How Joel Madden Changed Nicole Richie's Life


We have to admit, when we first heard Nicole Richie and Joel Madden were dating we weren’t too keen. But after watching Diane Sawyer’s interview with the couple, they definitely grew on us. In the latest reports we learn how Joel has domesticated Nicole and turned her life around.

Friends in their circle are talking and believe that the odd pair have come along way. The two have circled each other for years, but didn’t officially meet until 2006. The two were introduced through mutual pals and began a casual e-mail friendship. When Joel split from his longtime girlfriend Hilary Duff, Nicole found the opportunity to step in.

A close pal reveals to Us Magazine how “The Simple Life” star made the first move and pursued Joel. “She said she liked how he was a ‘good mama’s boy’ in a bad boy body.” The couple began dating and after Nicole’s DUI stint, Joel asked her to drop the nights out for some nights in.

The “Good Charlotte” singer has tamed the wild child. One pal reveals, “he took her from that dark path she was heading toward and turned her around into a truly responsible person.” Joel even recites Bilble passages to Nicole on a regular basis. Maybe they should do a bible study and throw in Paris Hilton, since she could never remember the passages. Do you guys feel like Nicole is a changed woman? Is it possible for Nicole to drop her “Simple Life” ways of partying at Hyde to staying home and reciting the Bible?

Why is she even famous. She will probably starve the baby to death anyway. I think she only did drugs to give people to remember her by. I wish they would both go away so we don't have to look at her ugly ass anymore.

In a life time everyone is given a chance to change and I think that this is Nicole's time to change. Thanks to Joel who is helping her out to make some changes in her life. I love Nicole and I know that she can do it. Be strong Nicole and always pray for the Lord to guide you in the right path. God bless you and take care of yourself and the baby. Jinnah

Joel is a pig. I cant believe he went from hilary duff to nicole ritchie. Thats night and day. Nicole can not compare to hillary at all. Joel and nicole wont last AT ALL. What a joke and joel can eat his heart out because hillary is the one he should love.

well, yeah. i think she changed and it's all because of joel. he's a cool guy. hilary duff is the sweetest girl ever, but maybe they weren't meant for each other. anyway i think that yes, they are very happy. i wish them everything the best.

I absolutely love Nicole. She has an awesome personality and I wish the best for her. She definately seems like she's slowed down on life since being with Joel.

So happy that she is finally on the right track. It would be nice if they stayed out of the Hollywood microscope after the baby is born. Wish them the best!

oh and by the way her last name is spelled RICHIE

Yes, I definitely think its possible for people to be saved and embrace God or some sort of belief in order to sustain/calm down an unhealthy behavior. They seem happy, hopefully a baby doesn't keep a relationship healthy, but a self sense self. And Hilary Duff is not worried, she's moved on and she's better off. She was way too young for such a serious relationship. Also Joel is odd to me, he claims to be soo conservative yet he was dating a 16yr old and he was 25, that's strange! But who am I? nobody...

It's hilarious when people like this anonyfool at 1:03 and 1:05 come to sites like this one and tell everyone "if you can't say something nice, say nothing." They might wanna choose their sites a little more carefully.

I just think of Joel back when he was singing "Lifestyles of the rich and the famous" and now he is mingling with them. Well, I do hope that their baby is healthy.

YES...GOOD QUESTION...WHY IS NICOLE FAMOUS? ANSWER: SHE'S NOT!!! SHE'S A WANNABE ATTENTION GETTING NOBODY! IF SHE BECOMES A CHANGED PERSON THEN YEAH I'LL CHANGE MY MIND. REMEMBER ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS.

I feel bad for that baby. I mean, who am I to say, but the mom almost killed it and will probably go back to drugs after she gives birth. Plus the dad smokes cigarettes(a pack-and-a-half a day) and it will probably suffer from seconf hand smoke when he gets back on.

Joel gave up smoking already. maybe you should know what you're on about before you post?!
