Nick and Vanessa were married on July 15, 2011 on a tropical island.

At the time Vanessa told People Magazine "For us this is just a stepping stone to do what we ultimately want and that's to start a family together".  Well, Nick and Vanessa you are now on your way to fulfulling that goal. 

Nick said, that Vanessa is due late summer or early Fall and that he doesn't know the sex of the baby yet.

Nick  told Kelly that he and Vanessa definitely want to know the sex of their child and that if it is a girl they would like to name her Sophia.  He also mentioned he wasn't sure what they would name a boy but that a favourite name of his is Colin John Lachey.

The name Sophia has Greek origins and means Wisdom.  According to the Babycentre.com Sophia is the third most popular name for a girl.

Kelly told Nick the story about how they came to name their daughter Lola.  They were singing "Coppacabanna" and then they stopped at the line "Her name was Lola, she was a show girl" and they thought that Lola Consuelos sounded great.

Congratulations Nick and Vanessa!
