Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo are engaged

Five years after he announced his split from Jessica Simpson, Nick Lachey is set to become a newlywed again: The singer, 36, popped the question to girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo, 29, on Thursday.

โ€œWeโ€™re excited and incredibly happy about our engagement and we look forward to a wonderful future together," the couple said in a joint statement to CNN.

Lachey and Minnillo, who began dating in 2006 and briefly split in 2009, were near a California beach on November 4 when he presented the former MTV host with a Bader & Garrin Asscher-cut diamond with baguettes, reports People.

Later that day, Lachey confirmed their good news via Twitter.

"Hey all. If anyone's heard the rumors of my engagement, they are absolutely true! Vanessa and I couldn't be happier," he wrote. "Thanks for all the love."

    A cheeseburger is a hamburger topped with cheese. Traditionally, the slice of cheese is placed on top of the meat patty, but the burger can include many variations in structure, ingredients, and composition. The term itself is a portmanteau of the words "cheese" and "hamburger." The cheese is usually cubed, and then added to the cooking hamburger patty shortly before the patty is completely cooked which allows the cheese to melt. Cheeseburgers are often served with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, mustard, mayonnaise, or ketchup.;

    Must be a slow news day. His fame comes from being Jessica's ex and her fame comes from her association to him. It's not like either of them have done anything special in the last couple years. I agree, who really cares?

    I wish them all the happiness in the world! One thing they have going for them is they stay out of the lime light for the most part. Nick seems down to earth and so does Vanessa so I think they will make it.

    i'm happy yet sad they are getting engaged. I mean he moved on pretty quick after Jessica filed for divorce and poor Jessica hasn't found the right guy up until now, and let's hope he doesn't break her heart. She let a really good catch get away, its unfortunate. I sitll don't know why they got divorced anyway. I still watch them as a couple on NEWLEYWEDS and I love them togetheir, but I suppose Vanessa treats him well and she was there for him thru his toughest time. Wish them an eternal marriage.

    Sad to say but I highly doubt their marriage will last. I give it about five years. Why do I say that? Because it's Hollywood. "Till death do us part, or until I get bored, or until I feel we grew apart".

    As for Jessica Simpson, she is an air head, but has an outstanding voice, listen to her earlier stuff, she has the pipes, but her image gets in her way.

    No, it won't last, but that is hollywood. Vanessa is pretty mucha no body0 no one knew of her until they started dating. Since hern stint at MTV, she really has not done a darn thing. Jessica may not be the brightest builb out there but she has a lucrative carrer between singing and her fashon endeavours. Call her what you may, but she makes her own money. Vanessa lives of what Nick has left since he himself has not done too much either.

    Why do they even bother? The vows of marriage mean as much to most celebrities as the lines they'd read in a play.

    Just an excuse to have people fawn over them. The only celebrity marriages that should ever be reported are the ones lasting 15+ years.

      I'm sure he didn't mean THAT at all. Nick was devoted to Jessica and thought he would spend the rest of his life with her. He was devastated when she 'went Hollywood', got a big head and dumped him via email. I think Nick really is looking for a lifelong committment.

      Maria, Jessica did not dump him via email. Nick explains in the Rolling Stones interview how Jessica told him that she wanted a divorce.

    • well

      If you stopped to think about "who cares," you in part care about the whole idea. Just admit you were anxious enough over this article that you had to comment on it.

      People say this is a tired argument, but in reality, so is clicking on the article and commenting on it. If you clicked on it, you obviously wanted to share your view with others on the topic. A "who cares" counts, so stop your denial, you arrogant fools.
