Lionel calls Harlow “Mouse”, thinks the tot healed rift in the family
Well this wouldn’t be the first time I’m going to say this, but am saying it once again; kids always do bring good things in the family.
Take for example how Harlow Madden – daughter of Nicole Richie and Good Charlotte rocker, Joel Madden – has brought pleasant things to her own family. As shared by her grandfather, Lionel during an interview with Ebony magazine, the 1-year-old tot who he fondly calls as “The Mouse” served as a ‘healer’ in the family healing the long-running rift between the balladeer and his ex-wife Brenda.
He told the magazine: “First of all, your baby is going to have a baby. Second, what is this grandpa thing? But then once Harlow showed up, you could call me grandpa so many times that I wouldn’t care. You fall in love with The Mouse — I call her (Harlow) The Mouse.”
He added, “It brings joy to the entire family. All of a sudden Brenda, Nicole’s mom, and I are on the phone with the rest of the family. Because when The Mouse shows up, everybody drops whatever. (That) kind of erases all of the baggage.”
Obviously, Lionel has gotten over his fear of losing his ‘sex appeal’ with him being a grandfather. And with that adorable and charming little girl, whose heart just wouldn’t melt?
With Harlow alone the family already seems to be getting well. I wonder what kind of change will Nicole’s second baby bring to their clan? If Harlow healed the rift between Lionel and his ex-wife, do you think the second baby would bring them back together? Hmmm… who knows…
