(CBS) Reality TV star Nicole Richie is expecting her first child, the Web site TMZ reports, citing sources close to Richie.
In Touch magazine is also reporting that Richie, 25, is planning to marry her boyfriend, Good Charlotte singer Joel Madden, this summer.
A rep for Richie told The ShowBuzz in an email on Tuesday that "we have nothing to report."
Rumors have been swirling for weeks that the "Simple Life" star — the daughter of Lionel Richie — is pregnant.

"We received a tip from a source who had been very reliable in the past that Nicole was still in her first trimester and that although she and Joel had hoped it would keep her out of jail for her DUI charge, it wasn't why she got pregnant," Celebrity Baby Blog's Danielle Friedland told The Showbuzz.
The news comes just days before a scheduled court appearance. Richie was arrested in December for driving while under the influence after she was spotted driving the wrong way on a highway. She entered a not guilty plea in February and is due in court on July 11.
Richie recently told David Letterman that she's hoping she won't follow her friend Paris Hilton to the slammer.
"I'm just keeping my fingers crossed, of course," she said on CBS' "Late Show with David Letterman" last month. "I'm scared also, but I'm willing to face whatever consequences come my way and I take responsibility for what I've done."

Re: "Reality TV star Nicole Richie is expecting her first child"
This is going to be a long, arduous process of elimination, but I will get the ball rolling by revealing that I am not the father.
Tough call if you're a judge because she even admits she intentionally got pregnant AFTER she was arrested. Like she KNEW with a second offense that the sentencing guidelines dictate a mandatory minimum sentence of 90 days for the DUI alone. I hope when she decided to get pregnant she considered the possibility that she might have to spend part of her time in jail and that she'd be under their medical care . . . it'd be terrible to think that she didn't give any thought to her child's welfare and only thought of herself. Then again, maybe the medical care for inmates is just fine. I used to tutor a kid who was born in jail and she was just AWESOME :)
Tell me mark, are you even capable of speaking with any kind of intellegence?
