Ethan Miller/Getty ImagesDespite recent rumors, Lionel Richie insists his daughter, Nicole Richie, and her husband Joel Madden are not splitting up.
“I’m going to set the record straight,” the 66-year-old singer tells E! Online. “They are so happy.”
Rumors of a split began to circulate after moving vans were spotted outside Nicole and Joel’s house back in May, but Lionel explains, “No, they were moving out of their old house and moving into the new house.”
“They’re doing so well,” he notes. “I just saw them two nights ago. We had dinner and the whole thing, and they are so happy in their new house.”
Adds Richie, “They actually had a laugh at it, but it started getting serious, and they kept saying, ‘No, no, no, it’s not true.'”
The reality star, 33, and the Good Charlotte lead vocalist, 36, tied the knot in 2010. They have a seven-year-old daughter and six-year-old son.
