Love Is Blind host, Vanessa Lachey, opened up about her approach to eating to Us Weekly. “I think portion control is always the biggest thing that people can do, because it’s impossible to say, ‘Change the way you eat.’ “I have three kids, like, I’m gonna constantly be eating whatever’s on their plate. That’s just how it is.”2. Nick Lachey

He opened up about how he approaches their relationship in an interview with TODAY. “Your kids are absorbing your energy and your vibe, and if it’s tense and it’s not working, they’re going to pick up on that. That’s detrimental to them. The healthier you are as couple, the healthier you are going to be as parents.”
