Her life has changed dramatically in just a matter of years, but mom-of-two Nicole Richie says she’s content to leave the past in the past.
“I’ve just accepted responsibility for what I’ve done, and I don’t really try and look at why I did it,” she tells the March issue of Marie Claire UK. “I just feel that I have gotten past it and moved on … And I feel extremely blessed to live the life that I’m living.”
Doubly blessed, of course, with daughter Harlow Winter Kate, 2, and son Sparrow James Midnight, 4 ½ months. Describing her family with partner Joel Madden as “really great,” the fashion and jewelry designer says she is particularly delighted by her latest addition and what it means for her firstborn. Nicole explains,
“I’m 13 years older than my brother and I have a younger sister who is 12, so I think it’s really great they’re going to have each other.”
Sparrow’s name was chosen because the couple wanted to give their son “a name to stand up for,” Nicole says, and she attributes much of her postpartum slim down to baby boy himself. “I’m nursing and he’s a big boy,” she points out.
Of the transformation from Hollywood wild child to mom, Nicole, 28, reveals only that her life “has changed in a much more natural way” than most people think. She later adds,
“You know … I’m just one to live in the present and enjoy the time that I’m having. Going back into my past is just not something that I do. Right now, I’m living my dreams.”
