Joel Madden & Nicole Richie 'Not Married'

Joel Madden and Nicole Richie still aren't man and wife, despite those rumors saying the pair had got married in secret.

Reports claimed Good Charlotte star and longtime partner Nicole tied-the-knot this month, at a fairly intimate ceremony based at their home in Hollywood.

But it seems those stories were a little hasty, as the couple - who recently welcomed their second baby into the world - haven't yet taken their romance to the next step.

"I keep getting emails from old friends and family asking about a wedding." Madden wrote on his blog to clear the air. "No we didn't get married."
