Nicole Richie is Pregnant

After several weeks of Nicole Richie hiding her mid-section from Hollywood photographers, the rumors can be put to rest: Us has confirmed via multiple sources that Nicole is more than 12 weeks pregnant with her and boyfriend Joel Madden’s first child. “She is extremely excited right now,” a source close to the star tells Us.

Richie, 25, shared the good news with her mom Brenda, and close friends like Mischa Barton, in early May, adds the Richie pal, after a pregnancy test came up positive. And the pregnancy isn’t the only cause for celebration.

A source says Madden, 28, along with a few friends and his twin brother Benji, recently went shopping for an engagement ring. And the twins’ older brother Josh Madden tells Us, “Nicole is awesome. I would love for them to get married!” Both families are thrilled about the couple’s baby joy: “Everyone’s happy, everyone’s good, everyone’s getting along.”
