Reality tv show hosts Nick Lachey and his wife Vanessa, recently opened up about one of their odd habits while traveling. The actor married Vanessa after the duo met on MTV's "Total Request Live" set in 2006. They have gone on to have three children together, Phoenix, Camden, and Brooklyn.
Besides Nick and Vanessa's acting career, the duo is on two Netflix dating reality shows, namely "Love is Blind" and "The Ultimatum," as their co-hosts. They joined "LiB" around two years ago, while the couple's stint on "The Ultimatum" began earlier this year.

Nick Lachey Likes Moving Hotel Furniture
While talking to E! News, Nick and Vanessa talked about how traveling together changed the dynamic of their relationship. The duo got married in 2015 and, over the years, has gone on to co-host several reality tv shows.
During the interview, Vanessa, who signed a partnership with hotels.com recently, admitted that their time together revealed parts of them they weren't previously privy to. One was Nick's odd habit of moving furniture in a hotel room. The show host told E!, "I learned that when we go to hotels, Nick likes to move the furniture."
Vanessa continued, "If the TV isn't matched to the bed, he'll move either the dresser with the tv or if the TV's mounted in the wall, then he'll move the bed." Nick revealed that it drove him "crazy" when the dresser wasn't properly parallel to the wall.
Vanessa Lachey On Her Vacation Habits
Although Vanessa joked that she usually just sat aside while Nick did his alterations to the room, the show host revealed that she had her own unconventional quirk while on vacations.
She revealed that she preferred to take off the comforter while they slept and place it at the end of the bed. "I don't sleep with a comforter, so we pull them off," Vanessa said. "I pull it down, and I fold it at the bottom of the bed, and I know I'm on vacation."
The reality star revealed something similar in a much earlier interview with US Weekly. She claimed she had "weird OCD habits" and liked to "fold my napkin three times, in a triangle, after I eat."
Vanessa And Nick Lachey Are Giving Out 'Cuffing Season Stays'
The reality show hosts are currently giving young couples "Cuffing Season Stays" to go on weekend trips together and test the strength of their love. The offer is in partnership with Hotels.com and will select five couples who have been together for six months or less to vacation at selected properties.
According to Vanessa, the purpose of the mini vacations was to point out exactly where cracks in a relationship are.
"You gotta be able to just hang," the actress said per E!. "Even if you're going on a scheduled trip and you're a type A person, that's all good, but just be able to not complain and not be mad. If you're complaining about everything on a vacation, then I would check for attitude."
The show host also previously revealed that going on a trip with someone was a quick way to determine if you are compatible with the person. "You learn more about your partner's interests and routines during a weekend away than any dating profile could tell you," she said. "You also learn a lot about yourself and your wants and needs. It's the ultimate chemistry test."
Vanessa And Nick Lachey Attended Couple's Therapy
While talking to Today Parents, Nick revealed that he and Vanessa attended couples therapy together, and it impacted them in more ways than one. He said it helped them "actively listen to each other and provide feedback" and be better parents to their children.
"We went before we got married, and we still go to this day. I think that's an important part of maintaining a strong relationship," Nick said. "Your kids are absorbing your energy and your vibe, and if it's tense and it's not working, they're going to pick up on that. That's detrimental to them."
"The Ultimatum" host went on to liken going for couples' therapy to being an athlete and said being the best was more important than trying to keep things private. "Marriage is challenging – and getting sound advice from an impartial third party is one of the healthiest things you could possibly do," Nick added.
