Vanessa Lachey and Nick Lachey Are Moving Out of Hawaii With 3 Kids

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."

"I'm wishing for my crew and my cast that we all remember the Beauty of what we had," she continued, "we will spread this Aloha in every direction we go."
And while she wished they had gotten the chance for a "proper good-bye," she was still thankful for the opportunity.
"In Hawai'i we don't say 'Good-Bye,'" she wrote, "we say 'A Hui Hou' it means 'until we meet again.' To you all & especially the beloved fans… A Hui Hou."
Vanessa—who was born in the Philippines and moved around the world while her dad was in the U.S. Air Force—took pride in the fact that she was the first female lead of the NCIS franchise, an accomplishment she told E! News in April that she "would have never dreamed but realize now is everything I've ever wanted."
"As an AAPI Woman, Wife, Mother, Colleague & Friend, I am more proud than ever to have been your Jane Tennant on TV," she shared on Instagram May 6. "This journey has taught me to continue to push the envelope and break glass ceilings. I encourage you ALL to as well!"
