Nicole Richie and Joel Madden have reportedly got married.

According to website RadarOnline, the couple - who celebrated the birth of their second child, son Sparrow, last month - are rumored to have secretly tied the knot in an intimate service on Wednesday (14.10.09) after obtaining a marriage license last week.

Nicole Richie wants to marry Joel Madden.

The TV star - who has a 20-month-old daughter Harlow and newborn son Sparrow with the Good Charlotte rocker - has been deeply affected by the death of her ex-fiance DJ AM, real name Adam Goldstein, and is keen for her and Joel to commit to one another forever.

Nicole Richie's newborn son already has an American football helmet.

The star's father Lionel Richie is determined for Sparrow - who was born last Wednesday (09.09.09) - to play the sport, and claims it is never too early for a boy to start practising.

Nicole Richie is in hospital. The 27-year-old star, who is expecting her second child with partner Joel Madden, reportedly checked into a Los Angeles medical center at the end of last week.

X17 reports: "The day after DJ AM's memorial, rumors began to fly that Nicole Richie - Adam Goldstein's former fiancee - was admitted to a local Los Angeles hospital. Could she finally be ready to give birth???"

Joel Madden wants his own cooking show. The Good Charlotte rocker - who is expecting his second child with girlfriend Nicole Richie - thinks the average person could learn a lot from his "damn good" food preparation skills.

Writing on his Twitter account, the 30-year-old star said: "I should have a cooking show, or at least a cook book. I'm a damn good cook. I should have my own restaurant."
