Nicole Richie Expecting A Boy?

Pregnant Nicole Richie takes her daughter Harlow, 16 months, for some of her first baby steps at a playground in Los Angeles on Tuesday (May 12).

Nicole and Joel Madden are reportedly expecting a boy. “Joel bought water-based paint for the nursery and – surprise, surprise – it’s blue,” a pal of the couple tells InTouch. “Plus, she recently ordered some plush animals and infant toys from FAO Schwarz, and everything just happens to be blue.”

A pal also adds that Nicole refers to the baby as “he.”
