Nick and Vanessa Lachey Leaving Hawaii, Moving Back to the Mainland After Cancellation of NCIS: Hawaiʻi

Vanessa Lachey and Nick Lachey are saying goodbye (for now) to their home of the past three years.

After the cancellation of NCIS: Hawai’i, on which Vanessa has played Jane Tennant since 2021, the 43-year-old actress bid farewell to the Aloha State in a message on Instagram, accompanied by a carousel of colorful photos.

She began the post, “A Hui Hou” ❤️,” which means “until we meet again.”

“Home is where the heart is…,” she continued. “Hawai’i, you will always have my heart! Mahalo Nui Loa [Thank you very much] for 3 beautiful, magical years you gave me and my family!”

Vanessa and Nick, 50, who have been married since 2011, have three kids together: Camden John, 11, Brooklyn Elisabeth, 9, and Phoenix Robert, 7.

"Now, on to the next adventure. Off into the sunset we go!” she ended the post, including the hashtags #LacheyPartyOf5 and #AlohaSpirit.

Many of the comments on the post expressed support for the family and disappointment over the show’s cancellation.

“Awww, I'm so sorry. I agree, home is where your family is. But I really wished NCIS Hawai'i didn't get cancelled. We really enjoyed it. Wishing you the best on your next adventure,” one Instagram user wrote.

“God bless you and your family. We will never forget Jane Tennant!!” read another comment.

Vanessa, whose character on the CBS procedural drama was head of a fictionalized version of the Naval Criminal Investigation Service at the Pearl Harbor Field Office, frequently posted photos of her life in Hawai'i with the former 98 Degrees singer and their children.

In February, she shared a shot of her and her kids enjoying a scenic sunset.

"I still can't believe we get to live here. Thank You, Hawai'i for Loving us back! ❤️🌺🌴," she captioned the post.

After CBS canceled the show in April, Vanessa wrote on Instagram that she was “gutted” and “processing” the news.

The actress, who made history as the franchise's first female lead, paid tribute to the series after its finale aired on May 6.

"This show meant so much to me… and more every day I find, to lots of people. As an AAPI Woman, Wife, Mother, Colleague & Friend, I am more proud than ever to have been your Jane Tennant on TV," she wrote on Instagram.

"This journey has taught me to continue to push the envelope and break glass ceilings,” she added. “I encourage you ALL to as well! Anything we dream is ours for the taking, no matter what the circumstance! A Hui Hou. ❤️🤙🏽.
