The coach of hit singing talent competition, "The Voice," Joel Madden and wife, Nicole Richie is planning to live in Australia

Former Hollywood wild child Nicole Richie jetted to the land down under last week to visit her rocker husband Joel Madden. Now, the couple is reported to be looking for schools for their children Harlow and Sparrow.

The Lead singer of American band, Good Charlotte, is grateful for the success of his career in Australia due to the huge ratings of Nine's "The Voice." He revealed that he and his wife are looking at some schools and planning to lease a house next year.

Joel and Nicole attended the VIP-exclusive cocktail party at Bondi Icebergs last Thursday, joined by fellow coaches Delta Goodrem, Seal and Keith Urban.

"The kids, those are the only ones that I'm really protective of. One place that actually respects that in the world is Australia, which I love," Madden said in one of his interviews.

It seems that Richie also plans to stay in the land down under as Nine tipped that there will be surprise appearances as "The Voice" Australia is coming to a close in three months. However, there is no confirmation if the two Madden family will have a permanent address in Sydney.

There are also rumors that Madden loved the country and plan for his family to move there. However, Nicole's famous dad Lionel Richie said that Australia is too far for the granddad to visit his grandkids and disagrees if the family will move there for good.

Fellow "The Voice" coach, Keith Urban, and wife Nicole Kidman were also speculated to be moving to Australia. The couple was reported to be looking for some schools and houses in the city.

Nicole Kidman's representative denied to give out comments about the family's plan for the rest of the year. However, the rep confirmed that couple has done "important business meetings" hoping to get things organized for their work to stay in Sydney until Christmas.
