Yes, Phoenix Robert Lachey was born prematurely. Vanessa and Nick have told the story behind Phoenix's birth a few times already now. And, she once again wrote about the story on her social media last Christmas. 

In her post, Vanessa wrote that when she was pregnant with Phoenix, her water broke 11 weeks early. Because of the water breaking that early, they were panicked; however, they tried all things that could keep him healthy and in her womb for a few more weeks.

When Vanessa went to the restroom and stood up, she realized that her umbilical cord was already coming out. And so, she was immediately taken for an emergency delivery. Fortunately, the delivery was a success. And now, we have our cute little star, Phoenix. 

Vanessa also says that she tells that story to Phoenix. And whenever she does, Phoenix tells her that he came early because he didn't want to miss Christmas. And to celebrate his birthday, they always have a gingerbread house.  

Every year, we do all the things and it warms my heart(his too!) One of our favorite family traditions is a gingerbread house we have every year. The night of his birthday he’s allowed to eat it! (Here he’s deciding where he will start!) Haha! Fun memories.
Happiest Birthday to my Phoenix! The missing piece to our family puzzle we never knew we needed!

Phoenix's Parents Became Collaborators To Lovers

Phoenix Robert Lachey's parents, Nick Lachey and Vanessa Lachey (née Minnillo) met in 2003 on the set of MTV's "Total Request Live" (TRL). At the time, Nick was hosting the show, while Vanessa was a correspondent. They first met when Vanessa interviewed Nick, and they hit it off immediately. However, while Vanessa was in a relationship, at the time, Nick was still together with his ex-wife, Jessica Simpson. And so, the couple didn't pursue anything further.

Then, Nick and Vanessa didn't see each other again until 2006 when they both happened to be in the Bahamas for New Year's Eve. They ran into each other at a party, and this time they were both single. They started talking and hit it off once again. Nick invited Vanessa to the premiere of his movie, "The Hard Easy," and they went on their first official date soon after.

Nick proposed to Vanessa on a beach at sunset, with a custom-designed engagement ring. They announced their engagement on "Live! With Regis and Kelly" and Vanessa showed off her ring to the audience.
