Nick Lachey buys new home in Ohio.

US pop star Nick Lachey is looking to move on from his broken marriage to Jessica Simpson by buying up property in his native Ohio.

The former 98 Degrees singer bought a $300,000 Cincinnati house with his father, John, just before Christmas, according to American magazine In Touch.

Father and son plan to spend time renovating the home.

The new place couldn't come at a better time for Lachey - the Calabasas, California, home he has been living in since Simpson announced split plans, was sold earlier this week to Malcolm in the Middle star Justin Berfield. . . . . .Source
