The parents of Brody Jenner and Nicole Richie have revealed that they are happy that the pair are dating.
Although they admit that the situation is strange as the families have known each other since their children were born, singer Lionel Richie as well as Jenner's parents songwriter Linda Thompson and Olympic runner Bruce Jenner have expressed their approval at the match.
Lionel Richie told People magazine: "I was there when [Brody] was born! They grew up together. To see them together now is like, 'Where are you going with this?' But they're having a wonderful time...He's a great kid."
The Princes of Malibu star's mother added: "[Nicole] is like my godchild...She's a darling girl, very intelligent and very together. I think they're very cute [as a couple]. Will they get married? Who knows? He's young and so is she."
A friend of the couple confirmed that they are enjoying their budding romance.
"They are a very normal couple and Brody is a decent, nice, down-to-earth guy. Even though it's relatively new, it seems like they’ve been together forever," the source revealed.
