The Nicole Richie, Joel Madden love affair has been blossoming for quite sometime even though the couple hasn’t exactly been parading their relationship around in front of the cameras.

In fact, they’ve barely even been seen together until X17 online caught Nicole and Joel arriving at the Grove separately for a screening of “Dreamgirls.” However, in the X17 Xclusive video, they can be seen leaving together!

In other news, Madden and former flame Hilary Duff requested a dismissal of efforts to get a temporary restraining order in place against an alleged stalker.

The former couple’s lawyers have asked authorities to drop all legal matters concerning photographer David Joseph Klein, which they filed back in October (06).

Klein’s roommate, Maksim Miakovsky, was served with a restraining order and told to stay away from the couple and their families.

The 18-year-old was arrested and charged with making criminal threats and stalking Duff last month (Nov06).
