Behold! Long-term celebrity couple Nicole Richie and Joel Madden have just announced the birth of their second child, a baby boy! And he’s got quite the, uh, interesting name. Sparrow James Midnight Madden, to be precise. Officially announced via a post on Richie’s blog, the happy couple let the world know they were all doing well this morning, stating: “In the middle of night, the very early hours of September 9, 2009 Sparrow James Midnight Madden was born to Nicole Richie and Joel Madden. He weighs 7lbs 14oz. Nicole, Joel, Harlow and Sparrow are all doing well. Thank you for all of your good wishes.”
The newborn Sparrow James represents the couple’s second child, the first of which is Harlow Winter Kate Madden, their one-and-a-half-year-old daughter. Still, even with the family expanding, the young couple still have no plans for wedding bells any time soon. Talking to Larry King back in May, Nicole said, “I think for both of us, we are going to do it because we want to, not because that’s what you do.” And apparently, with two kids in tow, it’s not something they want to do. Yet. I guess.
Sparrow James Midnight Madden? Uh.. yeah. Maybe they shouldn’t be getting married yet.
What’s the kid’s nickname going to be? That’s the question.
