Nick Lachey and His New Bride Vanessa Minnillo Are Expecting

Former pop star Nick Lachey and his new bride Vanessa Minnillo are expecting their first child, less than a year after they tying the knot.

The 98 Degrees singer and his wife got married in a secret ceremony in July 2011, and they announced on Live! With Kelly on Monday that Minnillo is pregnant.

Lachey revealed, “She was in New York and I was in the Bahamas. She went to the store and got a pregnancy test and it came back positive. We’re having a baby! … This is the one thing that more than any other, I’ve looked forward to, and it’s overwhelming.”

Lachey said the couple has already discussed a name for the child, adding, “If it’s a girl, I think it might be Sophia. If it’s a boy, I’m not sure.”

He also joked his wife’s baby bump was initially blamed on slamming down too many calories, saying, “It just looked like she had eaten a really big burrito for a while … She loves, she craves Mexican food right now. She could eat a burrito a day so you can imagine what our house smells like right about now.”

The baby is due later this year.
