Good Charlotte rocker Benji Madden appeared to confirm his relationship with Cameron Diaz before backtracking shortly afterwards. The 35-year-old musician appeared to give the go-ahead for people to call him the Hollywood actress' boyfriend, after he went along with an interviewer’s stance on his current romantic status. When Nova FM Radio host Wippa acknowledged Benji’s recent outings with the 41-year-old star he wasn’t in a hurry to deny that Cameron was his girlfriend.

Benji’s twin brother Joel is married to reality star and fashion designer Nicole Richie, and the couple have two children together.The proud dad admitted that he was happy with his lot, stating: "Life is good, man." Then Benji failed to quash rumours of a relationship with blonde beauty Cameron by adding, "We're lucky guys!"

The pair were first linked back in May when they spotted heading out to the gym together in LA. Sources confirmed that they had been spending a lot of time together in the weeks leading up to that.
It is thought that Benji’s sister-in-law Nicole Richie played matchmaker for the couple.
