Lachey Romance Story

After years of playing second fiddle to his more famous wife, Nick Lachey has found a woman who will supportively cheer from the sidelines as he emotes on stage. Last weekend, as the almost-ex of Jessica Simpson rehearsed his soul-baring ballad "What's Left of Me" in Toronto ahead of his performance at the MuchMusic Video Awards, a "beaming" Vanessa Minnillo stood nearby singing along, reports Us Weekly. "She shouted, 'I loved it!'" an insider tells the mag. "He then gave her a bearhug." The fledgling flames, who in recent weeks have been spotted cozying up in Atlantic City and Cabo San Lucas, later hit a local hotspot, where Vanessa shook her groove thing to Nelly's "Hot in Herre" as Nick looked on. They returned to their hotel in the wee small hours, but were back out the next night, when they got into the Canadian spirit by playing some hockey -- of the tonsil variety -- at another club. "They were fully making out," says a spywitness. "Clearly they were both having a good time." Despite the PDA, "it's not serious yet," according to the mag, which says Vanessa is still seeing sometime squeeze Derek Jeter.
