Vanessa Lachey Shares Son's Sweet Reaction to Leaving Hawaii, Moving Back to Mainland: 'Aloha Coming with Us'

The couple is parents to son Camden, 11, daughter Brooklyn, 9, and son Phoenix, 7

Vanessa Lachey and Nick Lachey's son has a positive outlook on their family's big move.

Earlier this week, Vanessa, 43, shared on Instagram that she and her family of five are saying goodbye to the Aloha State after three years of living there. The move comes after the cancellation of NCIS: Hawai’i, on which Vanessa has played Jane Tennant since 2021.

Upon their exit, the mom of three snapped a photo of a pink plumeria flower left alone on the ground — and her son's sweet reaction to the image deserved its own Instagram Stories post.

"I showed this pic to my son, he said 'Wow Mom, that says so much without showing a lot,' " she wrote over the photo. "I said, 'What do you see?' He said, 'We are moving, but we are not sad. I see happiness and Aloha coming with us.'"

"(?? forever with us!!!)" the proud mom added.

In an Instagram post on Tuesday, Aug. 13, Vanessa shared several images of the family decked out in leis and colorful clothing. She began the post, “A Hui Hou” ??,” which means “until we meet again.”

“Home is where the heart is…,” she continued. “Hawai’i, you will always have my heart! Mahalo Nui Loa [Thank you very much] for 3 beautiful, magical years you gave me and my family!”

"Now, on to the next adventure. Off into the sunset we go!” she ended the post, including the hashtags #LacheyPartyOf5 and #AlohaSpirit.
