On Harlow’s arrival, Richie says, “It’s almost like I don’t even remember what life was like before her. She gives life a whole new meaning and a whole new purpose.”

As for how long she was in labor, Richie says, “I don’t know, because I don’t know what time I actually went into labor, but I pushed for 10 minutes.”

Harlow is absolutely gorgeous, what a cutie!

BFF’s Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie now have another thing in common — they’re both dating a Good Charlotte rocker and a Madden. Richie is of course dating Joel Madden, they have a little girl together, Harlow — And now Hilton is dating Joel’s twin brother Benji Madden.

Richie, who had Joel by her side the entire time, also speaks to Diane about her jail sentence, “I have a responsibility and it’s something that I did wrong, and if I could personally apologize to every single person that has lost a loved one from drunk driving I would. And unfortunately I can’t, but this is my way of paying my dues and taking responsibility and being an adult.”
