RUMOR: Vanessa Minnillo and Nick Lachey expecting?

Update: Many readers in the comments are guessing that Vanessa is buying holiday or baby shower gifts for her TRL co-worker LaLa Vasquez, who’s expecting a baby boy. Petit Tresor has a registry for Lala with a due date of January 13th.

TMZ is reporting that Vanessa Minnillo and Nick Lachey may be expecting. Vanessa was apparently spotted shopping at Petit Tresor, a favorite among celebrity moms for clothes for a baby boy. Vanessa apparently bought a baby basket for $189, a frog plush toy for $38 and a blanket for $269, along with other items. The source also says she did not have them gift wrapped. Adding fuel to the fire, is the fact that Vanessa has been wearing loose tops on TRL for the past couple of weeks. If she is expecting, this will be the first child for both stars, who have been together since early this year.

NO!! She is probably just buying baby stuff for Lala who is having a BOY! DUH

Talk about a beautiful baby! I really hope this rumor is true because Nick has said in the past that he wants a family & Jessica wanted to work on her career. He & Vanessa always look happy together. I’m sure becoming an uncle made him want his own even more. Congratulations if it’s true!

Could be. There seems to be a rash of men leaving women who can’t/won’t/haven’t have a kid with them and then their new girls popping up pregnant pretty quickly, in the celebrity world and among people I know. I recently had a “not ready for kids” friend lose her boyfriend of 5 years to a girl who pops up pregnant after just a few months of dating him and announce they are getting married.

I highly doubt she’s pregnant and far enough along to know if she’s having a boy or girl. Most people who have an u/s to determine gender do so around 20 weeks into the pregnancy. She was probably just shopping for a friend or family member. If she really was pregnant and trying to hide it, she’d order off a website or get an assistant to buy stuff for her.

I think it would be great for him becasue all he really wanted was a family. i think Jessica was just too young and immature to really be apart of their marriage.

CONGRATS to them if they are. I hope they get married soon as well.

- Layla & Bean's Mommy on December 17th, 2006

No- I think she went shopping for her Co-Worker LaLa from MTV who is expecting a baby boy with Carmelo Anthony.

- Sarah on December 17th, 2006

I don’t think she is expecting, but I secretly hope she is. Nick would make an excellent father, we all know how much he is dying to have children. He deserves some happiness after his messy divorce!

- Perri on December 17th, 2006

No way! I think she bought those gifts for her friend and TRL co host LaLa who is supposed to be having a boy,

- eodwife4life on December 17th, 2006

She is probably just buying stuff for Lala coz they work together on TRL!

- mspivey2 on December 17th, 2006

There was also a rumor going around on some website that Nick called Jessica and told her how he was going to marry Vanessa. He supposedly wanted Jessica to hear it from him first.
I think this whole thing is true!

- sacha on December 17th, 2006

congrats if they are, but TMZ is about 2% true, so you never know…

- Brynna on December 17th, 2006

well, Petit Tresor doesn’t have a Vasquez in their registry system, so who knows!! I HOPE Nick and Vanessa are getting married and maybe expecting! That would be GREAT!!!

- tink1217 on December 17th, 2006

Maybe that is what that phone call he made to Jessica was really about…?

- Samantha on December 17th, 2006

I dont watch TRL, however I saw a pic of her with Taylor Hicks, I think that is who it was. It was a pic from TRL, and I thought she looks pregnant. But it might have to do with the top she had on.

Speaking of LaLa, I just heard on the news about her fiancee and baby daddy Carmelo Anthony’s disgusting escapades during the New York Knicks game in which he punched a Knicks player in the face during a brawl. I won’t say my feelings on the subject in their entirety in this post because I know it won’t be posted if I do. All I have to say is that he ought to be ashamed of himself for embarassing his fiancee and unborn child this way and I hope they suspend his sorry behind indefinitely.

- Lauren on December 17th, 2006

i dont think u understand quite what happend with melo so dont jump to conlusions b4 u know the facts. and probably teh gifts were for lala.

- rachel on December 17th, 2006

I would not be one bit surprised if she is pregnant, but my money is one the stuff being for Lala.

- Alicia on December 17th, 2006

They would make a beautiful baby!!

- Doreen on December 17th, 2006

Oh Lord, Do we REALLY know that Nick called Jessica? Either way I think she’s shopping for LaLa. I DO think these 2 seem to be far more suited for oneanother. Nick and Jessica always seemed so mismatched to me for some reason. If and when they choose to become a family… that would be one beauuuutiful babe.

- Campbell on December 17th, 2006

I doubt she is, but that would be cool. That would be a reason for her to quit smoking like Nick wants her to.

- Kori on December 17th, 2006

Petit Tresor does have a registry for Lala in their system, so I’m thinking Vanessa was probably buying for her.

- mcgraws462 on December 17th, 2006

No I dont think she is.. Its possible, but Im just not sure she is.. She could be buying stuff for anybody..

- Stephanie on December 17th, 2006

I thought this website was no longer reporting on rumors?

From Danielle, CBB Publisher: Actually, we never said that. We asked readers if they still wanted us to report on rumors and 90% said yes. (http://www.celebrity-babies.com/2006/12/rumors_rumors_r.html)

- Melissa on December 17th, 2006

I was, and still am a HUGE HUGE fan of Nick and Jessica. However, I wish them both the best. I dont think Vanessa is going to have a baby right now, but I am sure Nick would make a wonderful father. And I am sure Vanessa would make a good mother as well. Regardless of the baby or not, I wish them luck!

- Stina on December 18th, 2006

I heard that same “rumor” that Nick called Jessica to inform her that he was going to marry Vanessa. However if the “Rumors” are true, Hmm who knows. I as well do hope Vanessa is pregnant, that baby would be gorgeous. Again she could be shopping for someone else, I mean it is the holidays after all but I have my fingers crossed..hmm

- Natalie S. on December 18th, 2006

well, I looked at LaLa’s registry and nothing has been bought off of it. Hmmmm…. And, when I checked Petit Tresor yesterday there was nothing for LaLa at all. I guess time will tell.

- tink1217 on December 18th, 2006

Most likely Venessa was just buying something for LaLa, or another pregnant friend, but I doubt she’s actually pregs yet.

As far as baby registries go, I’d take what they have listed with a grain of salt. I and my sister have each bought items for people from their registries, and sometimes the items still don’t get deleted at some places. (My sister’s friend got two sets of glass tumblers from her list because the functionality on the registry didn’t work right.)

Anyway, what’s to say that Venessa didn’t go old school and just bought whatever she wanted for Lala, not just what she registered* for…or if she (Lala) didn’t even have an offical account with Petit Tresor, then Venessa could’ve purchased anything for her friend.

(*Also who’s to say if Lala was registered, that she didn’t regster under a different name or something? Is ‘Lala’ really her first name, for example?)

- Autumn on December 19th, 2006

she looked preggers talking to beyonce today on trl. but who knows!

nick would be an awesome father, but it may not be the best timing…

- msflutter on December 19th, 2006

if a women looks at baby clothes does that mean she is pregnant? really a ridiculous rumour.
