Nicole Richie & Joel Madden

It is not hard to see the race difference between married couple Joel Madden and former reality star Nicole Richie. The Good Charlotte lead vocalist was born in Maryland but boasted of his Irish, Scottish, and German ancestry. Richie also has a list of ethnicity within her roots. Through her biological father Peter Michael Escovedo and mother Karen Moss, the star has Mexican and Creole African-American ancestry. She was later adopted by music icon Lionel Richie when she was 9.

The couple is now celebrating ten years of marriage together with their two kids Harlow and Sparrow. Richie and Madden have been notably living a low-key profile in the past several years, after the former star’s infamous popularity with pal Paris Hilton. Richie, who focuses on being a doting mother to their two kids, has also been hands-on in her businesses and investments. She has opened her clothing line and has been a book author.
