admin | February 24, 2009
Socialite Nicole Richie is pregnant with her second child, Nicole is best known for her appearance as a reality TV star on the show ‘The Simple Life’ and her boyfriend Joel Madden announced the couple are expecting a sibling for their 13-month-old daughter Harlow Winter.
Nicole who is also the daughter of singer Lionel Richie, is due to give birth in August. Joel wrote on his band Good Charlotte’s website saying: ‘What’s better than winning an Oscar? I am so happy to tell everyone that Harlow is going to be a big sister.’
‘God has truly blessed my family. Hope you’re all feeling as good as I am right now.’
Former Hollywood wildchild Nicole has credited motherhood with helping her to settle down, she had a well-publicised battle with drug addiction in her teens and going to rehab at 21, Nicole ended up serving 82 minutes in a Los Angeles jail in August 2007 after pleading guilty to driving under the influence of marijuana and Vicodin.
Nicole spoke about her relationship with Joel last year saying: ‘It’s weird – even though we had only been together a few months, we had lightly talked about having a family. I think we always knew. It’s almost like I don’t even remember what life was like before her. She gives life a whole new meaning and a whole new purpose.’
Joel, 29, and Nicole, 27, have been dating since November 2006, shortly after he ended his long-term relationship with singer/actress Hilary Duff.
Nicole gave birth to Harlow in January last year after her ‘surprise’ pregnancy. Nicole and Joel introduced Paris Hilton who is Nicole’s best friend to Joel’s twin brother Benji and the pair had a short but sweet relationship last year which only lasted a couple of months.
