The 26-year-old star – who gave birth to her first child with fiancé Joel Madden on January 11 – is finding motherhood “wonderful”.

Speaking at the opening of Los Angeles’ Eli Broad Contemporary Art Museum on Saturday (09.02.08), she said: “Harlow is doing great. Really great. It hasn’t been much more than a month but all I can say is that being a mother is everything I hoped it would be and more. It’s wonderful.”

Later on Saturday evening (09.02.08), Nicole and Joel visited a pre-Grammys party at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, but were so eager to get back to Harlow they left before midnight.

Joel was overheard telling a friend at 11.40pm: “Harlow only sleeps for three hours at a time. She’s with Grandma at the moment but if she wakes up…”

Good Charlotte frontman Joel, 28, previously revealed Harlow is the spitting image of her mother.

He said: “She looks so much like her mom its crazy! She eats like a little maniac and she’s really sweet. She barely ever cries, even when daddy is changing her diaper, and believe me I suck when it comes to diapers, but I’m learning!”
