Nicole Richie and Joel Madden in NYC
Nicole Richie, 25, and Joel Madden, 28, were spotted in Soho after having lunch at The Kitchen at the Mercer Hotel earlier today. (Reality TV fans may recognize the girls behind them as well!)
Nicole and Joel expect their first child in January, they are going to ‘try’ not to find out the sex.

How happy do THEY look? She is definently going to have one of those ‘all belly’ pregnancies. Do I see some Hills girls back there?…

Aww Nicole looks so happy. I’m glad she’s doing good. Ooohh that’s Lauren from “The Hills” Behind them in the first pic. How neat!

Were they with Lauren Conrad and her friend? Or did they just happen to be at the same place at the same time? I just thought this pic was funny because of her being in the background! Plus, Nicole looks great with the little bit of extra weight!

Nicole looks healthy and cute. and joel seems like he is going to be a great dad
and i see Lauren and Whitney from the Hills in the background.
LOVE that show
August 12th, 2007 at 8:52 pm
Its LC and Whitney from The Hills right behind them! Nicole looks great like always.
August 12th, 2007 at 8:53 pm
she looks adorable!
Is that Lauren and Whitney from the Hills behind them?
August 12th, 2007 at 8:54 pm
Wow, she looks a lot healthier than she looked before she was pregnant.
Can’t wait to see that baby and know what they name it.
Think she’ll be a good mother!
Go Nicole!!
August 12th, 2007 at 8:56 pm
I know it has nothing to do with them.. But all I saw was Lauren (L.C) and Hidie behind them.. From The Hills. But Nicole looks very very cute!
August 12th, 2007 at 9:29 pm
Were they with Lauren and Whitney, or did they just happen to be walkting down the same street? AHHHH HILLS TOMORROW!!!!!
August 12th, 2007 at 9:45 pm
Awwwww!!! They look SERIOUSLY happy! I think Joel is going to be a doting daddy, he’s always so happy and protective of Nicole and the little one. She looks awesome by the way, glad to see her willingly gaining the weight for the baby’s sakes and putting whatever issues she had before aside. She’s already making the sacrifices necessary for the baby so I’d say she’s well on her way to great parenthood. Can’t wait to meet the little doll.

August 12th, 2007 at 11:00 pm

a baby always makes things seem so wonderful I am extremely happy for them I know they are not married and they did it backwards she is happy and that’s what I like ans since her and Paris do everything together do you think she will get pregnant too?
August 13th, 2007 at 12:38 am

August 13th, 2007 at 1:21 am

August 13th, 2007 at 1:55 am

August 13th, 2007 at 2:34 am

August 13th, 2007 at 8:58 am
She is so stinking cute I can’t stand it. I’ve also grown to become quite keen on Joel now too, he just looks like a sweetheart.
August 13th, 2007 at 9:11 am
They look so cute together.
I wonder if the baby will get any of nicole black features. I was looking at her baby pictures and its amazing what straightening your hair and dyeing it blond can do to a girl
August 13th, 2007 at 10:37 am
Yeah great to see Nicole with some weight on..she looks human again. But let shed some a lil spotlight on my girl LC from the Hills. AM i the only one that is CRAZY Ecstatic about the premier tonight??!?!? I am having a party for it..ooh can’t wait…LET THE DRAMA BEGIN BOYS AND GIRLS!!
August 13th, 2007 at 11:39 am
LOL that is funny to see Lauren and Whitney in the background (another closet Hills fan). I’m glad to see that Joel is a positive influence on Nicole as well as standing by her through thick and thin. Granted she’s having his child, it’s great to see a man such as Joel being seen in such a positive light amoung all the stuff that is or was going on with young Hollywood celebs. Nicole looks happy and healthy. Joel was the best thing that has happened to her. What a great guy!

I think her sun glasses are pretty cool! Does anyone have any information about them?
Iwant to try and find them.
Thanks, Anne
Sarah’s note: They are Chanel, but that’s all I know.

Ha ha! Chimene..I wish I lived near you and knew you! I LOVE The Hill’s. I have no one to watch it with though because everyone thinks I am insane for watching a teenager show! I LOVE it that you guys love it too! Yay!
August 13th, 2007 at 8:10 pm
Pregnancy agrees with Nicole! She looks so good!
August 13th, 2007 at 9:20 pm
black features?????? nicole’s adopted, I believe, so if she wasn’t born with it, I doubt it..
Sarah’s note: Nicole actually multiracial — 1/2 white, 1/4 black, and 1/4 hispanic.
August 14th, 2007 at 11:07 am
Thanks Sarah for the info on the sunglasses.
LOL I guess I should have clicked on the picture to see the Chanel logo up close!
Thanks, Anne
