Two busy careers, fame, and a super-active toddler…how do Vanessa and Nick Lachey hold it all together? Just like the rest of us, the celeb couple is making it up as they go along. In the June 2014 issue of Parents magazine, the down-to-earth, likeable (and not to mention gorgeous) family tells all about their bi-coastal lifestyle, the parenting discoveries they’ve made while raising son Camden, and the trick to getting some ‘alone time’ at the end of the day. See a few highlights from the feature below, and then head to parents.com to check out our exclusive video starring the cute couple in our “The New Parents Game.”
On how the couple got together: “Nick asked me to be in his What’s Left of Me music video [in 2006] and that’s when we started talking more. Apparently Nick had wardrobe approval, because I was wearing this little dress that was actually a shirt.” (V)
On being together five years before getting married and pregnant: “It was fun to have the honeymoon phase before bringing the little guy in.” (V)
On Vanessa as a mother: “My wife’s maternal side is a new dynamic to her personality – and it’s definitely made her even sexier.” (N)
On Nick as a father: “I knew the man I was going to marry was not only a great man, a good friend, and a family guy, but he was going to respect and treat me well and be an amazing father and role model to our children. That’s Nick.” (V)
On what’s next for the Lachey family: “We definitely want more kids. You don’t want kids to have to share the game group of friends.” (N) “But you don’t want them so far apart that they have nothing in common.” (V)“Yes, they have to be close enough in age so they can still relate to each other.” (N)
