Vanessa Lachey on the skin condition that's impacted her confidence, and how both self-care and a healthy relationship take strength and commitment.

Lachey adds that personally, she has given an ultimatum—and that personal experience is exactly why she and Nick were excited to host the show. “Just as much as we like to communicate our issues, we also love to hear and communicate how things are going well.” “It goes back to communication,” she says. Lachey says both shows she and Nick host are great opportunities for couples to practice and build those skills. “I can’t take anything that would make me drowsy while I’m on set, because I want to be firing on all cylinders, operating at 100%.” Love Is Blind and The Ultimatum aren’t just jobs for her; they’re a chance to share relationship wisdom.
