The “Simple Life” alum and Madden, 47, welcomed Kate in January 2008, followed by son Sparrow, now 16, in September of the following year.
While Kate was born Harlow, Nicole revealed to People in January that her eldest child has chosen to go “by her middle name.”

At the time, Joel commented, “How to make a grown man cry!!!

“She chose it,” the musician recalled in March. “We went to the open house night or whatever [at school], and the teacher [was] like, ‘Kate’s doing great. She’s so nice.’ And we [were] like, ‘Who’s Kate?’
“We went home, and we [were] like, ‘You go by Kate at school?’ And she goes, ‘Yeah, I like it,’” he continued. “There was no discussion. It wasn’t a big deal.”
He and Nicole have been together since 2006, with the couple tying the knot four years later in the backyard of Nicole’s dad Lionel Richie’s Beverly Hills home.
