Nicole Richie & Joel Madden Introduce Sparrow!
October 22nd, 2009
Six weeks after welcoming their first son, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are showing off the latest addition to their family, Sparrow James Midnight Madden! Sparrow joins 21-month-old big sister Harlow.
“I couldn’t be happier,” Nicole told People magazine. “The only thing you want is for your kids to be healthy and happy, and they are. I’m right where I belong.”
In an interview at their home in Laurel Canyon in Los Angeles, Nicole, 28, and boyfriend Joel, 30, said they are deprived of sleep, but grateful their daughter Harlow is now fawning over a baby brother.
“I’m glad I had a girl before I had a boy,” said Nicole. “She just loves him so much.” Added Joel, “She’s very gentle with him.”
For much more on Nicole and Joel’s expanding family — including the decision to name their baby boy Sparrow, how Richie’s second pregnancy was different from her first, and how she’s losing her baby weight — pick up the latest issue of People magazine, on newsstands Friday.

I think it’s early to say he’s cute or not! but in my idea, he’ll be a cutie like Harlow…

Not sure what everyone is talking about. I think little Sparrow is adorable. He looks just like Joel. I saw the family pic on another site yesterday. So cute. Harlow looks exactly like Nicole did at that age. Cute family. Glad Nicole has found happiness and stability in her family.

The family pic is sooo beautiful. They’re such a cute family. In my opinion Sparrow is a mini-Joel. Sweet little Harlow can not be topped ;-)

13. boo | October 22nd, 2009 at 5:44 pm
I think he is adorable!!! Wonder if they’ll have anymore kids or if their finished at 2?
14. warm | October 22nd, 2009 at 6:31 pm
Maybe the should think about getting married before they have more illegitimate kids.
15. Beth | October 22nd, 2009 at 7:45 pm
He’s a cute little baby and I wish them much happiness.
I hope they do get married soon.

I THINK HARLOW IS MORE CUTE AND AWEET SINCE SHE IS GROWING UP
17. Niloofar | October 23rd, 2009 at 4:30 am
I’m doing great, everything’s ok…And hey, I try to support Man utd these days too…haha
Have a good cold day! :)
18. jk | October 23rd, 2009 at 7:34 am
Warm – maybe you should think about minding your own business. Marriage is their decision not yours.
19. Jess | October 23rd, 2009 at 8:41 am
hey Niloofar how are you? school is going good thanks!
i havent been on here in a while been really busy. :)
20. boo | October 23rd, 2009 at 10:07 am
Why on Earth should they get married before having anymore children?? They already have 2 children together, and as it would appear seem to be doing great and still as much in Love today as they were a few years ago!! I don’t think a piece of paper signifying them as Husband and Wife is going to change that!! If they want more children and Never get married… more power to them!!
21. Niloofar | October 23rd, 2009 at 10:26 am
Glad you’re doing well at school, Jess :) just take care of yourself in this cold weather!
Jk – Wow so defensive! I think Warm is right, they should focus on getting married instead of producing illegitimate kids.
22. Lisa | October 23rd, 2009 at 10:34 am
Abit old fashioned are we? who the hell cares if they get married?
23. Baby Girl | October 23rd, 2009 at 12:02 pm
“Having a baby is Gods opinion that life should go on!” I’ve always loved that qoute!
24. KMS | October 23rd, 2009 at 12:31 pm
Adorable kids! Love the pics!
25. Dnice | October 23rd, 2009 at 1:31 pm
Strolling down the ailse is not every woman’s ultimate fantasy. I personally have no desire to marry or give a flip about buying a dressor the whole hoopla. I love my boyfriend and we’re perfectly content with how our lives are. It just seems like marriage changes couples for the worse. Not to mention that over 60% of marriages these days end in divorce. They obviously love each other and the kids seem happy and healthy. That’s all that really matters. If they feel the need to get married I’m sure they will.
26. Dreamer | October 23rd, 2009 at 3:58 pm
I personally don’t give a rat’s azz about getting married, I’m happy with my boyfriends P.enis I get every night, thats enough for me.
27. Neveah | October 23rd, 2009 at 9:29 pm
right dreamer this is apublic site that kids come onto that is very inappropriate languge. and it was so not necessary. Not to mention the fact that u sound like a child talking about getting something everynight .SHAME ON U
