Socialite & Reality star Nicole Richie & fiancé Good Charlotte singer Joel Madden go for a stroll hand in hand. Even though they are holding hands, they look kind of distant at the same time.

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are planning to join other celebrity parents on the East Coast.

The couple recently purchased a two-bedroom condo for $999,999 on the Bowery in New York City. Nicole, 26, decided to compromise with her East Coast-bred beau. “Joel has wanted to live in New York for a while,” an insider tells In Touch.

“Nicole has gone along with buying the place, but LA is her home.” And, even though the area is trendy, the 1,000-square-foot spot — which has been described as “very simple” and “low-key” — is tiny in comparison to the couple’s 2,274-square-foot Century City home.

Lucky 2-month-old Harlow will be a bicoastal baby! Nicole and Joel, 29, will live primarily in LA. The NYC pad “will be convenient for traveling, but this is not a permanent thing,” the pal says.
