimately tied the knot in 2011.
