Stars, they’re just like us! While average couples may have their own celebrity hall pass, despite her star status, Vanessa Lachey also has her own crush on a fellow celebrity.
The NCIS: Hawai’i actress is already married to a celeb, Nick Lachey of course, but that doesn’t stop her from also having a celebrity hall pass agreement with him.
The hosts of The Ultimatum have been married for over ten years – they tied the knot in 2011 – and though they are certainly committed to each other, there’s one A-Lister Vanessa would make an exception for.
Speaking on the reality show’s reunion about what star they have permission to potentially hook up with, Nick already was well aware of who his wife’s crush is: none other than Ryan Reynolds.
Coveted as Ryan is for many, Nick was unfazed by his wife’s crush, and joked: “Ryan’s gonna be a busy guy,” adding: “He’s gonna be worn out.”
Ryan of course has been married to fellow A-Lister Blake Lively since 2012, and the two share kids James, eight, Inez, six, and Betty, three, plus a fourth child they have yet to reveal the name or sex of, who they welcomed around the 2022-2023 holiday season.

Then Nick noted: “Is it a flirt or is it a hook-up? Hall pass is a hook-up in my book.”

Shortly after Nick’s divorce, Vanessa starred in one of his music videos, as his love interest in the video for “What’s Left of Me.”
