Round two of the baby making is underway for actress and once former BFF of Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, and her rocker, actor and retailer boyfriend Joel Madden.

Pop singing icon Lionel Richie's little girl is going to make him a Grandpa yet again.

Richie and boyfriend Joel Madden are expecting another child a year after the arrival of daughter Harlow Winter Kate Madden last Jan. 11.

Madden's Good Charlotte's website was where the announcement was made, "I am so happy to tell everyone that Harlow is going to be a big sister! God has truly blessed my family. Hope [you're] all feeling as good as i am right now." Madden's message is titled "Better than winning an OSCAR!"

Once the queen of tabloid reports, thanks to a DUI and being joined at the hip to Hilton, Richie has settled down and has credited being baby Harlow's mother as the reason why. 

Madden has also shown a unique side to his talent, appearing as a guest star on the hilarious Starz original series, "Head Case" with Alexandra Wentworth.  Madden's deadpanned responses to Wentworth's Dr. Goode character were noteworthy.

Madden also has a retail clothing store in Los Angeles with brother Benji Madden.
