'Newlyweds' hunk Nick Lachey has been caught dirty dancing with sexy US TV host Vanessa Minnillo.

The 25-year-old is the second stunner the singer-turned-reality-TV-star has been linked with in as many weeks.

A drinker at New York's trendy Underbar on Monday night (27.03.06) revealed: "I saw tongues on skin."

A friend of Lachey - who is currently divorcing wife Jessica Simpson - said: "Nick's a single guy..."

The following night (28.03.06), the 32-year-old hunk and Minnillo were spotted out on the town again - this time dining with friends at Fiamma in SoHo before heading off to the ultra-cool Hotel 60.

Since splitting with his wife, Lachey has admitted he wants to settle down and have children - especially after his brother, Drew, became a dad.

He revealed: "I can't wait until the day I have kids. Obviously, it's not the right time for me to be a father, but the one thing I haven't had the chance to do is be a great dad.

"Playing with my friends' kids and having them call me Uncle Nick - that's life."

Meanwhile, Simpson is reportedly romancing Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine.

An onlooker who spotted the pair cavorting at California nightspot Avalon recently said: "It was like they were the only two people there. She was smiling the whole night."
