Nicole Richie Recalls Being Gifted a Dog From Rock Legend Prince

The 42-year-old actress also shared with Jimmy Fallon the special name that Prince gave the pet.

During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the 42-year-old actress shared that she has a new cat in her life, Lavender Bumblebee, and discussed her affinity for all animals, including ferrets, which she copped to illegally smuggling into California from Nevada in her youth. While talking about her array of pets and their equally intriguing monikers, the Great News star confirmed that it was the "Purple Rain" hitmaker who kicked off her now decades-long love affair with pups. Nicole is a first-time aunt on her own side of the family -- her husband's twin, Benji Madden, is married to actress Cameron Diaz and the pair shares two sons of their own -- and said that she may be more excited than her own little sister, whom she said she loves "more than anything" in an Instagram post back in 2023.
