According to Chron, Joel Madden, the Good Charlotte star, is ignoring rumors that he and wife, Nicole Richie, are divorcing. The rocker recently praised his “best friend” during the Mother’s Day celebration.

Madden expressed on Instagram.com how grateful he is for all Richie does for him and their children, daughter Harlow, 7, and son Sparrow, 5. He stated “Happy Mothers (sic) Day to my best friend and partner in rhyme. Best wife, mother and friend a father and his kids could ever ask for.”

The Mother’s Day message isn’t the only public contradiction to rumors the couple is splitting. Madden posted a picture of Nicole’s feet in socks that bared the couple’s smiling faces. He captioned it, “Sock Game Strong.”

What started all the allegations that the couple was headed for divorce? Pictures of Richie shopping with her sister-in-law, Cameron Diaz, in Beverly Hills without her wedding ring on started the ball rolling. Later, it was revealed that the couple had bought a house and rumors spread that they were going to live separately. However, it has now been cleared-up that the couple is moving together to be closer to family. In fact, they are going to live in the same private community as Benji and Cameron Diaz.
