Nicole Richie excited by Cameron Diaz’s romance

Actress-designer Nicole Richie is “so excited” that her brother-in-law Benji Madden is reportedly dating Hollywood A-lister Cameron Diaz.

Richie, who is married to Benji’s twin brother, Joel Madden, recently played matchmaker and set The Other Woman star up on a date with her brother-in-law, and is thrilled it went pretty well, reports contactmusic.com.

“Nicole initiated the whole thing by inviting both of them over to her house. She knew they would get along,” said a source.

“She’s so excited that things are working out between them. And it’s an added bonus that she doesn’t have to deal with getting to know another one of Benji’s new girlfriends,” the source added.
