The TV personality, 51 - who currently co-hosts the matchmaking reality show with wife Vanessa - prompted some to question his 'different face' as the cast came together once again one year after the series completed filming.
A social media user jumped to TikTok to share a short snippet from the episode and added the caption, 'Is it just me?! what looks different here?'
Fans jumped to the comment section to offer their own thoughts on the clip - which has since raked in over 2 million views.
One penned, 'He looks like an entirely different person,' while another wrote, 'I don't know who that is, but that's not Nick Lachey..'
'It's giving Robbie Rotten from Lazy Town,' one TikTok user shared, and another added, 'Not the search bar being Nick Lachey new face and hair.'

One fan typed out, 'Nick Lachey looks like he's wearing a Nick Lachey mask,' and another penned, 'He looks like he aged 15 years overnight.'
'Did Zac Efron and Nick Lachey see the same Doctor,' one commented, while another shared, 'the Ronald Regan mask from point break.'
A Love Is Blind viewer also wrote, 'Yall seen Santa Clause 2 where they make the toy clone version of santa? it's giving that.'
'He should have gone to whoever Lindsay Lohan went to,' another penned, and one questioned, 'Is it me or is Nick Lachey's face different at this reunion?'
However, others came to his defense with a fan writing, 'dude. he's getting older. and? no different than any of these women in Hollywood getting plastic everything. leave him alone.'
Dr. Giselle Prado-Wright also weighed in on the speculation surrounding the star's appearance on the reunion episode.
The plastic surgery expert told RadarOnline, 'On the newest season of Love Is Blind, it looks like Nick Lachey may have had too much filler, giving him a puffy, rounded appearance.
'This type of overfilled look can sometimes happen when too much volume is added to the midface, which can blur natural contours and create an almost swollen effect.'

Prado-Wright further expressed to the outlet, 'It's a similar change to what we've seen in celebrities like Cameron Diaz in her newest Netflix movie.'
Lachey - who is the former member of boy band 98 Degrees - has co-hosted the hit Netflix reality since alongside his wife Vanessa since its premiere back in 2020.
Season eight began airing episodes this year in February just in time for Valentine's Day - with the finale being released earlier last week.
The latest season was based in Minneapolis - and both Nick and Vanessa opened up about the recent episodes during an interview with People.
'I think this season is different because it is the Midwest. I think, as we've said before, every season takes on the personality of the city that it's based in,' Lachey stated.
'Minneapolis being in the Midwest, I think there's a certain heartfelt [sensibility] to this season that maybe we haven't seen in others. There's a certain sensitivity to everybody in the pods this season.'
Vanessa added her opinion as well and told the outlet, 'With Minnesota, it's really interesting because they're all there wanting to find love, but they definitely have had a harder time relating to issues.

'So, you see a lot more pod time on season 8, pod episodes, because there's a lot of differences people need to work out.'
Vanessa - who tied the knot with Nick back in 2011 - continued, 'Whether they're fundamental issues and beliefs, or just getting along, or confused about this one or that one person-wise, it's a different season for that aspect.
'There's a lot [of] other elements that never were factors in previous seasons, whether it be families or social media, that we're excited for people, for the fans, to see and to see how they relate to that.'
The lovebirds later shared how being on the show for five years now has helped their own marriage with Nick stating, 'I think it's great therapy almost for us.

Back in 2023, a petition was created to remove Nick and Vanessa as Love Is Blind hosts and got 18,000 signatures following a 'biased' reunion at the time; seen in 2024 in Beverly Hills
'We said this before that watching these couples and specifically in pods watching the way they connect, it's a great reminder to never lose that communication in your own relationship.
He added, 'Never lose sight of what set it all off, the connection you felt, the emotions you felt in the beginning.'
