Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are expecting their second baby this fall, but the expectant mom says that despite Joel’s “very Christian” upbringing, they’re in no hurry to tie the knot.
 
“Joel’s family is actually very Christian… Joel grew up very Christian and even his idea when he was little was, I’m going to get married and then I’m going to have kids and, you know, very programmed of that’s the order that everything happens in,” the former Simple Life star told Larry King last night.
 
Nicole, 27, went on to say that she too had dreams of a marriage as a girl, but that for now the pair is content to remain unmarried and just “focus on our family.”
 
“When I was a little girl I dreamed about getting married and that is definitely still a dream of mine one day. But right now, we’re really, really focused on our family, we’re focused on our foundation and as far as feeling that need of commitment, we both really have that in each other.”
 
Nicole’s dad Lionel Richie and her adorable 16-month-old daughter Harlow – who she describes as a “Daddy’s girl” – also joined her on the show.
