In early 2009 Joel and Nicole released a statement to announce the pregnancy of their second child. [edit]
In March 2007, it was revealed that Joel was in trouble with the law after a photographer claims Joel violently struck her breast as she tried to take his photo. Only hours after that incident, Joel was videotaped when he shoved another photographer as he attempted to clear a path for girlfriend Nicole Richie. [edit]
Joel and Benji wrote a song for Ashlee Simpson's Autobiography, but it was cut off the album. [edit]
Joel and Benji always used to get prank phone calls from people pretending they'd sign them . [edit]
Joel has an older brother named Josh, and younger sister named Sarah and twin named Benji. [edit]
Joel's favourite place to perform is Japan because the crowd sings along. [edit]
Joel: (releasing news of the pending arrival of his & Nicole's 2nd child) I am so happy to tell everyone that Harlow is going to be a big sister! God has truly blessed my family. Hope (you're) all feeling as good as i am right now. [edit]
Joel: Benji usually tries to match his hair with his underwear, and you know how he had the pink hair for a while? Well, we caught him in a pink underwear one day! [edit]
Joel: Pharrell and I both love music, and when we hang out, we're like two kids in the basement, just listening to records and talking about things we love. [edit]
Joel: (revealing in 2007 that he relies on cigarettes to satisfy his craving for heroin) Without cigarettes, I would be doing heroin, probably, on a daily basis. [edit]
Joel: (on life on the road before he was seeing Nicole Richie) Back when we were on our first tour, you'd always meet some hot girl at the show and would have six hours to kill, so you end up going to her house. But you don't know she has a boyfriend. You end up hiding in the closet when he comes home. There were plenty of those (incidents). There was never a time when I actually got chased down by a boyfriend ... I just had to wait until the girl got him out. I would be sitting in the closet, sweating bullets for, like, an hour. [edit]
Joel: I'm very protective of Hilary (Duff) because people take advantage of her sweetness. [edit]
Joel: (on his relationship with Hilary Duff) We get into fights like any other couple. But I'm not good at fighting with her. I'm a sucker for her. [edit]
Joel: (on ex-girlfriend Hilary Duff, to “In Touch Magazine”) I like clothes, and I think Hilary looks good in her clothes. I like her low key, in jeans. [edit]
