They have dodged rumours for months, but it turns out Nick Lachey and Vanessa Mannillo have called it quits ending their 3 year relationship.  Vanessa’s rep:

“They have amicably split but remain good friends who still greatly care for one another.”

I don’t know why people are surprised that couples deny a split until they actually do split.  People are making a big deal out of the fact that a couple of weeks ago she said her relationship was doing great.  What is she going to say ‘our relationship is spiralling toward the crapper’??

Are you surprised by this split?
