Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are the proud parents of a new baby boy! Sparrow James Midnight Madden arrived in the very early hours of September 9, 2009 and weighed 7lbs 14oz. Nicole, Joel, Harlow and Sparrow are all doing well. “Thank you for all of your good wishes,” the couple wrote on Richie’s web site. The newborn joins older sister Harlow Winter Kate Madden, born in January 2008.
“We’re very, very blessed,” Madden, 30, told PEOPLE on Aug. 6 of the approaching event. “We’ve already had one healthy kid, and that’s all you can ask for as a parent — healthy kids.”
Richie, 27, has been enjoying a new low-key lifestyle at home since the birth of Harlow, but keeps active with various business projects, including a maternity line for A Pea in the Pod and her House of Harlow 1960 jewelry line. Joel Madden is the front man for the band Good Charlotte.
Congratulations from le•top to Nicole and Joel on their new baby!
It was the year 1999. I had just gotten a raise at my (then) job and things were looking up. I always wanted a convertible, and I had the opportunity to get one. So I decided to splurge and bought one. It was a Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder. Her name was “Betsy” (as in Itsy, Bitsy Spider… I don’t know why, but I have an obsession with naming my cars.). My family and friends—and even my husband—thought I’d regret it, saying that I would never have the top down because we don’t get too many warm, sunny days (Hello, we live in California!), and that my hair would get messy. Guess what? They were wrong! I loved driving Betsy. I felt free and alive! I loved to feel the wind whipping through my hair and hearing the whirring sound of the cars that passed me (or those I zoomed by. Hee-hee!). I especially loved warm, summer nights when I could cruise around town with the top down. Betsy and I, owning the road. Ahhh…. freedom!
