'We're So Blessed!'
Richie appears on her second PEOPLE cover with baby Harlow, where Madden reveals just how 'blessed' they are. "I can't imagine life without her," Madden says of their 9-month-old daughter. "It was never a moment where it was like, 'This is inconvenient for us.' We're very blessed to have it happen the way it did." Richie adds, "I'd love to say she's a mommy's girl, but when she sees her dad, she nose-dives for him."
