Joel Madden celebrates a decade of marriage with Nicole Richie, expressing immense gratitude for his Queen and describing her as the epitome of an extraordinary partner A heartfelt tribute to their remarkable union
Joel Madden's love for Nicole Richie remains as strong as ever after ten years of marriage.
Speaking on the Tamron Hall Show on Tuesday, November 7, Madden, 44, couldn't help but gush over Richie, 42, and their family as they approach their 13th wedding anniversary. "She's absolutely stunning. She's my queen," he expressed. "She has been an incredible partner. I consider myself extremely fortunate."
The musician, who has a 15-year-old daughter named Harlow and a 14-year-old son named Sparrow with Richie, also discussed his almost 17-year-long relationship with his wife. "The band is the only thing I've been a part of for longer than 17 years," he mentioned, referring to Good Charlotte, where his twin brother, Benji Madden, is also involved.
Joel expressed that Richie played a significant role in his journey of self-discovery. Now, he hopes to teach his children the importance of embracing their true selves and cultivating self-love.
"Learning this took me a considerable amount of time," he offered. "When it comes to exposing yourself to others, there is a possibility of doing it inappropriately as well. Therefore, it is crucial to prioritize self-love before opening up to the world, and ensure that you do it in a respectful manner."
Joel Madden and Nicole Richie began dating in 2006 after being introduced by a mutual friend at a party. In a 2013 interview with Australia's 60 Minutes, Joel said, "When I first saw her, we were friends. But I knew I wasn't the obvious choice. I always asked her for a chance, just one date. I just wanted to get a foot in the door."
In 2010, they publicly announced their engagement and shortly after, they got married. Richie has previously revealed the secret to keeping their relationship exciting and vibrant. "We always find joy in laughter and ensuring we have fun," she revealed exclusively to We magazine in September 2019. "It's truly wonderful to share the journey of life with someone who shares the same goals. It adds a delightful element to our way of living."
Three years later, during an interview with ET Canada, she disclosed that she doesn't possess a hidden formula for her enduring marriage. She stated, "We simply allow each other to be authentic and enjoy ourselves."
On the other hand, Joel took to social media to express his affection for Richie, posting on Instagram in 2021, "Wishing Nicole a happy birthday. With you, love transcends time, and I have lost track of our age."
