Nicole Richie& Joel Madden

Nicole Richie knows she and her husband, Joel Madden, are different from each other, but they still managed to hit it off. They are an embodiment of the idiom “opposites attract,” and they have let time unfold what is in store for them. Richie gave Madden a chance to show his true intentions, while he worked hard to prove the connection he felt they had.

The Good Charlotte vocalist credits his wife for being the only other person who profoundly influences his life like his brother Benji. He is proud that he has married his best friend. They now have two kids, Harlow and Sparrow Madden. Madden’s life dramatically changed after he met Richie. In fact, he compared it to a religious experience—like a life-changing, cathartic event. Right then and there, he knew she would be his wife. Richie and Madden got hitched in 2010.
