LOS ANGELES (AP) _ After months of rumors, Nicole Richie confirmed Tuesday that she is pregnant.

``Yes I am. We are,'' Richie told ABC News' Diane Sawyer for an interview to be aired this week. ``I'm almost four months.''

Richie's boyfriend, Good Charlotte frontman Joel Madden, is the father, she told ABC, which issued a news release about the interview.

The 25-year-old star of ``The Simple Life'' and on-again pal of Paris Hilton also talked with Sawyer about her guilty plea last week to driving under the influence and the resulting four-day jail sentence.

``I have a responsibility and it's something that I did wrong, and if I could personally apologize to every single person that has lost a loved one from drunk driving, I would,'' Richie said. ``And unfortunately I can't, but this is my way of paying my dues and taking responsibility and being an adult.''

Richie also shared her thoughts on her hard-partying contemporaries and what effect their bad behavior has on young fans.

The interview will air on ``Good Morning America'' on Thursday and Friday and on ``20/20'' Friday night.
