Former MTV reality star Nick Lachey and former "TRL" host Vanessa Minnillo have broken up after three years together, according to People.com.
"They have amicably split but remain good friends who still greatly care for one another," a rep for Minnillo told the magazine.
A rep for Lachey, a former member of 98 Degrees, also confirmed the news.
Lachey and Minnillo began dating in 2006, but rumors of a breakup had dogged the couple recently. Earlier in June, Minnillo told People that her relationship was "very much still on."
MTV News most recently caught up with Lachey, 35, and Minnillo, 28, in May on the red carpet at the Maxim Hot 100 party in Los Angeles, where the pair joked together and compared memories of their high school proms.
Lachey and Minnillo started a relationship after Lachey's high-profile 2005 split from wife Jessica Simpson. Following the breakup of his marriage, which had been chronicled on the MTV reality show "Newlyweds," Lachey released the first single off his solo album, "What's Left of Me." Minnillo starred in the video.
A source told People that Lachey and Minnillo are "still friends. It was the right thing for both of them to do."

In a move that will surprise no one, Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo have decided to break up. Back in April, there were a lot of rumors that their relationship was on the rocks, partially substantiated by Vanessa spending some very cuddly time with Matt Lanter from the new 90210. That one night also wasn’t the first time that there had been rumors of cheating and a breakup - ever since they began dating in 2006, there were consistent reports that they were no longer together. In April, Vanessa said that she and Nick were “very much still on,” but obviously that didn’t last long:
Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo have called it quits, reps for each confirm to PEOPLE.
“They have amicably split but remain good friends who still greatly care for one another,” Minnillo’s rep tells PEOPLE of the couple, who began dating in 2006.
The split comes after a rash of breakup rumors and reports, which were shot down. Earlier this month Minnillo told PEOPLE that she and Lachey were “very much still on.”
Though they have split, a source says Minnillo, 28, and Lachey, 35, are “still friends. It was the right thing for both of them to do.”

There’s no telling what exactly it was that caused the breakup; it’s possible that her supposed cheating had nothing to do with it. But an interview in June, after the cheating incident, hinted at some trouble. Vanessa made several comments about marriage, including the size of her future hypothetical wedding ring (10 carats) as well as backing up her claims about the stability of their relationship by commenting that “Maybe this will be the one time I wind up the bride instead of the bridesmaid!” Sounds like someone was ready to walk down the aisle - and maybe Nick wasn’t.
When his show Newlyweds with Jessica Simpson was still on television, I watched it just to see Nick. I’ve never been a fan of his music or anything, but he’s a genuinely sweet, funny, patient guy, and entertaining in a very quiet way. So I don’t think that they broke up solely because he thinks she is the reason his career is nonexistent. In fact, I think the opposite is true - I always got the impression that he was like a deer in the headlights when it came to the cameras in his house, and being married to a star like Jessica. Vanessa, on the other hand, seems to love the spotlight. Maybe Nick just decided he needed someone a little more settled than Vanessa - or maybe Vanessa got tired of waiting for Nick. Either way, they clearly weren’t headed in the same direction.

Vanessa Minnillo gave an interview to Robin Leach (The Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous guy) while she was in Las Vegas, and she talked non-stop about marriage, brides and engagement rings. People Magazine is making it seem like ?Oh my God, Vanessa is pressuring Nick Lachey to get married? - which might really be the case, because that seems to be Vanessa?s consistent modus operandi. Nick and Vanessa have been together about three years, and they?ve been living together for two. See, Vanessa has put three whole years into this relationship - as opposed to another celebrity woman (hint: Jennifer Love Hewitt) who just yesterday was pressuring her boyfriend of three months to get engaged. I kind of feel bad for Vanessa - Nick doesn?t seem to be making her any kind of priority in his life:
Memo to Nick Lachey: Vanessa Minnillo has marriage on the mind ? and hand.
Pointing to a 5-carat ring on her middle finger, Minnillo, 28, tells Las Vegas columnist Robin Leach, “It will be 10 carats when it moves to the fourth finger!”
Leach says she was laughing when she said it. But in the course of a brief interview posted on his Vegas Deluxe blog Minnillo mentions marriage three times.
Noting that Lachey, 35, couldn’t make it to Vegas with her because he was at a friend’s birthday party, she pouted, “So once again it looks as if I’m always the bridesmaid but never the bride.”
Not that there’s a problem, she quickly adds. “This romance is still going strong,” she says. “There will always be rumblings and rumors that we’ve broken up, but in fact, it’s very much still on ? and it keeps on getting better.”
So much so that, “Maybe this will be the one time I wind up the bride instead of the bridesmaid!”
[From People]
Not to butt into their relationship, but I think it?s totally reasonable for Nick and Vanessa to both do some soul-searching about the state of their arrangement. Vanessa seems to know what she wants - a ring, a white dress, and a wedding. I?m not so sure if she?s given any thought to actually being married to Nick, but I give her credit for knowing what her priorities are. What are Nick?s priorities? Having a girlfriend who doesn?t demand anything of him, spending time with his dude friends, and keeping everything low-key. I really think Vanessa is avoiding giving Nick an ultimatum about marriage because she thinks (knows) he?ll dump her. Poor Vanessa.

It's May — you know what that means. It's getting warm, the flowers are blooming and the time-honored tradition of prom is back again. So get your corsages, turn up the cheesy music and fuel the limos, because this week we're catching up with your favorite stars and helping them relive their favorite prom memories.
Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo seem to have had very different prom experiences back in high school. Minnillo, who grew up all over the country as an Army brat, had a full-on glamorous prom experience, while Lachey, who grew up in Cincinnati, had a more low-budget prom night.

?Wait, Nick Lachey still has a career? When did that happen? Apparently he and longtime girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo are on the rocks. Now to be fair, she probably doesn?t understand his career issues, because she?s never had one. Unless you count being an MTV veejay (and supposedly an entitled diva) a career. Technically she considers herself an actress (she even plans on winning an Oscar), but frankly she has nothing going for her except being Nick?s girlfriend. And by some reports, that?s going down the tubes too.
A source close to the ex-boybander says the two ?are on the rocks big time. They argue all the time, and Nick is done with her. He feels like she?s holding him back, careerwise.? Sure enough, Lachey?s career isn?t as hot as it used to be. His latest single, ?Patience,? hasn?t even cracked the pop charts, though a friend close to the singer is quick to note ?it?s doing well on the adult contemporary.? (When we checked, it was No. 39 on Billboard?s Hot Adult Top 40 list after five weeks of airplay, and it topped out on the Pop 100 Airplay list at No. 75 back in March.)
? what the singer really needs is a mainstream breakthrough ? and Lachey?s pals say that in order to launch a comeback, he needs to dump Minnillo. It was recently reported the end was near after Minnillo stormed out of an L.A. restaurant with an angry face ? with Lachey chasing after her in embarrassment, doggy bag in hand. A source close to the couple told us, ?After the pictures came out, Nick told friends they weren?t fighting about their relationship, that it was just Vanessa going through a tough time personally.?
But, says another source, ?We?re just not sure if we believe that anymore. The relationship has been over for a while, but he?s too nice a guy to end things completely.? That may explain why the singer keeps making an effort. In town for a recent Lachey promotional tour, he and Minnillo ? who?ve been together since March 2006 ? dined at The Charles restaurant. ?They sat in a corner table, exchanging kisses,? said one spy. ?But something still wasn?t quite right.?
[From Gatecrasher]
Of course both of their reps denied that anything was wrong, because life is nothing but rainbows shooting out of unicorns? asses in celebrity rep land. They?ve been together for three years. Lots of couples date that long without getting married, and I?m not saying there?s anything wrong about that. But, it?s long been rumored that Vanessa was eager for Nick to pop the question, and given that, it?s been a long time. If she wanted to get engaged, I?m surprised she hasn?t dumped him after all this time. I think she?s smart enough to know Nick is the only fame she?s got right now.
And while Lachey has always struck me as a reasonably smart guy (at least by celebrity standards), I don?t think Vanessa is the reason for his flagging CD sales. He?s just over. His young hot boyband time came and went ? and he was never one of the biggest acts, even when he was on top of his game. Gatecrasher also noted that he?s producing shows for MTV, and that sounds like a smart plan for the long-term. If either of them is considering staying or leaving because of their career, it?s time to call it off.

Vanessa Minnillo magically aged 20 years in this photo from LIV in Miami. Just add a pair of old people’s glasses and it’ll be like you stepped out of a time machine. Also, I’m 100% positive it’s a bad angle, but Vanessa’s mouth looks like a prolapsed rectum. Nick Lachey gets to make out with that. Lucky bastard.

Welcoming the New Year in sunny Florida, a slateful of celebs were spotted attending the New Years Eve celebration at Fontainebleau’s LIV nightclub in Miami last night (December 31).
Always up for a good time, Vanessa Minnillo and boyfriend Nick Lachey made their way down the photog line before joining fellow guests at the Diddy hosted party.

Apparently, the Simpson family compound is in Waco, Texas. I hate myself for knowing that, and for being able to vaguely recall an episode of ?The Newlyweds? when Jessica Simpson and then-husband Nick Lachey celebrated Christmas in Texas. Well, as it turns out, the Waco compound will be the site of another glorious Simpson family gathering, with Jessica, Tony Romo, Ashlee and Pete Wentz all expected to show up.
E! News Online is among several celebrity sites reporting that Simpson sisters Jessica and Ashlee and their significant others ? Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo and husband Pete Wentz, respectively ? plan to celebrate Christmas in Waco at their grandparents? house.
E! News sez: ?This Christmas is a big deal, and the whole family wants to be together for baby Bronx?s first Christmas,? a Simpson family friend tells us.? Bronx Mowgli is the baby boy born to Ashlee and Pete on Nov. 20.
[From the Waco Tribune]
I?m sure it will be a nice family gathering and everyone?s probably really excited to spend more time with the new baby. But surely you aren?t foolish enough to think that Jessica could just let that news slip by without over-sharing about her Christmas plans (and coincidentally stealing Ashlee’s moment)? Jessica is pulling out all the stops to get Tony Romo… including trying her hand at baking Tony?s favorite desserts.
Forget going out on the town and partying all night in Hollywood, Jessica Simpson is going a very different route from other celebrity ladies these days: She’s skipping the club and heading straight for the kitchen!
“Believe it or not, I like to bake pies,” she tells Pop Tarts of her life at home right now. “Tony [Romo]’s favorite is pumpkin pie and I haven’t mastered that yet. Maybe I’m more of a baker; I like to make cakes, more fattening. I make a good carrot cake.”
Besides fattening up her NFL quarterback boyfriend, Jess says she’s dedicated to making sure his holiday season is merry and bright.
“My personality is now more stay-at-home; right now I’m doing the Christmas tree and everything. I’m in Dallas and its fun, Tony hasn?t had Christmas in 7 years because they have football every Christmas and he can?t go home,” she says. “So I?m bringing Christmas to him this year and it?s been fun. I?ve been out ornament shopping and all kinds of stuff, so that’s more of who I am.”
[From OK Magazine]
Ew, carrot cake. I totally don?t get carrot cake. Cake is supposed to made from good stuff like butter, vanilla, flour, chocolate. Not carrots. But back to The World Revolving Around Jessica, I?ve said it before, and I?ll say it again: I think Tony really loves her. If he wanted out, he would have gotten out a long time ago. But I?ll add that Tony *probably* doesn?t love her for cooking.

Jessica Simpson is said to be blabbing to pals that she thinks her boyfriend, quarterback Tony Romo, is planning to pop the question over the holidays. This story is from Star, so it’s just as likely to be made up, but it sounds like something Simpson would do. She pretty much tells anyone who will listen all about her life, relationship, and bodily functions well past the point that an average person would find embarrassing. You can imagine her telling people she thinks she’s about to get a ring, or even leaking the news to Star herself with ring hints she hopes will get back to Tony:
[Jessica Simpson] is “convinced” that Tony [Romo] plans to propose over the holidays, says a close friend of Jess. He’s been dropping hints, like asking her about the diamond from her ex-husband, Nick Lachey. “I told him it was once my dream to have a pear-shaped ring, but I’d never want that again,” she told the pal. Then, last week, she noticed that one of her favorite rings went missing for a few days. “And then it reappeared in my jewelry box.”
[From Star Magazine, print edition, December 15, 2008]
Jessica has gained a little weight, and she looks fine but there’s always pregnancy speculation when that happens, particularly from us. Her sister just had a baby and she’s been outspoken about wanting to be a mother too. It’s hard to tell if she’s pregnant or just wearing her typical bad fashion. If Simpson is pregnant and/or if she gets engaged we’re sure to hear all about it. Tony seems serious about her because he’s stuck around despite all the stupid things she’s said. Maybe he’s ready to take it to the next level, which is sure to result in more unnecessary details in the celebrity magazines.
