Nicole Richie turns 45 on 21 September 2026. Born Nicole Camille Escovedo in 1981 in Berkeley, California, she became a familiar figure in American popular culture in the 2000s.

Her visibility grew with the reality series “The Simple Life,” alongside Paris Hilton, first broadcast in 2003. The format placed them in constructed situations outside their usual environment. This is not a biography of the Hilton family.

She later worked in fashion, television, acting and writing. Those projects are mentioned after the platform or house that distributes them, not after tabloid rumour. This account does not go into health or children.

The public path also illustrates celebrity’s shift from tabloid press to artist-controlled channels. A clothing brand or a guest role is not a complete résumé without a checked filmography.

Acting credits are read in production databases. Fashion projects, separately. IMDb records the birth date as 21 September 1981, Berkeley.
