Nick Lachey recalls 98 Degrees tour bus having a book listing age of consent in every US state

"This is going to sound super shady, but when we first went out - I remember in our first tour - someone at the label gave us a book," the 98 Degrees singer recalled in Investigation Discovery's upcoming documentary, "Boy Band Confidential." "It was the age of consent in every state in the country."

"We kept that book on the tour bus. Unfortunately, there were people out there looking to tear you down."

In 2024, during an episode of Netflix's "The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On," Lachey opened up to the contestants about his past and how prior relationships impacted his life.

"I just want to encourage you all, don't let your past define your future," he continued. "What I truly always wanted in my life was to have a beautiful marriage and a beautiful family. If I hadn't retained my belief in that, I wouldn't have ever realized the beautiful life that I have with this woman. And we sit up here, we don't have it figured out."
