He's a cutie!

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden nabbed the cover of People magazine showing off their newest addition to their family, Sparrow James Midnight. Richie says of her family:

"I couldn't be happier. The only thing you want is for your kids to be healthy and happy, and they are. I'm right where I belong."

Apparently Harlow is already enjoying her new role as big sister and taking good care of her baby brother. Joel says that "she's very gentle with him."

What an adorable family! We love Harlow's huge smile!

    cant tell yet who the baby looks like but harlow is nicole 100%



  2. 2

    so cute!! :)



  3. 3

    What a great family portrait. Motherhood has done wonders for Nicole Richie.



  4. 4

    What a beautiful family! I wish them all the best. Not really loving the kids names,but that's up to the parents,I guess.



  5. 5

    She's come a long way. And even though I don't believe she deserves to be in the spotlight because she hasn't done anything talented ever and what she did do on tv was almost 10 years ago I do wish her the best with her family.
    Her son is ugly though…looks just like his dad.



  6. 6

    Tell me ONE good reason why this chick deserves to be on the COVER of People Magazine. Oh, that's right, there isn't one!!!!!!!!!



  7. 7

    They look very happy, cute family photo. I like to see celebs who aren't snobs about showing off their kids. Takes away the paparazzi's need to be in their faces to get the first shots.



  8. 8

    Cute kid but why should I care about Nicole…she does nothing.

    Cute li'l guy.



  11. 11

    the secret lives of alcoholic moms!? that's where it's at!!! boozin & breastfeedin!



  12. 12

    what a perfect family



  13. 13

    normal people pay to get announcements made and pay for them to send them out. Hollywood d list get paid to appear on the cover of a magazine. And magazines wonder why they are going broke? add this to the list. most people are tired of seeing babies, they do not care. and for this 'family', why don't they show total commitment and get married? It's not like it is against the law for them, and it would show their kids what commitment means. Unless, they are on their way out. ( I am sure some people buying People are going, 'who is she?' been a while and she was only on a trash cable channel for doing nothing. and her father hasn't had a decent hit in what? like 30 years?



  14. 14

    Kid looks like a fucking bird too.



  15. 15

    Such a lovely family, Nicole glows.



  16. 16

    Cute Baby!
    Cute Family!



  17. 17

    Harlow is so cute! She is too adorable… cute family!



  18. 18

    harlow is a dollface.



  19. 19

    Gorgeous. Ya know, Nicole reminds me so much of Natascha McElhone from Californication.



  20. 20

    Nicole looks like a bird. She's so NOT pretty. Honestly, people who are part African American should not have bleached hair… looks greasy. Ewww. Harlow is cute… and it's a cute name. But sparrow… for a fucking boy? Hopefully he'll be the drug dealer that no one messes with. Everyone is shouting from the rooftops what an amazing mom she is. Um, Helloooooo isn't she just doing what she's supposed to be doing? We're all fucking amazing then.



  21. 21

    harlow is a mini nicole! how cute!



  22. 22

    Nicole looks dreadful in these pics. What happened to her?



  23. 23

    who cares about her, a sidekick to some other forgettable tramp and who cares about him, has-been famous for 5 seconds with terribly embarrassing wannabe goth shlock band? What next? Some news about Travis Barker? LOL



  24. 24

    Nichole came a long way and motherhood had really helped her stay on the right track.



  25. 25

    SPARROW?!?!?
    as in House?
    Song?
    White Throated?
    Chipping…or Captain Jack? WTF?!?



  26. 26

    Aww very cute:)



  27. 27

    Oh please nore of these ugly kids



  28. 28

    Nicole Ritchie and Joel Madden used to get on my nerves, but together they make a beautiful family. They appear happy so I hope they can make it work for the long haul.



  29. 29

    ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh love the pic of them all together, look at little Harlow, Nicoles looking great, nothing but love for these x



  30. 30

    so PRECIOUS! sparrow looks like daddy. harlow like mommy. celebrate mommies!!!… and a celebrity couple that is doing something positive for a change. i prefer to see a glowing mommy rather than a haggard, in need of intervention lohan…

  31. Twime says – reply to this


    31

    They look very happy. Sparrow is so adorable and Harlow looks exactly like Nicole. So cute.



  32. 32

    that's a horrible name for a boy…he's gonna get beat up in school



  33. 33

    I find it ironic that the article title "The Secret Life of Alcoholic Moms" is on the cover that features Nicole Richie being a mom..



  34. 34

    Nicole looks terrible and her kids are strange looking lol



  35. 35

    I thought she was going to name the new one after Michael Jackson, since she has such precious childhood memories of him, after all. bla. who cares-either way he'll get beaten up in school



  36. 36

    I feel their family is very special! The children have unique names which I think is awesome because thats something that makes people stand out! I am glad they are on the cover because this picture represents happiness and in this day and age, we need to see all the happiness we can!! I don't care what either adult did in their past because the fact that they are together as a family means they are on the right path~ Good luck in the future*



  37. 37

    hmm…yep…those kids are ugly…



  38. 38

    I just love her as a momma. Nicole, you are beautiful!



  39. 39

    I just can't understand what's the interest with Nicole R…? She's NEVER actually DONE anything. "Celebrities" like her drive me crazy. Adorable kids though.



  40. 40

    Someone remind me again why this girl is important to anyone?
    She's not an actress, she's not a musician, she's not a model. She's just the former BFF of a spoiled heiress and the adopted daughter of a has-been R&B artist.
    And Good Charlotte is so late year.
    So what, she's a parent. Big whoop! Not worth the ink they used to publish the magazine.



  41. 41

    -
    gross - what a fug mob of idiots - not a full set of chromosomes in the bunch
    -



  42. 42

    They have such a beautiful family :)



  43. 43

    LOOK AT THOSE EARS!!! HES SO CUTE! He looks just like Joel! :D :)



  44. 44

    ~~~~ SPARROW LOOKS JUST LIKE JOEL! AND HARLOW JUST LIKE NICOLE!!!! HOW ADORABLE :) ~~~~



  45. 45

    fake, ugly, not reformed, not rehabbed, show a movie on her forehead, pierce her own lip with her teeth, poor babies…



  46. 46

    HAHAHAH I JUST SAW THAT!
    . . .
    the secret lives of alcoholic moms!

    Re: Dee uk – Hey twat, change your avatar.



  48. 48

    Re: Dee uk – nevermind; I'll change mine to one that is NOT on the free page of digitalblasphemy



  49. 49

    Both puddins are tooo adorable…Nicole is lovely but I think the babes favor their dad.

    The new big sister looks So happy!

    Congrats!

    no swearing in front of tiny ones…K?



  50. 50

    ok, I'm on Perez, I don't have to be politically correct. I only hope those kids start to look cuter once they grow. They may be precious new lives in the world, but they started out at a big disadvantage with Mom and Dad's original faces! Oh well, their mom has some Godawful hold on the gossip mag trade, so they'll be in our faces for the next 25 years regardless. She must give good parties or something.



  51. 51

    What a lovely family. Long may their happiness last



  52. 52

    They are sosoosososo cute. But Nic needs to fix tip of nose. It's too witchy!



  53. 53

    Beautiful family!



  54. 54

    That's so cute. Harlow looks just like Nicole, while Sparrow looks just like Joel.



  55. 55

    I LOVE HER. this is a beautiful family and i think its wonderful that she seems to have taken complete control of her life. they look so happy!



  56. 56

    cute boy. but my son is cuter!



  57. 57

    It's so nice to see how much Nicole has grown and matured in the last few years. As a mother myself, I can say now that I respect her.



  58. 58

    cutest family ever



  59. 59

    Re: MileyCyrusLooksLikeAChipmunk – roflmao are you THAT stupid? shes not half black! lionel isnt her biological father, hun. shes adopted.
    i swear, some people should need to pass a certain IQ to be allowed to post something somewhere.



  60. 60

    why is this person famous?



  61. 61

    to all the haters out there: if you would stand in front of nicole you ALL would sooo lick her ass and act like retarded loosers. but it is easy to hide behind a anonymus screen isn't it?
    nicole is a very funny person to be with. and a very loving mom.



  62. 62

    i am so happy for her she has really changed her life around
    this makes me smile
    i love how harlow looks like nicole and sparrow looks like joel =)
    very happy for them.



  63. 63

    Omg these are soo damn cute!!!



  64. 64

    Re: MileyCyrusLooksLikeAChipmunk – I agree! They get this title of supermum but, they aren't doing anything special that we don't do! I bet they don't half the things a actual mother does.. Love see her clean the bathrooms! What a fucken joke!



  65. 65

    So cute, Nicole looks great and healthy and happy! Babies are adorable but Harlow is trhe cutest thing i've ever seen! Looks just like Nic



  66. 66

    I hope they call this bundle of joy James and not Sparrow. Kids will be asking him why his parents named him after a little bird. Hollywood and their baby names, poor children. If they wanted that Sparrow name why didn't they call him James Sparrow instead of Sparrow James.
    Pitiful!



  67. 67

  76. 76

    Not a good looking family, at all.



  77. 77

    Such cute kids! Cute family. I love Nicole.



  78. 78

    Kids are cute, Sparrow looks like Joel, Harlow like Nicole. The only problem I have is that Joel and Nicole always look like greasy hippies!!! Joel NEEDS to shave and Nicole needs a more suitable hair color. Bleachy blonde aint cutting it, sister girl.

    Welcome to today's America, where having zero talent and accomplishing nothing other than being born to a famous person earns you hundreds of thousands of dollars and slack-jawed public adulation. Mark my words: 20 years from now, no one will remember who these people are, and for good reason.



  80. 80

    So cute - Harlow looks just like her! :)



  81. 81

    Looks like Joel got a look in this time with Sparrow! Harlow is the spitting image of Nicole!!



  82. 82

    What a beautiful family……………..don't know Nicole persoanlly of course but I am VERY proud of her and her babies are gorgeous!



  83. 83

    I love that crazy grin on Harlow's face. I've seen it on so many adorable kids and they always end up looking psychotic. She and Sparrow are two little dolls.



  84. 84

    their daughter is so cute!



  85. 85

    Aw, so cute.



  86. 86

    omfg soo cute!

  87. 87

    The girl came out looking like Nicole. How unfortunate.



  88. 88
