Nicole Richie has prompted speculation that she and longtime boyfriend Joel Madden are expecting twins–just like Joel and his identical twin brother Benji—after the socialite was recently overheard confirming the news to pals.

“Nicole said the other day that she’s eating for three, and it didn’t seem like she was joking.”

According to Star Magazine: “Nicole is telling friends that she’s having twins. She’s hoping they’re boys. She’s so excited.”
