Nicole Richie’s Harper’s Bazaar interview: On Motherhood, Joel, Marriage, and Children
Since we’re already at it, why not go full blown with our backtrack edition here in Nicole Richie Watch.
You’ve seen some touching photos of the Richie-Maddens in Harper’s Bazaar’s June 2008 issue. Now, let’s read on the interview that Nicole had in the issue. On this first part of our post we’ll see how Nicole described motherhood for the first time as well as trivial questions like Joel Madden, marriage, and more kids. Enjoy!
On describing motherhood so 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. – Obviously she enjoyed it so much, they’re adding more! Yipee! And I actually totally agree with her here.
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. – That’s why I really think they, two are each other’s match.
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 Joel as a father: Joel actually changes more diapers than I do! It’s his time with her. He sings to her … he laughs with her, plays with her. It’s amazing.
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.
