From the moment they first crossed paths back in 2005, the pair have generated controversy.
But whenNick Lachey divorced Jessica Simpsonone year later and began dating Vanessa rumors began to fly.
Since those days, however, Nick and Vanessa have taken their relationship to a new level.
Over the years though, the Lacheys have struggled with one controversy after the next.
Oddly enough, though, the Lacheys haven’t always exuded “couple goals” energy.
In the past, they have even appeared oddly mismatched.
Even so, they struggled to answer the questions in the same way.
When it came time to share where they had their first date, Nick and Vanessa did not align.
On certain occasions, the couple can be downright critical toward each other even in public.
Vanessa and Nick made an appearance onthe now-scandalous “Ellen DeGeneres Show"in 2022.
During their interview, Vanessa made a comment aboutNick’s old band 98 Degreesthat some fans found shocking.
She said that she was never a fan of her husband’s old musical group.
“I was an NSYNC fan.”
As Vanessa spoke, Nick turned beet red and began shaking his head vigorously.
He even made a few odd facial expressions, as if he was resisting the temptation to reply.
Although this moment was clearly meant to be funny, it ultimately came across as awkward.
Fans in the comment section could not help but share their reactions to Vanessa’s bizarre confession.
“He needs to go back to 98 Degrees and tour.
He could use it really!
He needs a vacation away from her,” complained one viewer.
Nick Lachey has also made a number of strange confessions about his wife.
Interestingly, Vanessa did not see things the same way at the time.
She said that she’d been hoping that Nick had chosen her for some other reason.
“I was like, ‘Oh, he thinks I’m cute,'” she recalled.
Nick, however, was clear about having selected Vanessa for purely professional purposes.
“I saw an opportunity,” the singer reiterated.
Ultimately, this awkward moment made some Lachey fans wonder if Nick really liked Vanessa at all.
“She looks more into him than he is into her lol.
With Vanessa … she is always hanging onto him and he keeps his hands to himself?
Vanessa is def in love, but Nick is like, ‘Whatever.'”
When asked the question, “Who said ‘I love you first?'”
Nick raised his hand.
“I was shocked.
Many viewers found the pair to appear somewhat artificial in how they were telling the story.
Like, always putting on an act pretending to be happy,” complained one unhappy fan.
“That’s why people have such a negative reaction to them.
It seems like they’re acting,” observed another.
In light of this revelation, Nick grew instantly cagey.
“I’ll be honest.
Vanessa, meanwhile, appeared confused.
“I’m sorry, you said somebody sent her … We …
But thank you, whoever sent it from us!”
Vanessa and Nick Lachey realized this the hard way during a joint interview withE!
Insider when Vanessa did almost all the talking.
“Well, you’re able to never say never,” he began.
But, Vanessa swiftly jumped in.
Nick then proceeded to interject, “And we are going to cal this one Reno.”
“So, after every date, we were there in the halls talking with them.
He furrowed his brow when his wife spoke.
Every once in a while, he glanced at her as if to indicate that confusion.
Some fans even began to doubt the veracity of her statements.
“Nick was like, ‘We did?
Where was I?’
Another commented on how infrequently the couple appeared on the show.
“They were literally on the show like four times lol,” agreed another.
In this moment, it probably would have been appropriate for Vanessa to thank Lopez for his kind words.
Instead, she awkwardly responded, “I guess we should have named our firstborn Mario.”
Nick reacted by making a face, turning away from Vanessa, and shouting, “Woah!”
He then added, “It didn’tallget started in 1999 [meaning ‘98].”
Unsurprisingly, Access Hollywood viewers did not respond well to this tense on-screen moment.
“I bet Vanessa and Mario go WAY back LOL,” wrote one fan.
This is not the first time I have seen her do this.”
“I enjoy it so much because I get to work with my wife.
We enjoy spending time together,” he said.
“Vanessa comes across as trying too hard to make people like her.
She needs to be herself,” wrote one fan in response to the interview.
Fans were annoyed when Vanessa Lachey kept interrupting Nick
Nick and Vanessa Lachey have very different pasts.
While Nick was once a professional singer, Vanessa was essentially a professional speaker.
These days, Vanessa’s talent for on-camera speaking lives on.
However, she often forgets to share the spotlight with Nick.
“Not see the other person, but get to know them on every level.
it’s possible for you to ask any question,” he said.
As the former 98 Degrees singer spoke, however, Vanessa jumped in to interrupt him.
“Any question,” she blurted.
Once again, Vanessa tried to speak over Nick.
“Me too, yeah,” she said.
Viewers were not particularly happy with this uncomfortable dynamic.
One took to YouTube to write, “Vanessa, LET NICK TALK!!”
Another added, “Somebody tell Vanessa to stop interrupting everybody.
