Early life
Nicole Richie was born Nicole Camille Escovedo in Berkeley, California.

The identity of her biological father is the subject of much speculation. It has been widely reported that he was a drummer who worked with Lionel Richie and her biological mother was a backstage assistant for Lionel. It is rumored that her biological father is musician Pete Escovedo (brother of musician Sheila E.), but Richie denied this in a November 2005 interview with Jane magazine.

At age two, Nicole went to live with Lionel and his wife Brenda Harvey-Richie, who began to raise her as their daughter. When she was three years old, Nicole started attending weekly sessions with a psychotherapist and remained in therapy throughout her childhood.

When she was nine, the Richies legally adopted Nicole; she still speaks with her biological mother but has no contact with her biological father. Richie says of her heritage that she is a "mix of everything", and self-identifies as African American. Her godfathers are Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones.

Shortly after the adoption was formalized, Lionel's affair with another woman became public knowledge. Nicole told Ryan Seacrest that she learned about Lionel's adultery when she read about it in a tabloid. The Richies went through a highly-publicized, bitterly acrimonious split, and, apparently feeling guilty about the end of their marriage, indulged Nicole's every whim. "Their way of making me happy was to say yes to everything I wanted, but I don't think a little girl should have that much freedom", said Richie in an interview with Vanity Fair magazine.

Richie has studied the guitar, cello, violin, piano, and figure skating. Richie attended The Buckley School in Sherman Oaks, California. She also attended the University of Arizona to study Arts and Media for two years after graduating from Montclair Prep High School. Quincy Jones said in a People magazine interview that he has "known her since she was a baby. She's a very smart girl. When she was younger she worked eight hours a day for eight years to become an Olympic figure skater. She's a very talented girl.
