Nick Lachey to raise son in Ohio

Nick Lachey and his wife Vanessa plan to leave Los Angeles in the coming years to raise their baby son in the pop star's native Ohio.

Vanessa Minnillo gave birth to the couple's first child, Camden, in September (12), and the 98 Degrees star reveals they plan to put down roots in Cincinnati, where his brother Drew lives.

He tells ABC News, "I've never embraced the idea of raising my kid in L.A. I want to move back home in a few years when Camden starts school. Vanessa and I share a common understanding that family is the most important thing and we both appreciate the idea of raising our kids around their grandparents and cousins.

"I can't wait till (our kids) are running through the woods together like Drew and I used to. It's going to be a lot of fun to watch them grow up together!"

Nick Lachey also admits the couple wants to add to its family - when the time is right.

He says, "We've definitely talked about having more than one and having one has only strengthened that. But my brother and I are almost three years apart, so I thought that was a nice age difference. So maybe in a bit!"
