Nicole Richie, Joel Madden and baby Harlow are featured in the upcoming June issue of Harper’s Bazaar.

The shoot took place at grandpa Richie’s home in Beverly Hills.

Nicole told Extra! that her whole life has changed since becoming a mother, and she wouldn’t have it any other way. “Everything I do is for her. My whole life revolves around her and I absolutely love it. I was so excited from the minute I found out I was pregnant… and it’s been nothing but an amazing ride since.”

Nicole adds that her friends adore Harlow and that they have all grown up a bit since she’s been in their lives. “I feel like my group of five to ten friends, they really love her, like she’s theirs… my friends never go outside for smoke breaks anymore, they don’t curse, they are definitely more demure. It’s actually been really interesting.”

One thing that might (or might not) surprise you is that daddy Joel does most of the dirty work when it comes to the baby. Nicole admits, “Joel actually changes more diapers than I do. It’s his time with her. He sings to her, he laughs with her, plays with her. It’s amazing.”

She adds, “I’m the luckiest girl alive right now. I have nothing to complain about.”

The magazine hits stands May 20th.

Since Nicole Richie and Joel Madden had a baby the question everyone seems to be asking is, ‘When will they get married?’

“Not anytime soon,” Madden, 29, told Usmagazine.com.

The couple do plan on celebrating their first Mother’s Day together though. “I don’t have any [plans] yet but I’m going to plan something special.  She is a great mom, she is super mom,” Joel said on Monday.

Little baby Harlow is a musical girl at heart, apparently taking after her father.  “We turn music on and she can’t stand yet but she definitely tries to dance and move to the beat even though she’s not standing or walking.”

The new People magazine hits newsstands on Friday and adorning the cover is Nicole Richie and new baby Harlow.

In the upcoming edition of People, Nicole Richie talks about her pregnancy and being a mother.  She says, “She gives life a whole new meaning and a whole new purpose.”

There was a blind item out recently that said a new mother is already tired of her little one…and many are saying it’s either Christina Aguilera or Nicole.

This one is tough. You know it’s one of the two, but which one, damnit!  Nicole’s been out in the party circuit lately and Xtina is photographed out every few days flaunting her boobs but not her baby…

What do you think?

Joel Madden has gone soft since becoming a daddy to baby Harlow Winter Kate Madden.

The first time father can’t help but gush about his new daughter on his DCMA website. He claims to know a whole new love with his child and feels he and Nicole are incredibly lucky parents.

“I had no idea what love even was until Harlow came along. 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.”

“Me and her mother feel like the luckiest two people alive right now. 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.”
