Nicole Richie urged to gain weight

OHMYGOSSIP — Nicole Richie‘s husband Joel Madden wants her to start gaining weight again — so they can have another baby. Nicole, 32, has battled eating disorders in the past. She shocked onlookers at the recent American Music Awards with her emaciated frame and what appeared to be her protruding rib cage.

“Nicole has lost seven pounds in the past two months, which is seriously worrying for everyone,” a source said.

“She’s had trouble keeping weight on for years, and she always watches her­self. But it looks like she’s let things slide again and Joel’s totally freaking out.

“Joel has always wanted a ton of kids, and he’s desperate to give Sparrow a little brother.

“He’s thrilled that Nicole is on board, but he’s told her to fatten up.

“He wants her pregnant before he heads to Australia for The Voice next year. But unless Nicole puts on at least 10 pounds, that’s looking less likely.”
