It has finally been confirmed.  Nicole Richie told Diane Sawyer in an interview to air later this week on ABC that she is in fact pregnant.

“Yes I am. We are. I’m almost four months,” she tells ABC News’ Diane Sawyer in a new interview airing on Good Morning America Thursday and on 20/20 Friday.

Richie, 25, confirms that the baby’s father is rocker boyfriend Joel Madden, 28, whom she’s been dating since earlier this year.

It will be the first child for both Nicole and Joel.  Hopefully Nicole will get the proper nutrition and have a healthy child.  She has the potential to be a great mother.

Richie agreed last week to a plea deal to serve four days in jail for her second DUI offense.
