Super Bowl 2019: 'DWTS' Alums Nick and Vanessa Lachey Cheer on LA Rams

By ANNA RUMER

Nick and Vanessa Lachey may have come to the Golden Coast later in life, but the couple is definitely cheering on the Los Angeles Rams as they square off against the New England Patriotsin Sunday's Super Bowl LIII.

The Dancing With the Stars alums showed their Rams pride on Instagram ahead of the big game, posing in sports gear and showcasing their enthusiasm with spunky poses.

"Let’s Go RAMS!!!" Vanessa captioned the photo. "[Nick Lachey] has been a [Rams] fan since 1984 when he first saw them play. Now they’re here in our town!!! ANNNDDD they have one of our Favorite Bengals (and people) [Andrew Whitworth]!!! Let’s do THIS!"

She added in a relatable post script, "PS, I’m sooooo comfortable cause my jeans come up 2 inches above my belly button! Haha! Holdin in ALL of the FOOD!"

The couple, who wed in 2011, share three kids together — Camden, 6, Pheonix, 2, and Brooklyn, 4 — and dated on and off for five years prior to tying the knot.

In a recent interview, Vanessa told Us Weekly that the key to her relationship's longevity is continuing to put in the work.

"I see it as a working marriage, and don't mean like a job working, but we have to constantly work at it," the TV personality said. "I was just telling my girlfriend last night: We don't settle or run; we go head-on with the problem. We communicate, we talk things through and we listen to the other person. We both know exactly what we want out of life and that's each other, so we're gonna make it work."

She added that the many years they spent together before forming their own family is another benefit for the couple. "We had set a foundation," the former Total Request Live host said, referring to their five-year relationship prior to walking down the aisle. "We traveled the world. I got to go to album release parties and concerts. And now I get to be a mom and raise little people!"

That doesn't mean that being parents to three little ones isn't tough. Vanessa told PopCulture.com over the holidays that while the couple feels "especially grateful" around the holidays, their 'dream gift' would be "a mommy and daddy day where we could sleep in and catch up around the house."

"That sounds perfect!" she mused.

Nick Lachey opens up on his Super Bowl traditions

SOURCE
By ANDREA PARK

Nick Lachey is having the "ultimate boys' week": He and a bunch of his friends are gearing up for Super Bowl Sunday in San Francisco after a ski trip to Lake Tahoe in California.

Lachey is also on radio row for a good cause; the Feeding America Entertainment Council member is working with young student chefs Taste of the NFL's annual Party with a Purpose on Saturday to help raise money for food banks across the country. We caught up with Lachey to see what he's up to and what he's excited for on Sunday.

What's it like on radio row?

It is madness, as you'd expect, but it's a lot of fun -- high energy.

Who are you hoping will win?

I don't really have a horse in this race, but I kind of want Peyton to be able to match Eli's two Super Bowl rings at Super Bowl 50. If Peyton wings, it's kind of a cool story. I'm rooting for him.

You're at the Super Bowl with PepsiCo for the Game Day Grub Match. What is that?

It's a competition with students from the Culinary Institute of America. The challenge was to come up with the perfect game day snack, but the recipe has to use three PepsiCo ingredients, and that's a lot more than just Pepsi -- there's Sabra hummus, Naked juices ...

The students have a lot to work with, and the winning group came up with a dim sum platter. I've been tasting a lot of things. They get to debut the creation tomorrow night at Party with a Purpose and they get some scholarships, tickets to the game and so it's a great project and a lot of fun.

What do you and your wife, Vanessa Lachey, serve at Super Bowl parties?

We always try to create a theme depending on where the Super Bowl is, like when it was in New Orleans, we had a cajun food truck come to the house. When it was in New York, we had a pizza truck come to the house. So we try to theme it on wherever the Super Bowl is that year.

There are a lot of big-name musicians who are playing on Sunday, and you yourself are a musician. Do you have anyone you're really excited to see?

Well, Coldplay. Everybody likes Coldplay, but I heard Bruno Mars may be part of this again, and I'm a big Bruno fan, so I'm looking forward to seeing that.

I interviewedyour wife in December and she told me your son, Camden, loves to sing.

He's definitely a singer. He loves to sing, and it's cool for me because I'm a writer, too, and he's starting to write lyrics to songs. He makes them up as he sings and it's cool to see your talents trickle down, so if he wants to be a singer one day that would be a lot of fun, but I'd be just as happy if he became a football player.

So as long as he's a singer or a football player.

Yeah, you know -- just one of those low-profile careers.

How do you divide time between your career and spending time with your family?

Your life changes after you have kids. It's all about the kids now and all about doing what's right for them as a parent and it's something you're glad to do, but we try and have a balance. She's working, I'm working -- whoever's got the time and I think we make a great team. This week, I'm up here having a guys' trip and she's at home taking care of the kids.

A guys' trip? Does that include your brother or any 98 Degrees bandmates?

It does not include them. I'm actually here with a bunch of buddies hanging out, so yeah, it's a boys' trip. We were in Tahoe earlier in the week doing some snowboarding and now we're at the Super Bowl, so it's the ultimate boys' week.

What other projects have you been working on?

I'm working on a TV project now, on the production side of things. It's a competition reality show I'm developing. I'm also working on getting back in the studio, working on new music. This past year I was working on a show for VH1, and that ended, so it's a good time to work on other stuff. Besides being a dad, that's kind of what I'm doing.

What is the upcoming album like?

I'm really going in next week, so I haven't even gotten into the studio and fleshed it out. I like to push a new project with a clean slate, so I'm not sure yet, but it's always exciting, so we'll see where I end up.

Former 90s Boy Band Heartthrob Nick Lachey Talks Super Bowl Snacking

Nick Lachey talks to us about PepsiCo’s Game Day Grub Match and his own Super Bowl snack cravings

Deciding which PepsiCo Game Day Grub Match snack was the tastiest might have been “the hardest thing he ever had to do.”

We spoke with Nick Lachey, TV personality and former 98 Degrees front-man, who was recently working with Pepsi in conjunction with its Game Day Grub Match contest that challenges culinary student teams to create the ultimate Super Bowl snack made with Pepsi products. We got Lachey to talk to us about his favorite Game Day snack, his own challenges in the kitchen, and thoughts on owning a bar with his brother.

The Daily Meal: Why did you decide to get involved with the Game Day Grub Match?

Nick Lachey: I’ve been involved with Feeding America for years now. This whole Grub Match thing culminates at the Super Bowl; the proceeds from that event go to food banks across the country. It’s a great way to celebrate the biggest sports weekend of the year.

What is your favorite Super Bowl food?

I’m definitely a pretzel guy. I got a chance today to try the winning dim sum platter and it was awesome. It was a chicken wing egg roll potsticker made with Cheetos, Sierra Mist, and pretzels.

What makes a great chicken wing?

I go for the bigger drumstick. It’s a little more meaty; you do all that work and you want to get good meat off of it. I like old faithful Buffalo sauce… you know, I think some people get a little too cute with wing sauces. In my younger days, I’d go to a place with my buddies and get the hottest thing on the menu and it was literally painful to eat. I can’t do that anymore!

Have you ever cooked with soda before like the Game Day Grub Match?

I have not, but I’m the first to admit that I’m not a professional cook… I’m a professional eater. The stuff I create in the kitchen is not the stuff of legends. It’s up on the website.

What are the challenges of operating a bar [Lachey’s in Cincinnati] with your brother?

I think you can plan for how it’s going to go, but until it’s open and you see what people’s likes and dislikes are, you literally have to open and be willing to adjust and change as you go through the first year; we just celebrated one year actually.

Have the other members of 98 Degrees been to the bar?

Justin’s office is 50 feet from the bar and he’s always there. (Laughs.) He may be here a little too much. Jeff has not, but he’s forgiven because he doesn’t live in Cincinnati.

When you were in 98 Degrees, did you and the guys have any weird pre- or post-show eating rituals?

It’s usually we’d eat post show… you don’t want to burp through your hour and a half set! When you’re on the road, you make do. A lot of times it was Chili’s or Applebee’s or one of those middle-of-nowhere chicken sandwich type places. I loved sourdough pretzels though. Those were probably the closest thing I had to a ritual.

So I invited Nick Lachey to come to my tailgate…

As you may know, with many of your folks’ help, I won tickets to the Super Bowl as a part of a blogger contest sponsored by P&G promoting their Fancestry site. (Yes, I’m very excited about this. Thanks everso y’all). The Fancestry site, which is still active, tells you what sort of fan you are after filling out some questions.

P&G is a great brand to work with because: 1. They give me great free stuff to give to fans, and great free stuff is always a good thing; 2. A number of their brands, quality ones I use every day, have an association with the NFL, and they give away cool NFL prizes like Super Bowl tickets. Win-win.

They also contact sports bloggers with emails like this, “Hey you want to interview Nick Lachey? He’s talking about Tide giving away Super Bowl tickets in our Show Us Your Colors campaign.”

Why sure!

Sports blogger life can sometimes a little random, “Honey, I got to go, I have a call I need to make to Nick Lachey.”  (Note to my female friends:  I do not have his number. It was a corporate conference call dial-in. That’s how these things work.  Besides, he’s married to someone likely way more hotter than you are. No offense but c’mon seriously.)

So the following is my interview with Nick Lachey (@NickSLachey), singer and the world’s most famous diehard Cincinnati Bengals fan.  The Show Us Your Colors campaign ends on Friday.  So do this right now! All you have to do is go to Tide’s Facebook page, upload a fan pic, and you are entered to win. Easy.

I’m a big believer in you can’t win anything in life unless you try, and so many of the best experiences in my lifehave come from that philosophy.

My Interview with Nick Lachey.

Me: So you are a diehard Bengals fan? In a wide open AFC, what do you think of your Bengals’ chances down the stretch?

Nick: “I am a huge Bengals fan. As we’ve seen the last couple of years, it’s how you finish the year. You know the Giants finished strong last year and obviously won the Super Bowl, the Packers did the same the year before, so I’m just hoping we can get on a hot streak here and get into the playoffs, and at that point, all bets are off, anything can happen. I like the way we are playing now. In past years, if the Bengals lost two in a row, they’d probably pack it in, and this year, we’ve kind of rallied and we got to keep playing well again.”

Me: So were you at the Texans – Bengals playoff game last season?

Nick: “I did not go to the game, I actually went to the game the month before when we blew the game and the Texans came back and beat us. That was an ugly loss for my Bengals, thanks very much for that Houston.”

Me: So if somehow, the Bengals and Texans meetup in the playoffs and have a game in Houston, do you want to come to my tailgate? Texas. BBQ.

Nick: “I’d love to. I’m a big fan of Connor Barwin. He went to school here in Cincinnati so I know him a little bit. I actually like the Texans. I like the team you guys have. My buddy Matt Leinart used to play for you the last couple of years as well so I kind of started following you.”

Me: So the Texans are your Plan B AFC Team?

Nick: “It is definitely my Plan B AFC team. I like them better than many other AFC teams, including the Steelers and Colts.” (Steph note: Well of course. If you aren’t a Steelers or Colts fan, you can’t be a fan of their teams one bit because their fans, as a group, are insufferable).

Me: So are you one of those NFL fans who goes to the Super Bowl whether your team is in or not?

Nick: “I’ve been lucky to go many Super Bowls over the years. I’ve been involved with a charity along with Jimmy Johnson so we went down there for that, been fortunate enough to be able to go. If I was waiting for the Bengals to go, it might be quite a few years. I can’t hold out for that, and I need to go when I can.”

Me: And New Orleans?

Nick: “This year should be a lot of fun in New Orleans. It’s actually a part of the promotion I’m doing right now with Tide, the “Show Us Your Colors” campaign, you actually can win a trip to the Super Bowl for two lucky people. It’s a great opportunity to get down there to New Orleans and have some fun.”

Me: My question with Show Us Your Colors is: Do you have any wild Bengals gear?

Nick: “I do have some wild Bengals gear. I actually took a picture of myself and my son Camden in his first Bengals’ onesie. That’s how this Show Us Your Colors thing works, we are encouraging people to post a picture of themselves in their team’s colors in a moment that was really meaningful to them. For me, it was the first time I put my son in a Bengals onesie, and we watch a game together. Whatever that moment is for you, take a picture of it, post it on Tide’s Facebook page, and then you are automatically entered for a chance to win a trip to the Super Bowl.

I didn’t put up this particular picture, but I do have a Bengals construction helmet. It is pretty atrocious.”

This is not Nick Lachey. This is a visual aid of a guy rocking some Zubaz pants. Also can double as birth control. (Picture via @SportzAssassin)

Me: Yeah, my picture is over there in the Texans section. I’m wearing my favorite red suede, fringe jacket my friend Houston artist Fletcher Stafford painted for me.  But what I’m wondering is whether you own any Bengals Zubaz pants? I think out of all the Zubaz, the Bengals’ Zubaz are the best. (Steph note: Look at them. Dare to disagree! “Best” of course means so bad they are awesome):

Nick: “I do not have any Bengals’ Zubaz, no. Zubaz are kind of a new thing, we’ve never really gotten in to Zubaz here.”

Me: No, I think they are old school,  an 80′s thing. (Steph note: They are! Zubaz FAQs)

Nick:  “Oh really, I don’t know. My Zubaz knowledge is fairly limited.”

Me: I think the perfect outfit for a Bengals fan who is also a singer would be a fitted suit made of tiger-printed velvet. (Steph note: What is the point of being a singer if you can’t wear completely ridiculous outfits on a regular basis? See e.g. Jagger, Mick).

Nick: “We have a local guy here in town who wears these kind of outfits, Bootsy Collins. He definitely has an all velvet Bengal outfit. He rocks it well. I stick with the Bengals jersey and hat.“

I’d like to thank Nick for being a part of  my top 10 random experiences being a sports blogger, at least of the experiences I care to discuss publicly.

If you want more random interview stuff, I suggest checking out the answers I gave to Zach Law which I thought was going to be a Texans Q&A but ended up being more of a philosophical, social media, product placement discussion.
