Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are having space issues. When Nicole was pregnant with Harlow, they were still living in Joel’s bachelor pad. After Harlow’s birth, they began renting a slightly bigger Hollywood home, with room for a nursery and Joel’s office. Now that Nicole is pregnant with their second child, she is kicking Joel out of his office. Nicole has big plans for his man-cave, too. It involves lots of frills and pink bunting.

Mom-to-be Nicole Richie is giving boyfriend Joel Madden the boot — out of his in-house office, that is.

The pair, already parents to 15-month old daughter Harlow, need to make room for their new baby the in the home they’ve been renting on Hollywood’s Outpost Drive since late last year. Unfortunately, that means converting Joel’s home office into a third bedroom.

With the second child on its way, Nicole, 27, wants Harlow to move out of the nursery and into her own “big girl’s room.”

“Nicole plans to redo Joel’s office in pink and frills,” a source tells OK!. “She’s told him he either has to move to the garage or put his laptop in the kitchen!”

Joel, 30, hates the idea of being kicked out of his office, but knows it’s for a good cause. Says the source, “He’s thrilled to death that they are expecting another baby.”

Joel seems like he’s being a very good sport. Not to be crude, but he’s probably thrilled Nicole’s got her pregnancy boobs back, and he’ll do anything the boobs ask. It would be nice if Joel had his own space for his man-lair, but Nicole is probably nesting like crazy. I bet she is having a field day decorating Harlow’s big girl room too. Perhaps now’s the time to buy a bigger place? Real estate is a buyer’s market right now, they could probably easily afford something larger. Perhaps a five-bedroom with a big backyard? That would be plenty of space for Joel’s office and a third baby!
