Vanessa Joy Minnillo, now known as Vanessa Lachey is an American TV personality, host, beauty queen, actress, and fashion model. She was born on November 9, 1980 in Angeles, Pampanga, Philippines to parents Vincent Minnillo and Helen Bercero. She is known to have Irish, Italian, and Filipino ancestry. She started to get noticed when she was crowned as Miss South Carolina Teen USA as well as the Miss Teen USA in 1998.

Other than being a host, she also graced different covers of magazines such as Maxim, Lucky, and Shape.
Vanessa had a two-year on and off relationship with the American baseball player Derek Jeter. When their relationship did not work out, Vanessa eventually found herself having a fling with the English hottie Orlando Bloom. Their hookup also did not reach the happily ever after phase.
When she met Nick Lachey in the year 2006, it seemed like true love is really a very possible thing for her. Although they, too, have an on and off relationship, their love affair ended up in wedding vows. They announced their engagement around 2010 and they were wedded on July 15, 2011 in British Virgin Islands. In 2012, their son came out whom they named Camden John Lachey. This year, they are again expecting another angel in their family, a baby girl.
