Picture from PEOPLE. Nicole Richie and Joel Madden - heading for the altar?
Are congratulations again in order for Nicole Richie and Joel Madden?
After a late Friday night performance with his band Good Charlotte at the Hot 99.5 Lil’ Black Dress Party hosted by Perez Hilton at the Clarendon Ballroom in Arlington, Va., Madden was walking offstage when Hot 99.5 morning show deejay Kane announced to the crowd, “He got engaged yesterday. Congratulations, Joel!”
To that, Madden quickly glanced back over his shoulder but was otherwise unresponsive as he made a hurried exit from the stage behind brother Benji.
“We heard this morning,” Kane told PEOPLE following Good Charlotte’s 40-minute set. Crediting he got the word from “good sources,” Kane said he hadn’t seen Richie since hearing the news, but added he had offered his congratulations to Madden earlier in the night. “He said, ‘Thank you so much,’” recalled Kane.
“They’re very excited about the baby and the wedding. They want to keep their personal life personal,” he added.
Non-denial constitutes to a “yes”. Well, congratulations to them. Hope the marriage will last though. I never really understood why Joel Madden would make such a major leap from sweet, wife material Hillary Duff to crack whore Nicole Richie. Guess it’s love?
