Rocker Joel Madden, who is married to socialite Nicole Richie, revealed that his wife only agreed to go on a date with him because he would not stop asking about it.

The couple tied the knot Beverly Hills in a winter-themed ceremony in 2010 officiated by Run-DMC rapper and reality star Rev, reported Us magazine.

"I'm not for every woman, you know. Because a lot of women -- I mean, obviously, your first thing is, 'What do you want your guy to look like?' And I'm not the tall, dark, handsome guy.

"When I first would see her around, we were friends. But I don't think I'm the obvious choice. I'm always like, 'Just give me a shot. Just give me one date.' If I can get my foot in the door...," he said.
 

The 34-year-old singer said he is still madly in love with the mother of his two kids.

"Sometimes I keep it to myself and sometimes I can't help myself and I gotta tell the whole world how much I love her. I feel like the luckiest man alive to have my wife and kids. When the world outside breaks me down, they build me back up. Hope everyone out there finds this kind of love.
