Talking Babies

Filed under: Baby Blabber > Nicole Richie > Joel Madden

aexcl_richie_madden_w_baby_.jpg

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are absolutely in luuurve with baby Harlow.

Nicole goes so far as to puree fresh green beans to feed her daughter and records every smile in a diary. And for that, Joel doesn't mind sometimes taking orders from Nicole.

In a new interview this week, Momma Richie reveals that plans her life around the baby, but says she's retained her sense of self.

And just how exactly is little Harlow doing?

Nicole gushes, "Harlow's a delicate soul. She studies people. She's very coy. People say that she and I make the same expressions. But everyone says she looks like Joel."

But Joel is quick to add, "I'm cool with it, as long as she doesn't look like me in a wig when she's 16."

Yes, that would be unfortunate.

In the middle of organizing a mid-October walk to end homelessness, the young family just moved into a new LA home, after spending the summer on the road with Good Charlotte.

Keeping things traditional, Nicole takes care of the baby while Joel takes care of the finances, and even has all of Harlow's education planned out.

So is the wedding planned out?

Nicole says it will happen when it happens, and everyone will know.

And more kids?

Joel says, "If it could be as easy as Harlow, sure."

Awww.

We think we're gonna barf!

    Yes, hopefully baby Harlow will not look like Potato Head Jr when she's 16.



  8. 8

    they sound down to earth……baby harlow sounds well taken care of. btw, it is not that difficult to puree fresh green beans.



  12. 12

    They are so cute.



  13. 13

    thats really precious.i love nicole i think she's a beautiful person.its darling the way she talks about harlow.awwww i feel all warm inside!



  14. 14

    she is such a beautiful baby, even if she does look exactly like joel right now. i think it's great that there is a young couple who care only about their daughter. i never thought i'd say this but britney can take a maternal lesson or two from nicole richie.



  15. 15

    Recording every smile? Thats so sweet I might barf as well >_



  16. 16

    I am happy for them. Nicole looks awesome..not ano anymore…

  17. DaLa says – reply to this


    17

    How nice that she has the time to do that, unlike the normal American woman who has to rush back to work right after childbirth.



  18. 18

    They seem like really great parents.



  19. 19

    i give them 3 years until one of them are back on drugs again



  20. 20

    WHAT ABOUT JOEL MADDEN WITH THE OLSEN TWIN AND PARTYING WITH COTTAGE CHEESE THIGHS MISHA BARTON?



  21. 21

    so very cute love them both and the babers too!!!Nice to see people happy in hollywood



  22. 22

    having babies are the best. i just had my first this year and im in total bliss.im glad to see they are good parents …unlike other..(jennifer lopez)..save the children…



  23. 23

    do you think they are all stressed out cause of the shitty economy?



  24. 24

    Re: DaLa – yeah cause her dad is lionel richie you dumbass. if all american women were that rich, most of them would stay with their kids too.



  25. 25

    They look cute together.
    Just don't get it why Paris is dating his brother, is it real love??



  26. 26

    Thats such a horrible name for that lil baby girl!!!!!



  27. 27

    i think they r cute
    although i liked hilary more.



  28. 28

    What are they doing that is so special? They just want constant media attention because they do not have talent, so what to do? Oh yeah drag the poor baby out everytime there is a pause in media exposure. Poor baby, has not right to privacy, they sold the baby pictures like a bunch of money grubbing pigs. They are celebrity wanna be but who protects Harlow's rights? And yeah, YOUR SUPPOSE TO CARE FOR YOUR BABY…SUPPOSED TO FEED YOUR BABY HEALTHY FOOD…but tell me Nicole do you plan on dressing her up in cheap clothes and paint her face with whore makeup…teach her dirty words???? Just like the unfortunate kids who were on your shitty show with that whore Paris??? Oh no? I bet not, your fake, spoiled and a rotten mother for taking advantage of being a parent so you can remain in the media. Joel is just an dork who does what ever anyone tells him.



  29. 29

    No wonder these "celebs" are so full of themselves, calling them and their children "princesses" Still trying to figure out why Nicole is even known besides the fact she is Lionel Ritchies daughter…..



  30. 30

    what do you mean 'goes so far as to puree fresh green beans to feed her daughter' like is a radical thing to do or something? not everyone feeds their babies artificial and preservative-filled crap, from companies who have had recalls due to razors found in said jars of dirt, just because its 'convenient'.



  31. 31

    Re: YODA SPEAKS – actually all the proceeds from the baby photos went to charity.



  32. 32

    I hear that Joel and Nicole's relationship is on really thin ice right now.

    If it weren't for the common bond of a baby,they probably would have broken up awhile ago…

    And it's nice that Nicole Richie makes her own baby food,but a lot of mothers out there can't afford to do so.



  33. 33

    AW!
    So Sweet!!!!
    i hope they stay together
    for a while!



  34. 34

    What is up with his nose in this picture anyway?



  35. 35

    She records every smile in a diary….just like she records every calory she eats so she can throw-up later and weigh it to make sure she never gets up to a size 2….because that would be disgusting wouldn't it Nichole?



  36. 36

    that's so adorable!



  37. 37

    He'll NEVER marry her!



  38. 38

    oh my god, SHE WENT SO OUT OF HER WAY TO PUREE FRESH GREEN BEANS!! whoa, she is so totally amazing!!! big fucking deal. my mom never fed me baby food from jars and ONLY pureed fresh fruits and vegetables for me - and we weren't even rich! but my mom didn't record every fucking smile in a diary - she couldn't afford to pay an assistant to do that shit for her like nicole.



  39. 39

    Re: Sistah Mary – true - but have you seen the baby clothes out in stores for common people too? EVERYTHING has 'princess' written on it. at least the celebrity culture can live like princesses - as opposed to a bunch of common people who just pretend and get us into credit crises - think how those kids are going to feel when they grow up and don't get to pretend to be 'princesses' anymore.



  40. 40

    Nicole has got her shit together and I love it! :D Love these two.



  41. 41

    wow I'm actually genuinely happy for them, and I hate most hollywood celebs. Nicole really has matured - I wish more celebs would grow up too.



  42. 42

    i luv nicole n joel they r sooo nice n soo cute 2gether n harlows the cutest baby girl ive ever seen



  43. 43

    So if I puree veggies for my son, that means I love him soooo much and I'm a great mom? My God, are we supposed to think stars are great parents because they do the things that parents are SUPPOSED to do? Wow - does she change diapers too???



  44. 44

    Awe! Count me out of the "barfing" thing.. Cause they are such a cute family!
    I love Nicole!! Especially in the simple life! I'm a fan of her for life!



  45. 45

    Studies people? I'd be making those expressions also if I pooped my pants.
