Nicole Richie is on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar. But on the inside is a super cute photo shoot with boyfriend, Joel Madden, daughter, Harlow and even dad, Lionel Richie. In the interview included with the photo she talks about being a mom, marriage and even tattoos.
How she would describe her experience with motherhood thus far:Hmm, I would say how fun it is. Everybody talks about how difficult it is in the first three months, but I absolutely love it. Everything I do is for her. My whole life revolves around her and I absolutely love it. I was so excited from the minute I found out I was pregnant … and it’s been nothing but an amazing ride since.
How Lionel thinks Nicole has changed: Motherhood has given her all the keys to understanding how her mother and I were trying to raise her. Now it has come full circle.
On her and Joel’s opposite personalities:Yeah, for being so opposite, we could possibly hate each other. (smiles) [Joel is] very conservative. [He has] a different way of thinking. But at the same time, he’s never tried to change me. And if anything, we were friends first.
We just have fun together. When we’re apart, we just get on iChat and don’t even say anything to each other. (laughs) He likes to get girly sometimes. But he’d kill me if he knew I said that!
On the topic of marriage and more kids:One day, yeah — not tomorrow, not today. We are committed to our family. I’m 26. I’ve definitely had a very eventful year. So right now, it’s about me enjoying my time with my daughter.
I want five children: twin boys and three girls. I’ve wanted that since I was a little girl.
