Already the proud parents of daughter Harlow Winter Kate, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden just became the proud parents of a baby boy this morning!

The couple wrote on her website:

“In the very early hours of September 9, 2009, Sparrow James Midnight Madden was born to Nicole Richie and Joel Madden. He weighs 7 lbs. 14 oz. Nicole, Joel, Harlow and Sparrow are all doing well. Thank you for all of your good wishes.”

The newborn joins older sister Harlow, who was born in January 2008.

Nicole Richie has enjoyed a new low-key lifestyle at home since the birth of Harlow, thoughstill keeps active with various business projects, including a maternity clothing line for A Pea in the Pod and her House of Harlow 1960 jewelry line.

The couple also run the Richie Madden Children’s Foundation, which they launched in 2007 to provide grants to health-care and education non-profits.

“I don’t think you can plan anything about having a child,” Nicole Richie said in October 2008. “It’s something completely new, so you just have to go with whatever works for you. There’s a million different ways to be a mom.”

We expect she’ll handle it with flying colors yet again!
