Nicole Richie’s teenage kids have made a rare public appearance, stepping out with their famous mother for her movie premiere.

Richie shares daughter Harlow, 16, and son Sparrow, 14, with her husband musician Joel Madden of Good Charlotte, and they appeared to support her new film Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead on the red carpet on Tuesday.

The family wore matching black outfits while posing on the carpet for photos at The Grove in Los Angeles, according to Page Six.

The couple announced their baby news in January this year, with Sofia explaining why she kept it a secret for some time during “so many milestones and ... so many tests”.

Speaking to Vogue, she admitted, “Pregnancy is really scary. For me, it was really important to protect our mental health and our space as a couple.”

Her sister has famously also kept her children’s lives private, rarely showing their faces on her social media profiles.

Nicole Richie shared a photo of Harlow at a nail salon last year, as well as sharing a glimpse of how her family celebrated Mother’s Day.

Nicole Richie and Madden have been married since 2010.

Sofia and her husband married in April 2023 in a luxurious ceremony in France.
