New to the Nest: Meet Nicole Richie's Baby Sparrow

Copyright 2009 / People Magazine
Baby Sparrow James Midnight Madden posed for his first People magazine cover with mom Nicole Richie, and his adorning, sleep deprived parents talk about raising their two young children.

"I'm glad I had a girl before I had a boy," Richie tells People magazine of Sparrow's older sister Harlow. "She just loves him so much."

Richie's musician boyfriend and father of Sparrow and Harlow, Joel Madden, says of his daughter, "She's very gentle with [the baby]."

"I couldn't be happier," Richie says of her family life. "The only thing you want is for your kids to be healthy and happy, and they are. I'm right where I belong."

See the cute cover-boy in the latest issue of People magazine, on newsstands Friday.

  • I am so happy for her, good for Nicole, she seems to have matured some. Motherhood appears to be a natural fit for her. The baby looks quiet and happy.
