Pregnant socialite Nicole Richie has no plans to walk down the aisle with partner Joel Madden anytime soon - because she feels her family unit is already complete.

The Simple Life star has a daughter, Harlow, with the Good Charlotte star and, in February, the couple announced they are expecting another child. And although Richie once dreamed of having kids after exchanging vows in a fairytale ceremony, she insists marriage isn't a priority now - because she already feels committed to Madden.

She tells talk show host Larry King, "Joel's family is actually very Christian and Joel grew up very Christian, and even his idea when he was little was, 'I'm going to get married and then I'm going to have kids'. (He was) very programmed that that's the order that everything happens in."

"And of course, when I was a little girl, I dreamed about getting married and that is definitely a dream of mine one day. But right now, we're really really focused on our family; we're focused on our foundation. As far as feeling that need of commitment, we both really have that in each other."

"I think for both of us, we are going to do it because we want to, not because that's what you do."
