It’s a boy for Joel Madden and Nicole Richie.

The couple, who already the proud parents of the lovely Harlow Winter, are eagerly awaiting the arrival of a baby boy in August, a tipster reveals in the new issue of In Touch Weekly. Spywitnesses claim Nicole and Joel refer to the baby as “he” and have been stocking up on plushies and other pricey infant items adorned in blue.

“Joel bought water-based paint for the nursery and — surprise, surprise — it’s blue.”
