The "Newlyweds" stars - who tied the knot in 2002 - filed for a legal separation last December. However, the couple had their marriage officially dissolved on Friday.

The couple announced the breakdown of their relationship a day before Thanksgiving last year.

The handsome star, Nick Lachey is reportedly dating his old flame, "Entertainment Tonight" reporter, Vanessa Minnillo.

Lachey has been linked with a host of beauties since splitting from his wife, Jessica Simpson, and reportedly was spotted enjoying a casino date with news reporter, Minnillo in Atlantic City.

"Newlyweds" hunk Nick Lachey has been caught dirty dancing with sexy TV host Vanessa Minnillo. The 25-year-old is the second stunner the singer-turned-reality-TV-star has been linked with in recent weeks.

A drinker at New York's trendy Underbar on Monday night revealed: "I saw tongues on skin."

Nick Lachey has apparently wasted no time in getting his groove back after splitting from wife Jessica Simpson. First he was linked with "Laguna Beach's" Kristin Cavallari among others, and now he's been spotted with another one - TV host Vanessa Minnillo in New York City.

The scuttlebutt is that the new couple was seen in a curtained-off area at the W Union Square's Underbar.
