Nicole Richie does everything for the couple’s baby, Harlow, well, just about.
“Joel actually changes more diapers than I do,” the new mom, 26, said of beau Joel Madden, in an interview with Extra airing Thursday. “It’s his time with her. He sings to her …. He laughs with her, plays with her. It’s amazing.”
Otherwise, says Nicole, the tot is at the center of her life.
“Everything I do is for her,” she says. “I was so excited from the minute I found out I was pregnant … and it’s been nothing but an amazing ride since.”
Nicole even went on to say that her circle of friends have stopped taking smoke breaks and have also stopped swearing around Harlow. She says that “it’s like she’s theirs.” How cute.

Joel Madden whisked girlfriend Nicole Richie and their three-and-a-half-month-old daughter Harlow to the California desert this weekend for a surprise family vacation, the Good Charlotte singer tells People.
The Richie-Madden clan headed to the Palm Springs area for the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, a three-day event headlined by performers including Prince, Jack Johnson and Roger Waters.
“[Nicole] hasn’t been able to do a whole lot over the year, so we’re having a little family trip,” Madden told People at the BPM Hpnotiq Smurf House, where he DJ’d a festival pre-party Saturday afternoon.
“I [rented] a house and surprised Nicole with a weekend trip because she likes Coachella. She was like, ‘I really want to go!’ So I surprised her. We brought the baby.”
And their activity? “Hanging by the pool.”
While Madden, 29, spun music for party guests including Dave Annable and Taryn Manning, a smiling, relaxed Richie, 26, chatted with friends about her daughter, who was being looked after at their nearby rental home.
Benji and Paris, Too
Meanwhile, Joel’s twin brother Benji Madden and his girlfriend Paris Hilton, who last week celebrated their relationship’s two-month anniversary, were also in town for the music festival.
So which couple will make it to the altar first? “We’re the family with the baby so I think probably us, but who knows,” says Joel – who remained mum on his and Richie’s wedding plans.

The pint sized star was dwarfed by her two hulking bodyguards as she walked with her Starbucks cup and over-sized yellow glasses.
