Vanessa Lachey Acknowledges Age Gap Romance With Husband Nick Lachey

Vanessa Lachey and Nick Lachey make sure they keep it steamy in their pods.

After 14 years of marriage, the Love is Blind hosts admit that they are in a phase of their romance where they have to make time to turn up the heat in the bedroom.

“He’s like, ‘What, schedule a sex day?’” Vanessa told Brides in a joint interview with Nick published Feb. 11 about his reaction to her idea. It sounds weird when you say that, so we decided: Wednesday—hump day.”

As Nick added of their weekly arrangement, “Happy hump day and calendar dump day.”

But, of course, that’s not the only reason their marriage has remained strong for more than a decade. The pair—who are parents to Camden, 12, Brooklyn, 10, and Phoenix, 8—agree that another key is separating the business and pleasure.

“I don’t want the time that we have for intimacy and connection to be taken over by logistics, but that’s our life,” Vanessa said. “I think we’re coming into an age of having to have a hump day and a logistics day.”

But their nearly 20 years together hasn’t been without ups and downs. However, the “I do” singer—who started dating Vanessa in 2006 after his divorce from Jessica Simpson—shared the secret to their successful relationship.

“Anything that’s worth having takes work,” the 51-year-old said in Brides. “To me, that’s a cornerstone of life, and marriage is no different. There’s no shame in that.”

Vanessa, 44, meanwhile, isn’t afraid to take a page out of the Love Is Blind book.

“My knee jerk is communication,” she told E! News during a joint interview alongside Nick in December. “And I know that sounds so cliché. But I think that’s why Love Is Blind is probably the most successful dating reality show out there because they start with communicating.”
