Nicole Richie has denied a report she plans to marry her boyfriend Joel Madden this summer, insisting the rocker hasn’t even proposed.

Richie and Madden, who have baby daughter Harlow Winter Kate together, were said to be sending out invites for their impending nuptials as early as next week.

But a spokesperson for The Simple Life star says, “They are not even engaged.”

Nicole Richie & Joel Madden welcomed their daughter Harlow Winter into this world.  Now only weeks later, they’re welcoming their first public spat as parents.

Reportedly the dispute is over the issue of who will be Harlow’s godmother.  The Simple Life starlet is pulling for Miss Hilton to fill the role, while the Good Charlotte rocker has his hopes set on Sophie Monk, his twin brother Benji’s fiancé.

And they’re in a deadlock over the issue.  According to a source, “Joel doesn’t think Paris is up to the task … He’s lobbying for Sophie.”

What parent would want their little girl to go to Paris for advice???

Joel Madden has said that fatherhood has turned him and Nicole Richie into “the luckiest two people alive.”

“I had no idea what love even was until Harlow came along,” Madden, 28, writes on the Web site of his clothing company, DCMA Collective.

“I swear it’s so hard to leave during the day, but always so rewarding to come home to the little family. I’ve always been a guy who loves to love. Probably one of the things that define me outside of my work is LOVE.”

Madden adds: “She’s already growing too fast!”

First-time mom (and Madden’s girlfriend) Richie, 26, is doing well and enjoying parenthood as much as Madden, he says. Their daughter, Harlow Winter Kate Madden, was born Jan. 11.

“Me and her mother feel like the luckiest two people alive right now,” Madden says. “This time in our life has been amazing. We both look at our little girl every single moment everyday and know there is nothing we wouldn’t do to protect her and her perfect little innocence. It seems like you turn on the TV, or get online, and it’s all bad news.”

After giving birth to his first granddaughter, Lionel Richie has said that he is extremely proud of Nicole. He’s still getting used to the title of grandpa, but we’re sure it’ll grow on him!

He said this in a statement on Tuesday:

“While it may take me a moment to adjust to being called grand dad, I am extremely happy and proud of Nicole and Joel,” Richie says, referring to the birth of his granddaughter.

“Harlow Winter Kate Madden, the newest and most beautiful addition to the Richie clan, is a lucky little girl,” he added. “She was surrounded by a great deal of love at that hospital as she entered the world. Nicole and Joel are going to be wonderful parents.”

Nicole Richie and fiancé Joel Madden welcomed a baby girl into the world late Friday evening.

The baby, weighing in at 6 lbs 7oz, has been named Harlow Winter Kate Madden.

“The beautiful healthy baby girl is home with her ecstatic parents,” Richie’s rep told People.com.

The Simple Life star was snuck into Cedars-Sinai, through a secret entrance. Joel must have been pacing, giving family the updates as they came about. He informed everyone when she was going to start pushing.

Benji Madden, Lionel Richie, mom Brenda, and half-sister Sophia, were all present for the occasion.

Congratulations to Nicole and Joel on their new addition and such a beautiful name!!

When will the very pregnant Nicole Richie finally pop?

“I think it’s sometime in the next week, that’s all we know,” Josh Madden, a DJ, told reporters at the Fuze Resolution Slenderize Kickoff in Hollywood last night. “We don’t know what it is, we don’t know any names.”

(Richie — who made Us’ list of Hollywood’s best dressed bumps — has also said she and Joel Madden “can’t agree” on baby names either.)

One thing Josh is sure of: Bro Joel will make a great dad.

“He’s always had kids at heart,” Josh said. “He kind of modeled his life like a role model and I’d say if he was having a kid or not that everything he’s done from the start is just going to be continued on.”

When asked if Joel is ready to be a dad, Josh told Usmagazine.com, “Oh yeah, I think so.”

And Josh is more than prepared to play uncle.

“I got them some clothes, that’s what I do,” he said. “It’s been ongoing for a while so it’s cool.”
