While Nicole Richie and boyfriend Joel Madden are keeping mum about her pregnancy, a courtroom sketch from Richie’s DUI hearing today is proving that a picture is worth a thousand words on the subject.

Drawn standing in front of the judge, Richie contritely holds her hands behind her back, thrusting her baby bump forward for the world to see.

As Us Weekly reported in its July 16 issue, Richie and boyfriend Madden discovered that they were expecting when Richie took a home pregnancy test in early May. She is now estimated to be nearly four months pregnant with their first child. A friend of the couple tells Us that they “both wanted kids and decided this was a good time.”

With her stylishly loose-fitting Moschino dress unable to hide the truth even in sketch-form, we think it’s also a good time for Richie and Madden to come clean!
