Nicholas Scott Lachey was born on November 9, 1973 in Harlan, Kentucky, USA. He is an American pop singer and actor.

He and his younger brother Drew excelled in sports and academics while attending Cincinnati's School for the Creative and Performing Arts.

There, the Lachey brothers honed their vocal abilities, but it wasn't until Nick was a student at Miami University in Ohio that he found himself seriously considering a career in music.

He appeared in several episodes of the WB's Charmed in 2004 and 2005, and a small part in the Nora Ephron comedy, Bewitched.

In the midst of a tabloid field day, Lachey resumed his music career in spring 2006 with the release of his second album, a number two hit titled What's Left of Me.

Lachey dated fellow pop star Jessica Simpson for four years, though they had a five month break up, but remained in contact. The couple married in October 2002. Following months of rumors and tabloid speculation, Lachey and Simpson announced their separation in November 2005, and were divorced June 30, 2006. Since his divorce, Lachey has been dating T.V. personality Vanessa Minnillo.
