Socialite Nicole Richie is more than 12 weeks pregnant with the child of her rocker boyfriend Joel Madden, according to the latest U.S. reports. The Simple Life star found out she is expecting the Good Charlotte frontman's child after taking a home pregnancy test, multiple sources tell Us Weekly.

One insider tells the publication, "She is extremely excited right now."

Richie has so far refused to confirm or deny a series of recent pregnancy reports, prompted by pictures of the skinny star with a bloated belly.

One theory for the 25-year-old's silence on the subject is she wanted to wait until she passed the 'safe' 12-weeks-pregnant mark.
