They have one child together and another on the way, but Nicole Richie is in no hurry to marry her partner Joel Madden, the 'Simple Life' star told Larry King. Richie and the Good Charlotte rocker have been together since 2006, and Richie said, "As far as feeling that need of commitment, we both really have that in each other."
"When I was a little girl I dreamed about getting married and that is definitely still a dream of mine one day," Richie admitted, but said, "Right now, we're really, really focused on our family, we're focused on our foundation."

In a March interview with Japanese magazine ViVi, Richie said, "I don't know about the future... I make it a custom not to plan the future. I may plan to [marry] and I may not."
Richie gave birth to daughter Harlow 15 months ago, and told the TV host that she and Madden don't need to know the gender of their baby in advance this time. She said, "We want the surprise. What is there really to plan? I'll get the clothes after."
