Nicole Richie Actress Celebrities
Nicole Richie Actress CelebritiesNicole Camille Richie (born Nicole Camille Escovedo on September 21, 1981) is an American actress, author, socialite, celebutante, singer, and television personality. The daughter of soul singer Lionel Richie, she is perhaps best known for her role in the Fox reality television series The Simple Life, alongside fellow socialite and best friend Paris Hilton. She has a daughter, Harlow Winter Kate Madden, with boyfriend Joel Madden of Good Charlotte, and together they are expecting a second child. In addition to figure skating, Richie studied the guitar, cello, violin, and piano. In 1986, she started kindergarten at The Buckley School in Sherman Oaks, California where she met Paris Hilton. Richie graduated from Montclair College Preparatory School in 1999. She also studied Arts and Media for two years at the University of Arizona.
In April 2005, reports surfaced that Richie and longtime friend Paris Hilton were no longer speaking. Hilton commented on the reports stating, "It's no big secret that Nicole and I are no longer friends. Nicole knows what she did, and that's all I'm ever going to say about it."Neither Richie nor Hilton ever spoke publicly about the cause of the split. The two eventually reconciled in October 2006.
In early 2006, Richie made headlines with a dramatically thinner appearance, after spending two seasons of The Simple Life slightly heavier than her usual weight. In May she told Vanity Fair, "I know I'm too thin right now, so I wouldn't want any young girl looking at me and saying, 'That's what I want to look like.'" She also said, "I started seeing a nutritionist and a doctor. I was scared that it could be something more serious." During this time it was reported that she had also sought the help of a psychiatrist and a personal trainer. Later that year, in September, Richie stated "I am not anorexic. I am not bulimic. I do not have an eating disorder." On October 27, 2006, it was announced that Richie was seeking treatment for "an inability to put on weight," though it is not treatment for an eating disorder.
In March 2007, Richie was taken to the hospital for dehydration. On March 21, her reps announced she was diagnosed with hypoglycemia. Richie has had a string of high-profile relationships. She dated DJ AM (Adam Goldstein) from 2003 to 2005, and they broke up after a nine-month engagement. Richie was also briefly linked to childhood friend Brody Jenner of MTV's The Hills. Richie's highest profile relationship thus far has been with Good Charlotte lead singer Joel Madden. On July 31, 2007, Richie confirmed that she and Madden were expecting their first child. She gave birth to a 6 lb (2.7 kg). 7 oz daughter, Harlow Winter Kate Madden[31] on January 11, 2008 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
