Friday 11 April 2008
Nicole Richie has spoken out about how she is finding motherhood, and how her dad, Lionel Richie, is finding being a “G-Pa”.
Talking about being a mom Nicole told reporters: "It's definitely like nothing I could have imagined."
Nicole says life with daughter Harlow, who is now three months old, is "beyond amazing, and my family has been supportive. And I go to my dad's house all the time."
When asked how Lionel was taking to his role as granddad Nicole said: “He actually babysat the other day – him and Joel [Madden, Nicole's fiancée] – and they were amazing. I mean, she slept the whole time."
Lionel though seemed less convinced he was in control saying: "It's when the baby wakes up that I freak out! I went to Nicole and said, 'Grandpa,' how does that sound? Does that fit me?' She said, 'Dad, that sounds old.' So I kind of searched out ... G-Pa sounds a lot better."
When asked about his daughter the singer added: “She went from, 'Dad, I don't care. Whatever you say.' To 'Wash your hands, Dad' and 'Be quiet Dad.' It's a whole new sound of the house."
