Vanessa Lachey Gets Adorably Emotional While Reflecting on Her Career (Exclusive)
Vanessa Lachey is saying aloha to the islands.
Following the cancellation of her show NCIS: Hawai’i after three seasons, Vanessa and husband Nick Lachey—as well as kids Camden, 11, Brooklyn, 9, and Phoenix, 7—are leaving Hawaii and bidding a fond farewell to the lush paradise.
“‘A Hui Hou’ Home is where the heart is,” Vanessa wrote on Instagram Aug. 13 alongside photos of her family overlooking the ocean. “Hawai’i, you will always have my heart! Mahalo Nui Loa for 3 beautiful, magical years you gave me and my family!”
She added, “Now, on to the next adventure. Off into the sunset we go! #LacheyPartyOf5 #AlohaSpirit”
Vanessa played NCIS team leader Jane Tennant on the show since 2021 and was “gutted, confused, blindsided” when the series was cancelled in April, as she wrote on Instagram Stories at the time.
The former TRL host took some time to reflect, even returning to the spot where she’d filmed the first episode, writing in a May 1 Instagram post, “You see… we aren’t meant to be here forever, we are on borrowed time. We appreciate what was given to us for our use, we nurture it and then we leave it better for the next dreamer.”
