Celebrity dad, rocker Joel Madden has admitted that family planning with partner Nicole Richie is left to chance rather than mutually decided.

The 30-year-old Good Charlotte frontman told American radio host Ryan Seacrest in a recent interview that he and Nicole, 27, have yet to plan how many children they would like and when.

Joel explained: "We let love plan our babies. We said even before this one we didn't know how many kids we were going to have…then we got pregnant!"

Last month, the high-profile couple confirmed the news that they are expecting their second child together later in the year.

Commenting on the pregnancy, proud dad Joel gushed: "We're excited about it; it's going to be great."

The Simple Life star Nicole gave birth to their first baby, one-year-old daughter Harlow, in January 2008, weighing 6lbs and 7oz.

Good Charlotte are due to release their fifth studio album, Cardiology, in a few months' time, the band revealed.
