Harper's Bazaar: Motherhood looks gorgeous on Nicole Richie

If you've ever wanted to see how dramatically motherhood could change a woman's life, look no further than Nicole Richie. She's on the cover of the current issue of Harper's Bazaar and says of her daughter, Harlow, "I owe the baby my life."

After stints in rehab, serving time for a DUI (okay, all of 82 minutes) and dealing with an eating disorder, the one-time reality star has definitely changed her ways. Long gone are her partying days with Paris Hilton and jailbird-inspired fashion spreads.

Nicole's embracing motherhood like nobody's business.

Now living with boyfriend and baby daddy Joel Madden, the frontman for the band Good Charlotte, the two seem near picture perfect in the beautifully shot photos for Harper's Bazaar.

In the accompanying article, she dishes on how being a mom has impacted her style, her new, post-baby body and her man. She also mentions that we shouldn't rule out a duet between Joel and her dad, Lionel Richie (I'm pulling for a punk-inspired remake of "Brick House.").

Check out these gorgeous photos of Nicole, Joel, baby Harlow and grandpa Lionel.

My guitar-loving self is smitten with this photo of daddy Joel playing a riff for his girls.

If only little Harlow knew how much we all love the fact that her grandpa is wearing a jersey that says, "Hello."

    To Me: actually Nicole "parents" have never been identified & soon after the adoption of Nicole, Lionel Richie & his first wife Brenda divorced. When you look it is obvious Lionel is Nicole Bio dad. smile nose, eyebrows, whole thing

    This picture is gorgeous!! Before, I always kind-of had the opinion that Nicole Ritchie looked rather Skanky--motherhood has made her beautiful--hopefully, she has had the "wake-up call" and is on the right track now--for that precious baby's sake

    Oh yeah and the term "baby daddy" is really stupid.

    Actually, Nicole is adopted and her birth parent(s) have been identified. Her birth father was either part of the Commodores along with Lionel Richie or either he had some other connection to the music business. The pictures are gorgeous. Happy for them!
