Is it true, has Nick Lachey and Vanessa Millano’s “love boat” sunk? According to internet gossip reports, Vanessa was a no show at Nick’s Super Bowl party in Tampa. It was reported that he was caught boarding a yacht at 2 am in the morning with a herd of hotties.

Nick has been keeping a low profile lately. He surfaced last week, to come to his ex wife’s defense over her recent weight gain. Nick who is a Scorpio, is one sexy stud. As of April 2007, Nick officially moved in with his passionate girl Vanessa, another Scorpio. They purchased an apartment in New York City’s Atelier Condo Building, they also share Nick Lachey’s other homes in Bel Air, California and Tacoma, Washington.

E! is reporting that Nick and Vanessa are still very much a couple: Vanessa Minnillo, who’s also a big football fan, had been expected to join him at events, so what happened? Nothing scandalous. “She had to work [at the] last minute,” says Nick’s rep of her absence, adding that the two are still a happy couple.

Who was Nick’s date for the “Super Skins” party? His brother Drew. His new album “Coming Up for Air” is scheduled for release this summer. You can catch Vanessa on her new reality series, “True Beauty.”
