Nicole Richie and Joel Madden Pictures With Harlow and Sparrow at Taronga Zoo

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden took their two kids, Harlow and Sparrow, to Taronga Zoo on Tuesday. It seems as though Nicole has a soft spot for giraffes as she tweeted, “Thank you Tarongazoo for introducing me to the love of my life,” with a picture of the giraffe she was spotted feeding. Joel also enjoyed the day with Harlow on his shoulders and wrote on Twitter, “Thanks Toronga Zoo for having us today with the kids. They are still buzzing from it. Can't get enough. We'll be back fo sho.” He also shared his love for Australia in general: “Australia is the best place for kids bar none. Pretty amazing to see my kids loving it as much as I do. So happy they feel a home.”

Joel is a coach on The Voice and this morning it was announced that one of his team members, Carmen Smith, was asked to leave the show due to her participation in Guy Sebastian’s latest music video. Joel is yet to comment on the matter but we can expect some sort of explanation on Monday night’s live show.
