Big Head DC can confirm People’s report that rocker Joel Madden popped the question to a pregnant Nicole Richie on Thursday, just before the couple arrived for a rendezvous in Washington.
“Nicole was bowled over with hearts in her eyes,” a well-placed source who asked not to be identified tells Big Head DC. “She was just sad to have to spend the occasion in Washington, rather than being with her friends and family. She wanted to be with her dad really badly.
But fate got in the way. Madden and his band, Good Charlotte, were long scheduled for their Friday night party performance at the Clarendon Ballroom in Arlington, hosted by Perez Hilton.
Richie, being preggers and fearing for her security, couldn’t even attend. Instead, she had to spend her post-engagement glow couped up in a Georgetown hotel.
