Nick Lachey and his wife, Vanessa, host Netflix's "Love is Blind" together.
He says they follow a "golden rule" that keeps their marriage strong, even while working together.
"Try and keep it as separate as you can," Nick Lachey said.
Working with your spouse isn't easy, and that's why Nick Lachey and his wife, Vanessa, have a strict rule about mixing business and their personal lives.
During an appearance on Wednesday's episode of " Richer Lives by SoFi" podcast, Lachey spoke about what it's like to co-host " Love is Blind" with his wife.
"I think the best thing you can do is not bring your work home with you," Lachey told host Vivian Tu. "Which is tricky when you work with your spouse, you know, and I think we do a really good job of doing that for the most part."
The 98 Degrees boy band member says that he and his wife try to set clear boundaries: Whatever happens at work stays at work, and vice versa.
"Sometimes you show up for work and there's an argument at home that you brought with you to work, and you don't want that to bleed over," he said.
"I think it's kind of good to compartmentalize and recognize that, you know, you're here doing a job," he said.
The couple started dating in 2006 and got married in 2011. They share three children together.
They began hosting Netflix's " Love is Blind" in 2020, now in its eighth season. In 2022, they also started hosting another Netflix reality dating show together, " The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On."
"So, I think that's our golden rule. It's 'Don't bring work home. Don't bring home to work.' Try and keep it as separate as you can," Lachey said.
In a joint interview with Brides in February, the couple shared that they go to marriage therapy and set aside two days a week to prioritize their relationship.
"Anything that's worth having takes work," Lachey told Brides. "To me, that's a cornerstone of life, and marriage is no different. There's no shame in that."
Lachey isn't the only star sharing insights on what it takes to maintain a strong relationship with their spouses.
Jay Shetty and his wife run a business together, and like the Lacheys, they avoid talking about work over dinner.
Gordon Ramsay and his wife, Tana, make it a point to dress up and go on regular date nights.
On the other hand, there are celebrity couples who would rather not work with each other — like Usher and his music executive wife.
