Letting your partner go to Sin City without you is one thing, but letting him go with a bunch of supermodels seems a bit risky.  Apparently Vanessa Minnillo doesn’t think so!  Minnillo recently let future hubby Nick Lachey go to Las Vegas alone Thursday to host a Sports Illustrated swim party while she stayed behind for auditions. Talk about a cool fiance. Even though Vanessa wasn’t on Vanity nightclub’s list that night, she was on Lachey’s mind. “She looks as good if not better than any of the models you see behind me in a swimsuit,” he told E! Online. And as far as the wedding plans go, Lachey assures us that they’re “getting there slowly but surely…we’re inching our way along.”

It’s about time! People reports that Nick Lachey has finally popped the question to longtime girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo last week near a beach in California.  Nick Lachey took to Twitter to confirm the happy news.  He tweeted, “Hey all.  If anyone’s heard the rumors of my engagement, they are absolutely true!  Vanessa and I couldn’t be happier.  Thanks for all the love.”  Nick Lachey, 36, and Vanessa Minnillo, 29, have been dating since 2006 and the bride-to-be has been recently needling her beau about marriage.  Last year Vanessa Minnillo said, “Once again it looks as if I’m always the bridesmaid but never the bride.”  Sounds like Nick Lachey got the hint when he sealed the deal with an Asscher-cut diamond flanked with trapezoids from Bader & Garrin, according to a source.  This is Lachey’s second marriage, after divorcing from first wife Jessica Simpson in 2005.
