Nicole Richie Confirms Pregnancy

By: Shannon Gossage

The interview is scheduled to air Thursday on Good Morning America and Friday on 20/20. Richie told Sawyer when asked about the pregnancy, "Yes, I am. We are. I’m almost four months." She confirmed that Good Charlotte frontman Joel Madden is the baby’s father. The two have been dating for about seven months and are reportedly living together now at Madden’s Glendale, California home. The two began dating shortly after Madden’s split from singer Hilary Duff. There have also been rumors that Richie, 25, and Madden, 28, are going to be getting married this summer but so far those rumors have been just that…rumors. Richie and Madden have not confirmed the reported nuptials yet.

Richie also spoke about her DUI arrest in December and her upcoming jail time in the interview. She was arrested on December 11 after police were contacted that she was driving her SUV the wrong way on 134 Highway in California. She failed the field sobriety test and admitted to the officers that she had smoked marijuana and taken Vicodin before getting behind the wheel. On Friday, she pleaded guilty to the charges stemming from that arrest. She was sentenced to four days in jail (minus six-hour credit for time served), fined $2,048, ordered to attend a drug-and-alcohol education class, and was placed on three-years probation.

She told Sawyer, "I have a responsibility and it’s something that I did wrong, and if I could personally apologize to every single person that has lost a loved one from drunk driving, I would. And unfortunately, I can’t, but this is my way of paying my dues and taking responsibility and being an adult." She must serve her sentence within the next 60 days.
