LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Just six weeks after giving birth to Sparrow James Midnight Madden, proud parents Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are showing him off in the latest issue of People magazine.

Nicole tells the mag, "I couldn't be happier. The only thing you want is for your kids to be healthy and happy, and they are. I'm right where I belong." And Nicole isn't the only one going gaga over her newborn son! She says, "[Harlow] just loves him so much," and Joel added, "She's very gentle with him."

While the happy family didn't talk about marriage with that publication, Star magazine reports that Joel and Nicole exchanged vows during an "intimate at-home ceremony on October 14 with Joel's brother and bandmate Benji as a witness"! The mag reports that Nicole and Joel were married with 45,000 other people worldwide as part of a mass wedding by the Unification Church.

"Joel had been begging Nicole to get married since before Harlow was born. She wasn't in a rush to make it official," a source tells Star. "She didn't want to spend another day not being Mrs. Joel Madden. Nicole is a free spirit, and she wanted a wedding ceremony that reflected that. She found out about the mass wedding online and thought it would be perfect for the two of them."

Whether they tied the knot or not, we wish them the best!

LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Last month, Joel Madden denied rumors that he and Nicole Richie had tied the knot in a secret ceremony, but yesterday, X17online spotted Richie wearing a wedding band on her ring finger while out with Harlow at the park!

On October 21st, Joel blogged:

Married?? I keep getting emails from old friends and family asking about a wedding. NO we didn't get married.

But that was almost two weeks ago. It's definitely possible that Nicole and Joel could have pulled off a wedding since then.

Plus, that ring Nicole's wearing is a classic wedding band, it's too simple to be just an engagement ring.

So did they or didn't they?

LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Nicole Richie is showing off her fab figure and new clothing line, Winter Kate, in the new issue of the Marie Claire UK, where once again she addresses those pesky anorexia rumors.

"I felt it was a little unfair to say someone has an eating disorder when they don’t. It’s extremely insulting and irresponsible. An eating disorder is serious and it’s a disease." We totally agree with that assessment, but we also think there's no way to look at her body now versus her body in 2006 and NOT raise the question.

Apparently, we weren't the only one. Nicole says that usually she just tried to ignore the rumors, but "The only time it bothered me was when I was in a store trying on shoes and these girls came up to me - they were probably like 13 or 14 - and their mother came over, and she said, 'Are you taking care of yourself, because my girls think that you're not.' That was upsetting," the five-one star said.

But just look at her now! A fashion icon and MILF as her partner, Joel Madden tweeted yesterday. "MILF ALERT," he bragged. "Dayummmm. I'm patting myself on the back right now. High Five me."
