The 27-year-old, who already has a one-year-old daughter, Harlow, with the Good Charlotte rocker, is due to give birth in September.Her doting father Lionel Richie said the pair can't wait to be parents again. The singer says: 'It's very exciting. Joel is hoping for a boy, but knowing Nicole she's hoping for a little girl again.

'They're not telling me what sex the baby is because I'll tell everyone!'Nicole says she plans to 'eventually' marry Madden, insisting a wedding is not on the cards just yet.I think for both of us, we are going to do it because we want to, not because that's what you do,' she says.The Simple Life star, once a notorious party girl who regularly fell out of nightclubs with her friend Paris Hilton, has wholeheartedly embraced the quiet life since becoming a mother.
