Nick Lachey's Shocking Appearance Change: What Did He Do?

Fans have tuned into another season of Love Is Blind, with the eighth season coming out last month. However, fans have noticed something different about the host’s appearance. An expert has recently weighed in on what could be behind this change.

Nick Lachey Went From 98 Degrees To Reality TV Host

Lachey first came to prominence as part of the boyband 98 Degrees. Later, he and his then–wife singer, Jessica Simpson, starred the reality series, Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica. Lachey and Simpson divorced in 2006, with Lachey later marrying Vanessa Minnillo in 2011.

Lachey would also later appear in a variety of reality shows, often as a host or co-host. This includes shows like The Sing-Off, Love Is Blind, The Ultimatum, and Perfect Match.

However, as noted by Radar Online, Lachey’s recent appearance on Love Is Blind has caught some fans off-guard. In fact, a few fans are questioning what’s going on with Lachey on social media.

A user on Tik-Tok uploaded a clip of Love Is Blind, showcasing Lachey during the new season. They questioned, “Is it just me? What looks different here?”

Taking to the comments, a few fans agreed that Lachey did not look like himself. As one fan commented, “Ya’ll seen Santa Clause 2 where they make the toy clone version of Santa? It’s giving that.”

An Expert Discussed What Could Have Happened

Plastic surgery expert Dr. Giselle Prado-Wright spoke with the publication about what could have possibly changed the host’s appearance. While the doctor did not work on Lachey herself, she noted, “On the newest season of Love Is Blind, it looks like Nick Lachey may have had too much filler, giving him a puffy, rounded appearance.”

“This type of overfilled look can sometimes happen when too much volume is added to the midface, which can blur natural contours and create an almost swollen effect. It’s a similar change to what we’ve seen in celebrities like Cameron Diaz in her newest Netflix movie.”

Some fans have noted that they feel the show should consider new hosts. Taking to social media, one fan wrote, “Please, for the love of God, get Nick and Vanessa Lachey off my screen and let Andy Cohen host these reunions, I beg.”

Another shared, “They need to stop letting Nick and Vanessa Lachey host these love shows on Netflix. They are boring.”

On social media, many fans similarly shared comments on how much Lachey has changed in appearance. Some comments included:

“Nick Lachey looks like he’s wearing a Nick Lachey mask.”
“I think he had his eyes moved closer together.”
“He looks like an entirely different person.”
“WTF did Nick do to his hair?! This is a HORRIBLE look! I am even second guessing, is this really him??”
“What did he do to his face is what I was wondering? Way too much plastic surgery or something.”
“He looks like a wax figure!! What on earth?”
