LOS ANGELES — “The Simple Life” just got more complicated for Nicole Richie: She’s a first-time mom.

Richie, 26, gave birth Friday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to a daughter named Harlow Winter Kate Madden, People magazine reported on its Web site.

The father is Richie’s 28-year-old boyfriend, Joel Madden, of the rock group Good Charlotte.

“We are very blessed she’s healthy and beautiful and so good already,” Madden told People on Saturday. “We are very happy.”

Richie, the socialite daughter of singer Lionel Richie, is perhaps best known for costarring with Paris Hilton in the reality show “The Simple Life.”
