Nicole Richie's new son Sparrow is being encouraged to become a footballer, despite being just a week old.
The reality TV star's father Lionel Richie reveals he has bought his new grandson "a football helmet."
"They told me it wasn't time yet." The veteran singer added. "Sparrow may not be a football playing name, but he'll get bruised somewhere in the game."
Richie also admitted he is excited and proud to be a grandfather for the second time (Nicole already has a baby with Joel Madden - daughter Harlow).
"I am so proud of Nicole and Joel," He added to Us Magazine. "Nicole is the happiest woman ever. She is just in total control. I'm the one that's nervous!"
"He looks just like Harlow. All babies sort of look the same as their siblings, but this is identical."
"When I hear the words Papa or Popi, forget about it. I was so happy when Harlow was born but now we have Sparrow - it's just over the top!"
