VANESSA MINNILLO bid a fond adieu to life as a single woman by partying hard with a male stripper during her bachelorette event in Las Vegas.

Actually, no. Nick isn’t being pressured by his wife-to-be, but he’s feeling it anyway. In an interview with Parade magazine, Nick shared:

“I’d like to be a dad sooner than later… I’m getting up there. I’ve gotta catch up with my brother. [Drew's] got two and I’ve got zero, so the pressure is on me!”

A friend of Jessica tells Pop Eater, “Even though Jessica wants to be happy for Nick, this is a very difficult time for her,” “Nick was the love of her life then, man, and he was her first, so she will always have a very special place in her heart for him. She’s deeply saddened.”
