Lionel Richie on Nicole’s pregnancy, Nicole Richie admit she lied

Nicole Richie announced her baby news and her father Lionel Richie says he is thrilled. The soul singer jokes that now Nicole will get to see what she put him through. Nicole revealed that she told her father about the pregnancy weeks before she and boyfriend Joel Madden revealed their baby news in a TV interview.

“I said, ‘Well, you’re going to be a grandfather,’ and he told me, ‘Now you’re going to experience what I have. All the things you put me through, that’s what you’re going to go through,’” Nicole says.

 

"Her pregnancy has given her a new perspective on life in general," Lionel Richie said "In spite of what has happened, I continue to love her and cherish our relationship."

 

Nicole also admits that she lied about her pregnancy at first. “I took me a long time for it to sink in. I didn’t even really believe it until I heard the heartbeat,” the socialite admits.

 

Nicole says she is four months pregnant and id due in December. The ‘Simple Life’ star was sentenced to 96 hours in jail after she was found guilty of a DUI charge. Richie will serve her time at the same jail that her pal Paris Hilton spent 23 days behind bars.
