Photo debunks Richie love split rumour?

There is no truth in the rumour that Nicole Richie and Joel Madden have split, it has been claimed.

Sky Showbiz has debunked the speculation after pictures were taken of the pair in a mall together with daughter Harlow Winter.

According to the site, this proves that Richie has not broken up with Madden and moved back in with her mother.

"Now that we've spied Nicole and Joel strolling through a mall together in Los Angeles with their daughter, Harlow Winter, our suspicions have been confirmed," the blog commented.

Last month Richie clashed with a fan outside a New York nightclub.

The incident occurred as the Swedish tourist was attempting to take a picture of the Simple Life star.
