Nicole Richie and Joel Madden Step Out

Joel Madden is helping to prove that chivalry isn’t dead, as he was spotted helping his baby-mama Nicole Richie into their SUV while leaving their house in Glendale on Tuesday (March 4).

Nicole, who gave birth less than two months ago to daughter Harlow Winter, is already back to her thin self - possibly in part to the fact that she’s been eating “very bland food” due to breast-feeding duties.

Meanwhile, Nicole Richie’s People magazine baby cover is on course to outsell that of Christina Aguilera’s.

According to press reports, “Nicole’s pictures with seven-week-old daughter Harlow look set to help the publication reach sales figures of 1.8 million - while Christina’s snaps with son Max Liron, who was born on the same day as Harlow - managed only 1.3 million last month.”

A source told MSNBC: “There’s a greater element of curiosity with Nicole. She’s gone public about being a heroin addict. Her boyfriend Joel Madden is covered in tattoos. By default she has the most interesting baby. People want to see how she settles down. They want to see what kind of baby someone with her background has.”

The insider added: “Christina historically doesn’t do that well on covers. The issue of OK! featuring her wedding photos didn’t sell very well, and neither did the nude photo shoot she did in Marie Claire in January when she was heavily pregnant.”
