Nick Lachey will absolutely not be raising his seven-month-old son Camden in Los Angeles.

The 98 Degrees singer told ABC News that he and wife Vanessa will soon relocate permanently to his hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio.

"I've never embraced the idea of raising my kid in L.A.," the 39-year-old said.

"I want to move back home in a few years when Camden starts school. Vanessa and I share a common understanding that family is the most important thing, and we both appreciate the idea of raising our kids around their grandparents and cousins."

That's right…kids, plural!

So, while the boy bander is planning his son's future, he's also planning on having more children with his wife of almost three years.

Lachey is currently promoting his latest album, A Father's Lullaby, which is dedicated to his son.

So what's music to the proud new father's ears?

"A kid laughing is really the most magical sound I think I've ever heard. He's into the belly-laughing thing now, so it's all about tickling him." Lachey revealed on Live! With Kelly & Michael.
