Sure to stir up all kinds of split rumors, Vanessa Minnillo was spotted holding hands with one of the men on the production team of her current project on Friday (October 3).

Taking a break from shooting in West Hollywood, the former Miss Teen USA and aspiring actress was reportedly very friendly when she saw photographers snapping up shots - without any qualms with them noticing as she held the arm of the hunky on-set staff member.

The affectionate display comes as she spends time apart from boyfriend Nick Lachey, who she has been dating ever since the two met for a video shoot for Lachey's music video, What's Left of Me.

Nonetheless, at this point there hasn't been any indication of troubled waters between Vanessa and Nick, as Miss Minnillo recently revealed that she's even thinking about starting a family, telling press, "My goal is to be acting and winning an Oscar. I want to be an actress with an Oscar and babies."
