Cameron Diaz is said to be dating Good Charlotte singer Benji Madden, according to new reports. The 41-year-old actress sparked rumours that she had found herself a new man when she was pictured out and about with Benji, 35, over the weekend. The pair were seen hitting the gym in Los Angeles, sporting casual wear and looking completely at ease in each other's company. Cameron was later photographed dropping Benji off at the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills where he was staying.

"Cameron is pretty into him," an insider told X17. "She likes the bad boys. But the thing is, Benji's actually a really nice guy. They've been having fun together, making sure it doesn't get too serious too fast." The new couple — who have been dating for about a month — are said to have been introduced by Nicole Richie, who is married to Benji's brother Joel. Cameron and Nicole have recently been snapped hanging out together and growing closer. Earlier this week, the Hollywood beauties attended Vicky Vlachonis' The Body Doesn't Lie launch party in Los Angeles, alongside celebrity friends Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin. The former Charlie's Angels star seemed eager to keep her new romance under wraps, as she posed next to author Vicky for a photo, with her rock star beau standing nearby.

Cameron and Benji's blossoming romance comes just a few weeks after The Other Woman actress — whose past boyfriends include Justin Timberlake, Jared Leto and Matt Dillon — admitted that she wasn't actively looking for a new man. "I don't think you find them, I think they find you," she said, giving her opinion on soul mates. "My feeling about it is you should just be open to receiving.
"There are many soul mates. My soul has a lot of different facets and it needs a lot of different men. Friends, too. Friends can be soul mates."
