Joel Madden Isn't in a Hurry to Marry Nicole Richie

Despite his prank earlier this month, Joel Madden tells People that he has no plans to marry Nicole Richie any time soon. Madden and Richie have a daughter, Harlow, together, but he is just fine with things as they are. Besides, you know how stray women are about wedding bands, and that can only invite trouble.

"We're just happy, and we're being a family, and that's where we're at right now," says Madden. "But marriage means something different to everyone."

Madden is focusing on enjoying fatherhood. There's no need to make an honest woman out of his babymama.

"It's crazy," he says of Harlow. "Every day she does something new. When she reaches for me, it's awesome! Just watching her grow, it melts me!"

Guess focusing on Harlow allows Joel to disregard Nicole's icy stares over the lack of a ring on her finger.

“"Simple Life" star Nicole won't be walking down the aisle anytime soon according to Richie's 'Good Charlotte' rocker boyfriend Joel Madden. He's revealed wedding bells won't be ringing anytime soon for the couple, "we don't have any plans for that right now, we're just happy, and we're being a family."”

“Joel Madden reportedly got so irritated at the wedding rumors that he's taken to posting on his Good Charlotte site to stop the phone calls from relatives. Obviously tired of all his friends and relatives checking up on him (and the pissed-off voicemails from his friends), Joel posted a full message that read:

"So i feel really stupid even posting this, but i've been getting calls and texts from my family all week asking me why they weren't invited to my wedding. I guess the only answer I could give them was that i didnt know we were having one. So i just found out that star magazine wrote some story about a 2 MILLION dollar wedding we are supposed to be having, and thats where it came from. Sooooo if you were pissed at me for not inviting you or even telling you, dont blame me, theres nothing to worry about. Its just star magazine. How long do you think it will be before they write we called it off, or we broke up? i give them a week or two."

Way to call them out on it, Joel. Now let's wait and see if his prediction is right.”

no matter what, they have a kid together. so even if he wants to run later, he can't go that far. and besides, it sounds like he loves his daughter too much to dump Nicole.
