Former MTV host Vanessa Minnillo has officially adopted her husband Nick Lachey’s last name becoming Vanessa Lachey on the popular social networking site Twitter. Is the newlywed ready to legally change her name too? Did she?

Are Vanessa Minnillo and Nick Lachey Having A Baby?

Vanessa tweeted, “So…. I’m making it official, and I LOVE my “new name”!@VanessaLachey…. has a nice ring to it ”

The 31 year-old and Jessica Simpson’s ex-husband, who tied the knot in July, have recently bought a San Fernando Valley estate in Encino, California. The couple is also eager to start a family and actively trying to get pregnant.

“Trust me, it would make me very happy,” The Sing-Off host said. “Family is very important. It’s very important to us, and I’m sure that will be around the corner.”

In fact, Vanessa Lachey describes herself as a “host by day, wifey by night, wanna-be Mommy all the time” in her official Twitter page. Do not be surprised when Vanessa and Nick finally announce they will become parents.

Tuesday, TLC announced plans to televise Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo‘s wedding on a special called ”Nick & Vanessa’s Dream Wedding” (working title), which will follow the couple’s planning and the actual ceremony.

The special, which will air a few weeks after the actual date, will feature footage the couple’s joint showers, the bride’s hunt for the perfect wedding gown, and all the little plans to make their dream wedding come true. The series will culminate with “VIP access” to their ceremony, the details of which are being kept secret to keep the day special for the couple and their friends and family.

Lachey, 37, and Minnillo, 30, said:

“We’re lucky to have such passionate and loving fans, and we though partnering with TLC on this special would be the best way to share the exciting journey we’re on with all the people that support us and our relationship.”

Lachey famously broadcast his first wedding and the honeymoon phase of his marriage with Jessica Simpson on MTV, which lasted from 2002-2006. Days after he announced his engagement to Minnillo, Simpson announced her engagement to NFL player, Eric Johnson.

I’m not sure this is the best idea. Didn’t television plague your first marriage, Nick?

Rumor has it that Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo will become parents this year!

They don’t have a wedding date quite yet, but the newly-engaged couple might have a bun in the over. Minnillo told PEOPLE recently:

“Things happen,”

“And if a blessing comes before the wedding then that’s exactly what it is, [a blessing].”

Hmm..suspicious! If she is pregnant, we may not know it until she starts to show. Vanessa says she will continue to work if and when she does get pregnant.

“I would love to have children and work,”

“I definitely don’t want it to slow me down. I’m always going to be, ‘Go, go, go.’ And I’m going to be pregnant, fat and happy through it all.”

Only time will tell! What do you think — are Vanessa and Nick expecting?

Nick Lachey let it slip to Rachel Ray this Wednesday that he and his new fiancee Vanessa Minnillo “may be married in Tuscany” this New Years — but Vanessa quickly set the record straight that that isn’t the case.

When asked about it Wednesday night, Vanessa told Hollyscoop:

“He was joking,”

“We’re not getting married in Italy.”

“I think that’s the game of telephone. He said it sarcastically and it was misconstrued in print. We’re not [getting married in Italy], but that would be a great idea.”

At least we know who wears the pants in this relationship.

So if the MTV host and former boybander won’t tie the knot in 2010, when will it happen?

Vanessa says:

“I feel irresponsible for not having a date, but someone made a great point: When you’re dating, everyone is always asking when you’re getting engaged,”

“When you’re engaged, everyone is always asking when you’re getting married. When you get married they start asking when you’re going to get pregnant. Instead of keeping up with the Jones’, we’re just enjoying it.”

A great point! A relationship isn’t about the milestones, and it shouldn’t be for anyone other than the two of you.

Congrats to them whenever they do tie the knot — we’ll be sure to let you know!

Singer Nick Lachey, who was previously married to Jessica Simpson, and his longtime girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo are officially engaged to be married after dating for more than four years. The 36 year-old went down on one knee to pop the question near a beach in California on Thursday (November 4).

Vanessa Minnillo & Nick Lachey Are Doing It AGAIN!

“We’re excited and incredibly happy about our engagement and we look forward to a wonderful future together,” the longtime couple announced in a joint statement.

Nick took to Twitter to write, “Hey all. If anyone’s heard the rumors of my engagement, they are absolutely true! Vanessa and I couldn’t be happier. Thanks for all the love.”

Vanessa and Nick briefly split last year, but they weren’t separated for a long time before falling into each other’s arms again. The lovebirds are allegedly very happy with their relationship. The 29 year-old recently revealed the two showers together twice a day to maintain a certain level of intimacy.

“It’s not a sexual thing and it’s not a romantic thing,” Vanessa said. “It just becomes an intimate thing … I’ve had some of my most intimate conversations with him in the shower.”

Congratulations to Nick and Vanessa! Let them live happily ever after!!

Nick Lachey confirmed that he and Vanessa Minnillo are back together after putting an end to their 3 year romance in June. The two were seen kissing, making out and dancing at Los Angeles bar Dime late August.

“I am happy in a relationship,” he said Thursday on Good Day Philadelphia. “I was single for a minute there, and then we’ve kind of patched things up.” The singer went on to compliment his girlfriend, saying Vanessa is really smart, smarter than him. Well Nick was previously married to Jessica Simpson…

About the tragic disappearance of Jessica’s super cute maltipoo Daisy (details and photos), which he gifted to his wife, Nick confessed to be upset and said, “I think a lot of people forget that Daisy was my dog too — for years.”

Singer Nick Lachey and girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo have decided to call it quits just weeks after Vanessa denied their relationship was in trouble. The model/TV star’s rep told People, “They have amicably split but remain good friends who still greatly care for one another.”

Nick and Vanessa started dating in 2006 right after the singer’s divorce from Jessica Simpson. Despite Vanessa’s rumored romance with “Disaster Movie” co-star Matt Lanter, sources say she and Nick continue to be good friends.

Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo are still going strong. The couple has been away from the spotlight for awhile for the sake of Jessica Simpson’s sanity. It is not easy to see your ex-husband so happy when he quickly traded you for a smarter (that’s arguable, I know!) and hotter brunette and you are feeling lonely and frustrated that you can’t start a family of your own… you will be auntie forever… how sad!! OK, poor Jessica has suffered enough already!!

What happened to Vanessa’s face?? Did she get some collagen lip injections?? OMG, no!! It looks like she has gained some weight and we all know what that means – she is either pregnant or spending too much time sitting on her a$$.

Vanessa Minnillo was spotted out shopping yesterday with a girlfriend in Bel Air, and she looked beautiful as always- from the hips up. But something happened when Nick Lachey‘s girlfriend put on her shoes… first of all, she chose hideous furry UGG-style boots. Then she decided to roll her otherwise cute jeans up over the top of her ugly boots. Oh well, at least her purse is cute.

The 2008 American Music Awards was a big night for celebrities to show their best garments and wow at the red carpet – some did it gracefully and some failed miserably. In my modest opinion Alicia Keys (minus the earrings!) was the best dressed and Sarah Silverman the worst dressed at the red carpet.

Pop star Nick Lachey and longtime girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo are secretly (not so much anymore) getting married this weekend down in the Bahamas.

Pop singer Lachey and his MTV star girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo will be married in a secret ceremony at one of the Carlyle Hotels in the Bahamas this weekend, a source told FOXNews.com’s Pop Tarts columnist Hollie McKay.

Minnillo’s entourage arrived at the dazzling digs Friday afternoon, the source said.

Lachey was previously married to Jessica Simpson for three years before she filed for divorce two years ago this month.

Lachey and Minnillo set the internet world afire earlier this year when photos of the two having wild and passionate sex in Mexico were leaked online. Mexico was likely nixed as a possible location for the wedding due to their lax paparazzi security.

Photos of Vanessa and pop mess Lindsay Lohan holding knives down their throat and to each others head also brought Ness some unwanted attention this year.
