Nicole Richie Confirms Pregnancy

As if we needed to ask! She’s all but completely disappeared from the party scene, and no one has spotted her in the public eye lately. And finally Nicole Richie came clean about her bun in the oven.

Diane Sawyer was interviewing Nicole when the question came up. The Simple Life star said simply, "Yes I am... I'm almost four months." Thus, the rumors have finally been proven true.

Joel Madden, of Good Charlotte, is the father of the child (although there have been reports that he demanded a paternity test during a recent quarrel), and he’s pretty happy about the whole thing.

His brother told press, "Joel is really happy with Nicole. They love playing with their dogs; they love hanging out at the house together. Nicole is awesome."

Their time to just hang out may be coming to a close, though. Joel, his brother, and the rest of the Good Charlotte crew are scheduled to begin touring with Justin Timberlake starting next week. Check their site for the shows near you. After all, now you can say you’ve seen Nicole Richie’s baby daddy!
