Nicole has two children with Good Charlotte rocker boyfriend Joel and Lionel has nothing but good wishes for all of them.

He recently told People: "My happiness for Nicole and Joel knows no boundaries. They have given me two beautiful grandchildren, Harlow and Sparrow, and have proven to be great parents.

"I am not sure who is luckier, Nicole and Joel to have each other, or me, to have both of them in my life. I cannot wait to give away the bride!"
