They used to do everything together as one of the world’s most renowned love birds, and now that they have moved on as single people, are they synchronizing their engagements to other folks, too? Nick Lachey, once-pop-icon from the boyband 98 Degrees, has asked for Vanessa Minnillo’s hand in marriage. A week after, his ex, Jessica Simpson, reveals the news of her engagement with boyfriend Eric Johnson.
What is Lachey’s reaction? “I don’t have any thought on it”, he responds to the USA Today. Lachey says that he doesn’t know what people are talking about, because he doesn’t speculate on his ex’s timing of engagement.
Besides, the 37-year old crooner probably won’t have the time to speculate on issues like this. After all, he is busy planning his own wedding to Vanessa Minnillo. He says he is very excited, and that the couple has actually not planned anything yet. They are newly engaged, and are taking their time, but will eventually get to the nitty-gritty of it all.
What’s he busy with? Christmas is fast approaching and Nick Lachey is a big believer in spending the best time of the year with family. He plans to go home to Cincinnati to spend some quality time with his grandmother, parents, nieces and nephew.
Lachey, who reportedly gave his bride-to-be a $125,000engagement ring is happy with the gift he’s already given her, and probably won’t be planning on any more luxurious presents for the year.
