Star Magazine is reporting (via Radar Online) that married singer/reality star Nick Lachey spent an awfully long time hitting on a lovely brunette TV hostess who bears a mild resemblance to his wife, Vanessa Lachey. According to Star, Nick spent “hours heavily flirting” with a woman named Stuart Brazell at a party and was “begging” for her number. Nick and Vanessa have been married for just a year and a half and have a five month baby together. If this is true it’s bad news for them:
The proud papa of baby Camden was spotted recently spending hours heavily flirting with sexy TV personality Stuart Brazell during a star-studded pre-Grammys party at Paramount Studios, according to an exclusive report in the new issue of Star magazine.
“He wanted to know everything about her,” an witness dished to Star.
“You never would’ve guessed he’s married with a baby!”
Star reports that the eyewitness also claims the 98 Degrees singer was seen begging Stuart for her number!
For all the juicy details on Nick’s efforts to put the moves on Stuart pick up the latest issue of Star magazine — on newsstands Thursday.
I really hope this isn’t true. I hope Nick was talking to this lady because they’re working on a project together or because they’re interested in collaborating or something. Her IMDB has her doing casting work for reality TV as well as several producing projects, so it’s entirely possible they were talking business. Plus, I just don’t see Nick as a cheater at all. I used to watch Newlyweds (don’t judge!) and he always seemed so solid to me. He’s a serial monogamist and I can’t imagine that he would cheat on Vanessa at all, especially with a new baby at home. This is Star stirring up sh*t where there is none – I hope! But I’ve also heard of the nicest, most seemingly family-oriented dudes getting strange on the side. (In real life, not just celebrity land.) Maybe I shouldn’t be so naive.

I wouldn’t put too much stock in what “Star” has to say. Nick is a good guy from Cincinnati and he IS rock solid. Nothing to see here folks, move along…
+1
What? Star is the mag that broke the John Edwards scandal.
I want to like Nick too, but he is not the same guy that was on Newlyweds anymore. He seems a little rough and desperate lately. That being said, Vanessa dated Jeter for 3 years so she is probably used to it!
I think The National Enquirer broke the Edwards scandal, not Star.
The National Enquirer broke the John Edwards story. However, Star Magazine and The National Enquirer have more misses than hits. Both are tabloids and they create/report false information regularly. Just because they lucked up with the John Edwards info doesn’t mean they are credible now.
Sorry- my mistake!! I still believe the story.
There was also a story about him, Matt Leinart and some girls in a hot tub. I am sure more will come forward.
He hooked up with Vanessa not too long after Jessica. I mean really. He should have sowed his oats. It is not fair to Vanessa but…
Echoing what a few people said down thread, he has cheated in the past and I wouldn’t be surprised if he is doing so now. I live in Columbus, OH and went to OSU for undergrad, and I was at a party years ago that he attended. He cheated on his wife with a random. It was all pretty open and obvious. Maybe he has changed, but this squeaky clean rep that people are buying into is not well-deserved…
I totally had him confused with Mario Lopez dating Ali Laundry and cheating on her.
It’s probably false since we haven’t heard any gossip grumbles about him cheating before.
I’m with you celebitchy I hope it’s not true…I have always had a soft spot for this particular boy bander.
That’s a really cute baby.
Very cute baby! He’s going to be hot like his daddy.
I think he is going to be hot like his mama.
I used to watch newlyweds too! The show made me LOVE nick, but Jessica not so much.
I really hope this isn’t true.
Oh, I like Nick and Vanessa together. They dated a long time before getting married, which is nice. They also never seemed to have the air of desperation that Jessica still seems to carry around with her (I’m remembering when she got engaged with a ring she bought herself a few days after Nick and Vanessa announced theirs).
Though who knows? Maybe it’s true but its not cheating. Some women are cool with their man flirting or doing other stuff as soon as its not physical. I tend to think its none of the public’s business, it’s the couples’ business.
I agree with you.
Sigh. I long for the days of newlyweds.
Craving a little “chicken of the sea”?
i was captivated by that show.
nick and jess were just adorable.
i continue to hope for them to get back together…but i’m a bit of a romantic and not very realistic : )
Well all the seasons are on Netflix if you want to see reruns lol
I suspect the source might be someone who works publicity for Stuart. Sure, I’d believe Nick spoke to her and was maybe even a little Hollywood-style flirty, but I doubt it went beyond that. If he’d always been that kind of a dog in public, it would have become common knowledge a long time ago.
I was thinking the same anytime they repeatedly mention a unfamiliar name like that it has PR written all over it.
Don’t believe it for a minute.
There were rumors of him cheating back when he was with Jessica. Don’t know if they were true, but there were some rumors at the time.
I think that Jessica cheated on Nick and daddy Simpson turned the story around.
I’m surprised, but only because I thought he was gay.
my god…BEAUT-I-FUL BABY!!!
congrats. 😉
I guess no one in Hollywood cheating is all that surprising, but I hope this one isn’t true. Nick was always such a real guy on Newlyweds. Loved how he actually did projects around the house and didn’t want to blow money just because they had it. He has a gorgeous family-I don’t see him throwing that away.
I don’t believe this either! I’ve loved Nick since the Newlyweds too!
That baby is gorgeous.
I too watched Newlyweds and have never understood why Jessica chose to get rid a of a perfectly good husband?
I don’t really buy this story…….wait and see….
Nick is a cheater sorry. I know for a fact he cheated on Jessica while they were married and he was in Nashville without her.
And this isn’t the first story of him cheating on Vanessa either. I don’t know how he got such a good guy rep but I guess he has good PR. He may be a nice guy but he’s definitely not a faithful one.
Was that around the time Jessica was banging that guy from Jackass?
What with the crazy wide open smile?
The woman in question flat out denied this was true. As the story goes, they were at some event, she begged for a photo they spoke for about and minute and that was that. He and Vanessa are solid.
Hope its not true because I’ve always admired the way he handled his divorce and moving on with Vanessa. That said, nothing surprises me any more.
There is a reason why divorce is sealed & there is a reason why NICK didn’t get half. Jess takes a lot of heat & NIck gets the whoa is me & great PR. There is a reason why Jessica has never spoken to NIck since the divorce. her words not mine. She said it a couple years ago in an interview. If you believe NICK didn’t want to create a problem in the divorce & took less then half because of it & then also signed a sealed divorce you are nieve.
I think you meant “woe is me.” 🙂
I agree with you. I believe the rumors that he cheated on Jessica, and the ones that he hit her. I absolutely can’t stand Nick.
Well I certainly hope this is NOT among the few times that Star got it right. I love N&V together. Please don’t be another swarmy guy Nick, be one of the good ones.
A woman named Stuart? She’d have to be really hot for me to get past that name, ugh.
I know, it’s worse than a boy named Sue.
Rather then stir things up I will say there are a few nieve people here. This is not a pro Jess site either but I do enjoy reading & making a few comments. All that needs to be said is Nick is no white knight by a long shot. He has great PR that covers up for him & media attachments & many refuse to believe a lot of Newly WEDS was scripted. Jessica slot in the media alwayas will be desperate,needy,ditzy, you know the lines. lol She does get the last laugh though. Maybe some people need to rethink & re google NICK & Vanessa. & NIck history.. if you want to believe everything you read about Jessica then give NIck and Vanessa a shot too. lol Just saying.lol
ermm..and how exactly does she get the last laugh? By marrying some scrounger who she has to advance money to to buy her presents? And if you mean her money gives her the last laugh? Well, as many people can attest to, money does NOT give you happiness. Like Biggie said, “mo’ money. Mo’ problems”
I have to agree with Gia – what’s with the last laugh thing? Nick and Vanessa seem like a real couple – there is almost that is not manufactured by Jessica Simpson, and I think daddy is still pulling the strings. That Jessica moved ahead in her career by humiliating herself for public amusement and becoming part plastic is nothing to be proud of. Stupid and vapid is no way to go through life. And the word is “naive” since it appears to be a favorite of yours.
I agree. What does Jessica have to laugh about? Her fiance is unemployed, on her payroll and she had to buy her own ring. He also looks disheveled and depressed most of the time. I see nothing appealing about him whatsover. Vanessa and Nick seem to have a real relationship that is based on mutual respect. They have a beautiful son together. Sorry, but I don’t believe this rumor. I think their relationship is not perfect but it is real.
I’ve heard plenty of names that transition well from men to women but Stuart…that’s pushing it.
haha I know! I was in HS w a girl named Ryan and my sister has a girl-friend named Hunter..I cant get over either of those names for girls!
I just don’t see it… He seems like a solid guy and they really seem to love each other and actually like being around each other..So I just don’t see it.
She’s so pretty (and non-crazy-see Jessica Simpson) and the baby is divine!
I hope Star is off on this one…
There were rumors about Nick cheating on Jessica back in the day. He even propositioned a Page Six reporter (dummy). There have been stories about him and Vanessa publicly fighting in clubs over his flirting. I believe this story. Can’t stand Nick one bit.
If he is flirting he is an idiot. Vanessa and baby are both super adorable.
There were a lot of reports of Nick hitting on Vanessa Minillo while he was still married to Jessica. There were even some pictures of them talking at a bar/club.Well, looks like there was some sort of attraction there because now Nick and VM are married. Sometimes tabs are way off and sometimes they are right. This was probably just some PR thing for the Stuart woman to get attention, but you never know.
IF this is true, he should consider slowing down. Obv he is married and has a baby which is already enough a reason, but aside from that, his wife is very beautiful. I really dont believe he could do better looks-wise than her. I know it’s shallow, but whatever. He’s short and C-list at best, come on.
He has always been a player…..
I think because I had been reading so many domestic abuse talk in the DL and JB post, that my mind played tricks on me, and I took “hitting on” as actually hitting. Whoops. Anyhow, if it’s true, him hitting “on”, not bitch slapping a woman, my opinion will still be to just dump his ass girl.
Wow he comes across so genuine – he is a better actor or whatever he does than I give him credit for. Too many people on here seem to know things about him. I saw his E special from the Jessica split – he was crying, his Dad was crying. I feel like he has cheated on me! That baby is so divine – strange to think he has a beautiful wife and gorgeous child at home and its still not enough.
He seems to be such a phony, and those town-to-town stories don’t seem so far fetched. Vanessa better protect herself and that beautiful baby.
I remember the chemistry between N&V when she was on Vh1or MTV (that I don’t remember) just it was some show my daughter had on after school…anyhoo the buzz started about their chemistry then fastforward here we are today so hey WAKE UP Nick if there is any truth to this story because you have a beautiful wife & an adorable son you are blessed- don’t f it up or I’m gonna have to bitch slap you.
They’re both obnoxious, talentless famehoes who need to go away -_-
Seriously, Does ANYONE buy the “Nick hit Jessica” story? because I 100% don’t.
Jessica has an unemployed loser for a boyfriend, she had to buy her own engagement ring and it’s not very hard to see why Eric keeps on getting her pregnant first before even marring her.
He always wants to be tied to Jessica because she has the majority of the money.
Jessica DOES NOT have the last laugh not by a long shot.
PLUS, IF this story was even remotely true, we would have heard it years ago and the press would be all over it.
There is a reason WHY she never wanted to talk about her marriage to Nick because I assume it’s because she never really tried to work on their marriage and she realizes what a great guy she really let go.
Nick and Drew seem to come from a very solid family and I doubt there was abuse in their background.
I also don’t believe that Nick every cheated on her either.
