Like any other marriage, Drew and Lea’s also faced a lot of ups and downs. Many times, Drew was rumored to have an extra-marital affair with dancer Cheryl Burke. Cheryl was Drew’s dancing partner in the second season of Dancing with the Stars.
Not only that, Cheryl was said to have been caught cheating on her boyfriend with Drew. However, Drew and Lea never stopped trusting each other and have remained together throughout the controversy.
In recent days, Drew and Lea carry out summer programs through “Lachey Arts”. They share an interest in inspiring and preparing younger ones to perform on-stage. These involvements have strengthened their relation more than ever before.
Drew has fathered two amazingly cute children with Lea, 10-year-old Isabella Claire Lachey and six-year-old Hudson Nicholas Lachey. Drew seems to try his best to participate in his children’s activities.

Drew also opened Lachey’s bar in Cincinnati in 2015 with his brother, Nick. Both Drew and Nick have enough net worth to make and sustain their investments in the sports bar.

While the bar might not be making the expected money, names of these TV personalities at the bar door is certain to increase the popularity of the bar in the days to come. Drew even took bartending classes at the Cincinnati Bartending School! He is certainly very serious about the bar.
Adding to his successful career as a television personality, the bar is sure to increase Drew’s net worth. Drew Lachey and his wife will be celebrating their sixteenth wedding anniversary in 2016 and surely there are much more to come.
