Vanessa Lachey and Nick Lachey’s son is positive about their family’s big move.
Earlier this week, Vanessa, 43, announced on Instagram that she and her family of five were saying goodbye to the Aloha State after three years of living there. The move comes after the cancellation NCIS: Hawaiiin which Vanessa plays Jane Tennant from 2021.
After their date, the mom-of-three snapped a photo of a pink plumeria flower left alone on the ground — and her son’s cute reaction to the pic earned its own Instagram Stories post.
“I showed this picture to my son, he said ‘Wow mom, that says so much without showing much,'” she captioned the photo. “I said, ‘What do you see?’ He said, ‘We are moving, but we are not sad. I see that happiness and Aloha are coming with us.'”
“(😩 Forever with us!!!),” added the proud mom.

All about the three children of Nick and Vanessa Lachey
Vanessa and Nick (50) are parents to daughter Brooklyn (9) and sons Camden (11) and Phoenix (7). It’s not clear which son shared those words of wisdom, but it’s safe to say that the entire family was filled with emotion as they returned to land.
In an Instagram post on Tuesday, August 13, Vanessa shared several pictures of the family dressed in leis and colorful outfits. She began the post, “A Hui Hou” ❤️,” which means “see you again.”
“Home is where the heart is…” she continued. “Hawaii, you will always have my heart! Mahalo Nui Loa [Thank you very much] for the 3 wonderful, magical years you gave me and my family!”
“Now, on to the next adventure. Off we go into the sunset!” she ended the post, including the hashtags #LacheyPartyOf5 and #AlohaSpirit.
