Joel Madden is offering more insight on his and wife Nicole Richie's daughter's decision to go by her middle name, Kate. "That's a narrative everybody ran away with because it gets clicks," Madden, 47, said during the Monday, March 16, episode of the "Dumb Blonde" podcast. "She's been going by her middle name since she was in, like, first grade. She chose it." Madden and Richie, 44, are the parents of 18-year-old Harlow Kate and 16-year-old Sparrow James.
