The situation is looking increasingly bleak for Nicole Richie and her husband, Joel Madden, as the couple continues to face talk that their marriage is in serious trouble.
Richie and Madden have been married for a little over four years, but a friend close to the couple recently told RadarOnline.com that they’ve been dealing with some problems in their marriage that are pushing them “closer than ever” to divorce.
And the fact that Richie has been spotted in the last couple weeks not wearing her wedding ring is only fueling the split talk.
Richie was seen on April 24 without her wedding ring on while filming a commercial in Glendale, California.

And moving trucks were also spotted outside the couple’s Los Angeles, California, home on May 1, adding to the whispers about their rumored split. "Nicole has finally had enough of Joel and she is only interested in moving on now with her life," a source close to the couple told RadarOnline.com. "She told him to leave the house and Joel has complied."

"They have been living as roommates for a very long time now. The passion fizzled out from their marriage years ago and people close to them know that they have both been doing their own thing for quite some time,” the source said. “Things took a nasty turn last month when they were in counseling and it became apparent that Joel had no desire to put any effort forward to change.”
And another source added that their little ones, Harlow and Sparrow, are the biggest concern for those around the couple as they figure out their relationship problems. “Everyone is mainly concerned with their children and Joel has not been actively participating in their lives,” the source said. “Nicole, on the other hand, is always the one taking her kids to and from school, but she has lost even more weight and has not had a smile on her face for almost a year.” Do you think Nicole and Joel are headed toward divorce?
