"I always knew that she was, like, wife material, or serious girlfriend material," Madden told host Michael Yo.

"I'm not gonna bet against you on that," Madden said when Michael Yo asked the question. "I'm very, very happy right now."

Madden also said his heart burned for the heiress long before the tabloids started reporting on their relationship.

"We were in love before anyone even knew we were together," he said.

And though he is smitten with the blonde, he said sometimes he holds back on expressing his feelings because of the Good Charlotte fans.

"In my relationship, you just wanna get on top of a mountain and go 'I'm in lovvveee!' but your fans would probably make fun of you," Madden laughed.
