Disney magic landed just in time for Brooklyn Lachey‘s 11th birthday. The Love Is Blind hosts, Nick (52) and Vanessa (45), surprised their only daughter with a last-minute park trip and posted the joyful moments for fans.
Birthday Surprise at the Parks
Vanessa’s caption said it all: “Spontaneous Disney Day is ALWAYS a great idea!” Photos captured Brooklyn mid-jump, grinning ear-to-ear, plus shots of the three kids together and proud parents beside the birthday girl. The couple share Brooklyn, Camden (13), and Phoenix (9).
Parenting as a Team
Nick told News Of Los Angeles consistency keeps their household steady:
- Dad admits he’s “a little more stern” on discipline
- Mom enforces rules when needed
- They never let kids play one parent against the other
> “Kids crave consistency. As long as you are consistent and on the same page, you’re going to be all right,” Nick explained.
Love as the Non-Negotiable
One rule trumps everything else in the Lachey home: telling the children they’re loved-especially after discipline. Vanessa shared:
> “The one thing we’ve always agreed on is that we will always, always let our children know how much we love them.”
She says the verbal and physical affirmation she missed in childhood drives this daily habit.
Social-Media Boundaries
Despite two famous parents, the kids won’t scroll anytime soon. Vanessa signed a school pact delaying phones until sixth grade and still honors the limit, even after the family left Hawaii where she filmed NCIS.
