Drew Lachey is adding interior design to his résumé with a role on Season 7 of Rock the Block. The 98 Degrees singer is teamed up with Taniya Nayak on the show, putting him back in the spotlight 20 years after his win on Dancing With the Stars.
In October 2000, Drew got married to Lea Lachey (née Dellecave) at the height of 98 Degrees’ fame. But now that it’s been more than 25 years, where do the childhood sweethearts stand?
With Drew back on our television screens, we did a deep dive into his relationship with Lea. Scroll down for everything to know.
Are Drew Lachey and his wife still together?
Yes, Drew and Lea are going strong and will celebrate 26 years of marriage in May. In 2025, Lea paid tribute to her husband on his birthday with a sweet Instagram message.
“Always making our world brighter and filling our days with laughter,” she wrote. “Happy Birthday to the love of my life! May this year ahead be even better than the last. Filled with magic, love and an abundance of happiness.”

The couple also works together on their non-profit organization, Lachey Arts, where they “train and share knowledge with the next generation of artists and create an environment where people can truly grow.”
How did Drew Lachey meet his wife?
Drew and Lea met in fifth grade. They both attended the School for the Creative and Performing Arts in Cincinnati, Ohio. Lea was already a student at the school for a year before Drew came in fifth grade.
“There was already this circle of people, this circle of friends, that already had a year under their belt together,” he once shared. “I roll in in the fifth grade, and I have to, you know, kind of find my way. But I remember, I mean, we grew up in classes together. We went out in sixth grade, we went out in seventh grade, and then junior year we got together.”
Lea worked as a choreographer for 98 Degrees after the group formed in the late 1990s.
Do Drew Lachey and his wife have kids?

After living in Los Angeles for several years, Drew and Lea moved back to Cincinnati in 2009 to raise their family.
