It’s time to hop in a time machine because Nicole Richie<\/a><\/strong> is throwing it back to the early 2000s.<\/p>\n

Richie shared a photo\u2014an early era selfie, to be exact\u2014of herself and her husband Joel Madden<\/a><\/strong>that they took over 10 years ago. The Simple Life<\/em> star wore a silver sequin and mesh top and heavy black eyeliner while Madden rocked a black Good Charlotte tank top and a black fedora. She posted the throwback in honor of the singer’s 40th birthday<\/a>, which she wrote about<\/a> in the caption.<\/p>\n

“Here we are at 25 & 27. Today you’re 40,” she described. “Happy Birthday to my P.I.C., my ride or die, & my best friend for life @joelmadden.” Richie’s love for the Good Charlotte singer is clearly her “anthem.”<\/p>\n

The birthday boy praised Richie as well as his twin, Benji Madden<\/a><\/strong> in an Instagram birthday tribute<\/a> of his own. “Happy Birthday to my partner and best friend @benjaminmadden We’ve been to hell and back and landed on our feet because of you and our wives,” he wrote. “All my better halves. I would not be a husband or father if you didn’t push me to be the better version of myself. You lead quiet and by example. I’m blessed to follow my brother.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Benji married Cameron Diaz<\/a><\/strong> in 2015. It’s quite the star-studded family!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Richie and her rocker husband have been married for about 9 years, although they’ve been together for much longer. The two of them announced in 2007 that they were expecting their first child<\/a> together. Harlow Madden<\/strong> was born on Jan. 11, 2008 and their second child, Sparrow Madden, <\/strong>arrived not long afterwards on Sept. 9, 2009.<\/p>\n

The duo tied the knot<\/a> at Richie’s dad Lionel Richie’s Beverly Hills<\/strong> home on Dec. 11, 2010. Apparently, their ceremony also somehow involved an elephant. The exact reason for it is unclear, which really makes it the elephant in the room.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

The parents of two tend to share sweet photos of each other on social media mixed alongside some pictures of their respective professional endeavors.<\/p>\n
