Nick Lachey was a member of the band 98 Degrees. Other band members were his brother Drew Lachey, Justin Jeffre and Jeff Timmons. 98 Degrees have released 4 albums to date. Their debut album was the self-titled 98 Degrees, however the band's first real success came with their follow up album 98 Degrees and Rising. Other albums include This Christmas and Revelation. In 2002 they released a compilation album "The Collection", and at that point 98 Degrees has sold over 10 million records.

Currently the group is on hiatus with each member pursuing personal interests. They are expected to start work on their next album later this year.

As of early 2006, both Nick Lachey and former bandmate Jeff Timmons have stated that their group, 98 Degrees, will have another album in the near future. According to sources, after Nick Lachey and Jeff Timmons both release their sophomore solo albums, 98 Degrees will be working on their next album.

Nick Lachey was born on the border of Kentucky and Virginia in Harlan, Kentucky to Cate Fopma-Leimbach and John Lachey. Growing up in Ohio, Nick Lachey attended Cincinnati's well regarded public School for Creative and Performing Arts, developing his vocal talent and aspiring to become an entertainer. After graduation, Nick Lachey began studying at Miami University in Ohio, majoring in sports medicine. Nick Lachey also became a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. While there, Nick Lachey realized his dream and followed his SCPA pals to Los Angeles. Nick Lachey with his friend Jeff Timmons plus his brother Drew Lachey and classmate Justin Jeffre all auditioned in Hollywood and formed the 1990s boy band 98 Degrees.

In October of 2005 it was alleged by an Ohio State University student named Danielle Calo in Star magazine that Nick Lachey coerced her into a hotel room in Columbus, Ohio for a make-out session. Nick Lachey's representatives denied the rumors, and it was later reported that Calo later called WNCI's Morning Zoo radio show and denied most of the claims she made in the Star interview. Nick Lachey was in town to film a broadcast of ESPN's College GameDay.

Though Nick Lachey and Simpson spent many hours on other people's TV screens while at home and first married, the two insisted that they lead a very private life. They consistently denied troubles in their marriage, and made a point to be seen together denying the claims. Reports surfaced that Simpson had an affair with co-star Johnny Knoxville on The Dukes of Hazzard set in 2005.

Even though they constantly denied the rumors the couple announced that they had separated in November 2005. They soon sold their mansion they shared to Justin Berfield, and Simpson filed for divorce on December 16, 2005. She cited "irreconcilable differences." Simpson has been seen wearing her wedding band on a necklace, which has sparked rumors of a reunion. Nick Lachey has said that he still loves Simpson and he always will. A spokesperson for Simpson told the press on July 1st, 2006, that the divorce had been finalized; it has since been established that the parties have settled their financial agreement, with Nick Lachey agreeing to acquire less than he is legally capable of attaining to avoid any further conflict.

Although Nick Lachey has been linked to Laguna Beach star Kristin Cavallari, Drew's former dance partner from DWTS Cheryl Burke and stylist Kim Kardashian, Nick Lachey is currently dating MTV TRL & Entertainment Tonight correspondent Vanessa Minnillo. This was confirmed when photos of Nick Lachey and Minnillo swimming and canoodling in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico surfaced on the internet in June 2006. Nick Lachey attended the 2006 MuchMusic Video Awards on June 18, 2006, and was accompanied by Minnillo at the afterparty, and earlier during rehearsals. Vanessa reportedly confirmed their relationship to celebrity blogger, Perez Hilton in early July 2006. His divorce from Simpson was officially finalized on June 30, 2006, though the financial aspect of their divorce remained unresolved.

On August 2006, Nick Lachey's friends opened up to People magazine, about his relationship with Vanessa.
