Nicole Richie Biography
Nicole Richie was born Nicole Camille Escovedo in Berkeley, California. Initially, Lionel Richie became her guardian. At age two, Nicole went to live with Richie and his wife, Brenda Harvey, who raised her as their daughter. Nicole began attending weekly sessions with a psychotherapist at age three, remaining in therapy throughout childhood. She was legally adopted by the Richies at age nine. Shortly after the adoption was formalized, Lionel’s affair with another woman became public knowledge. The Richies went through a bitter, public split, and as a result, indulged Nicole’s every whim. “Their way of making me happy was to say yes to everything I wanted, but I don’t think a little girl should have that much freedom,” said Richie in an interview with Vanity Fair magazine. Lionel Richie remarried following his divorce and gave Nicole two younger half-siblings: Myles (born 1994) and Sofia (born 1998). Richie has one godmother, Nancy Davis, daughter of Marvin Davis and mother of Brandon Davis. Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson were each Richie’s godfathers. Jones said in a People magazine interview that he has “known Nicole Richie since she was a baby. She’s a very smart girl”.
