Who is Nick Lachey?

Nick Lachey is an American singer, songwriter, actor and television personality who shot to fame more because of his personal life than his professional ventures. A passionate singer and sports aficionado, he was perplexed and spoiled for choice as to what to take up professionally during his early years. No sooner his passion for music transcended and made way for him to be a part of the boy band, 98 Degrees. Along with his brother, a high school friend and an Ohio native, the quartet achieved quite fame and recognition for their work. They released a total of 5 albums in the 1990s that sold 10 million records. However, the scaling popularity zoomed a little more when he got into an affair with fellow pop star Jessica Simpson. The two eventually married and were a part of the reality television series, ‘Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica’ and ‘The Nick & Jessica Variety Hour’. His personal life made headlines again when he separated from his wife. It was after his break-up that he came up with an album, ‘What’s Left of Me’ wherein he channelized his entire emotional outburst. The album was a raving success and gained him much popularity.
