Rumor has it that Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo will become parents this year!

They don’t have a wedding date quite yet, but the newly-engaged couple might have a bun in the over. Minnillo told PEOPLE recently:

“Things happen,”

“And if a blessing comes before the wedding then that’s exactly what it is, [a blessing].”

Hmm..suspicious! If she is pregnant, we may not know it until she starts to show. Vanessa says she will continue to work if and when she does get pregnant.

“I would love to have children and work,”

“I definitely don’t want it to slow me down. I’m always going to be, ‘Go, go, go.’ And I’m going to be pregnant, fat and happy through it all.”

Only time will tell! What do you think — are Vanessa and Nick expecting?
