Socialite Nicole Richie has given birth to a baby girl in Los
Angeles, media reports said Saturday.
Harlow Winter Kate Madden was born Friday at Cedars-Sinai
Medical Center in Los Angeles, weighing in at 6 pounds, 7 ounces.
It is the first child for Richie, 26, and Joel Madden, 28, the lead
singer of pop-punk band Good Charlotte.
"The beautiful healthy baby girl left the hospital with her
ecstatic parents," the couple's rep at Handprint Entertainment told
People magazine.
Richie and Madden have been dating for a little over a year.
After rampant speculation about the Simple Life star's swelling
physique last summer, they confirmed they were expecting during an
August interview with Diane Sawyer.
