The announcement that a third child was on the way was made back in September, through another post on  Vanessa’s Instagram account. The caption read: “We got a new crib! Now we need a new CRIB!” The photo showed Vanessa cradling her baby bump and posing in front of the family’s new home along with Nick and their two older children, son Camden, 5, and daughter Brooklyn, 11 months. Baby Phoenix officially makes the adorable celebrity family a #LacheyPartyOf5.

Nick Lachey has expressed in the past how much he enjoys being a dad. Lachey opened up to People after Camden’s birth.

I had a lot of expectations for what fatherhood would be because I thought about it for so long but when it happens, it blows your mind every day. This little creature that you created, that looks to you and depends on you, and just brings you so much joy, you just can’t put it into any kind of words. Your kids are the biggest blessing you could ever possibly have in life.

Congratulations, Vanessa and Nick, on your growing family!
