Vanessa Moves In As Nick Lachey Moves On

Pretty Vanessa is said to be moving from New York to Los Angeles to join Nick in his Beverly Hills home, reports the New York Post newspaper. The 26-year-old brunette has set her sights on pursuing a career as an actress, and hopes a move to Los Angeles will open some doors for her in Hollywood.

Vanessa, a former MTV presenter, currently works as the New York correspondent for US TV show 'Entertainment Tonight'. Nick and Vanessa began dating shortly after Nick's divorce from Jessica Simpson was finalised in June last year.

Nick, 22, dated singer-and-actress Jessica for four years before they tied the knot in October 2002. The couple starred in their own MTV reality show 'Newlyweds', before announcing their split in November 2005.

'Blonde Ambition' star Jessica, 26 - who recently became a brunette - is currently dating US singer John Mayer.
