Joel Madden has made a rare comment about his “sacred” relationship with wife Nicole Richie.
Bunny during an appearance on the latest episode of Exo dumb blonde podcast, the 47-year-old musician revealed that Nicole is the same person now as she was when he first met her nearly 20 years ago.
“I’m very aware of the way the world works and the story of who Nicole was before ‘us,'” Joel said. “I don’t fight it, but I will say that Nicole has always been the same person she is today.”
He further added, “I’m her biggest fan, and I met her for the first time because I look at someone who is very strong and has been through a lot and has integrity and self-respect.”
The Good Charlotte rocker added, “There’s an elegance and a little bit of class in being above a narrative that everyone else has chosen for you, and she was never in that narrative, even though she made some mistakes when she was younger.”
For those who don’t know, Nicole rose to fame after starring in the hit reality series simple life. She married Joel in 2010, and the couple have two children – daughter Kate, 18, and son Sparrow, 16.
