Nicole Richie has returned to the dating scene after splitting from former fiance Adam Goldstein in May.

The Simple Life star has found romance with another reality TV participant, Princes of Malibu heartthrob Brody Jenner.

Although the pair have only been together for a matter of weeks, friends seem to think the relationship looks promising, especially as Richie is so different from her precursor - Kristin Cavallari from Laguna Beach.

A source told Us Weekly: “He really likes her. Brody is really easy-going and Kristin was very high-strung. He likes that Nicole is so laid-back and that she’s older and more mature.”
