Nicole Richie is officially pregnant

Filed under: Bump Watch, Celeb Parents, Rumors

We've all been talking about Nicole Richie lately as if we knew for a fact she was pregnant. Because she has remained quiet on the subject, I thought there was a least a small possibility that it wasn't true. And frankly, I hoped it wasn't true. One look at her and it is obvious that she hasn't resolved her 'weight issue' and she's about to serve jail time for DUI. This just doesn't seem the ideal time to be taking on the awesome responsibility of a child.

But now the cat is out of the bag and the bun is officially in the oven - Richie has confirmed that she is indeed with child. Her rock and roll boyfriend of seven months, Joel Madden, is the daddy and the baby is due this winter. "Yes, I am. We are. I'm almost four months," she tells ABC News' Diane Sawyer in an interview scheduled to air Thursday and Friday.

She also addresses her DUI conviction in the interview, telling 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." Take that, Paris.

So, official congratulations to Nicole and Joel. Britney has set the bar pretty low, let's hope these two can can raise it a bit.
