Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo on Verge of Splitting Up?

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, who really can we trust when we hear news like this, all we can do is read it, and I guess believe it until proven wrong. Rumor at the moment? Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo are reportedly on the verge of splitting up.

I have always thought Nick and Vanessa to be a strong couple and very much in love. I have to admit that I watched Newly Weds here and there and could tell from the start that Jessica and Nick were not going to last. Jessica was way to much of a ‘blond’ for Nick’s personality, and I knew it wouldn’t take long for the whole baby act to die off. Ever since Nick started dating Vanessa, they looked like a much more compatible couple. Were going to keep each other on their toes, challenge one another and keep each other interested, not grow bored of one another.

So how did rumors come up of Nick and Vanessa almost breaking up? Fametastic claimed that a source close to the pair told the New York Daily News that the couple are “on the rocks big time”. Apparently they argue all the time and Nick is finished with her. A little harsh no? If that’s true and Nick is ‘finished’ with her, then why hasn’t he done something about it. Why string her along buddy?

Nick is reportedly trying to relaunch his pop career. As much as I think that Nick is a good looking guy, I can’t really remember the last thing he did since Newly Weds other than replace Regis as a host while he was away on Regis and Kelly. In any event, Nick thinks that Vanessa is just holding him back. I dunno buddy, if anything I think Vanessa is the only good thing going for you and will only advance your career. But what do I know?
