Benji Madden & Sophie Monk Engaged

Benji Madden & Sophie Monk are engaged. I know Hilary Duff and Benji are still good buds, so I am sure she is super happy for him!

Good Charlotte’s Benji Madden and Australian actress Sophie Monk are engaged, her rep tells PEOPLE exclusively.

"Benji proposed to Sophie in Australia on Christmas Eve," says Monk’s publicist, Kacey Spies. "They are very excited and enjoying this time with family and friends."

Madden gave Monk a Neil Lane platinum diamond ring.

In September, Madden and Monk, both 27, were spotted kissing over lunch at L.A.’s Newsroom CafĂ©. That night, they stepped out again for dinner at The Ivy.

    well idk what to say…but all i can say is he only knew da chick for 4 freakin months, then gets engaged…thats pretty dumb.

  2. maila

    i get what you mean goodgurllovesdcma but it think benji is happy, and i guess he wants to settle down but if before or after gc album release they get married or split around the release time, then i say it was all a publicity stunt! lol

  3. goodgurllovesdcma

    Maila i agree…there is something that is not right with Benji and his brother at the moment…Joel is dating Nicole, and benji engaged? I expected something else of these boys, and for them not to do stupid things. I also think it is a publicity stunt…if one twin gets attention, the other twin has to have it too! If one don’t get the attention…they get jealous. So…its dumb.

  4. maila

    goodgurllovesdcma exactly! like when benji was single and joel was with hilary, in order to gain attention he would go out with hilary and joel on theri dates and be seen by the media, or just to get noticed again for ‘hilarys sake’ (totally for his own purpose!) he started slamming kelly clarkson because apparently she said that she would love to be in a fight with hialry cause there both from texas!…n kelly said that as a joke and hialry neither did take it personally and then joel n benji got involved n started slamming kelly!…then backed off!…
    so its the same now joel is seeing someone…n as soon as he’s in the meida light benji suddenly seeing someone….n then gets engaged!…
    there both so fame hungary!….if they really try hard they can been known for theri music which i love!…and not for being hilarys ex and nicole’s now bf…and benji ebing known as sophie monks fiance!…
    like every site i go to…it always refers to joel as hialrys ex and benji as joel otehr half! lol
    they need to make their own name formtheri music not theri relationships! have some dignity guys!
    wow that was looooooooooooooong!

    n i dont care who doesnt agree!

  5. purplefangs

    your a moron maila, get a clue (and a dictionary)

    congratulations benji xx

  6. matt

    is this website called joel fan?

  7. may.madden

    It’s a bit sudden…Benji and Soph…or is it…maybe they just never told anyone that they were together!? I love benj iand all don’t get me wrong but maybe he was like…yeh i’ll ask to marry her while i have a hot girl, or before he is 30?? Anywayz i am soo HAPPY coz she is aussie which makes benji sorta have Aussie too!
    Joel is only dating Nicole to keep his mind off Hilary…she kept Joel clean and inline….now his gone off the rails again!He loved her…he definatly doesn’t love Nicole…he doesn’t look at her the way he use to look at Hilary. Nicole is only his rebound gf. i hope Hilary realises tah tand they get back together they were truely in love! Joel and Nicole i think might actually last until like marriage but then they will get divorced like 5 days later i rekon. I think Joel is gonna fall hard unfortunaly. ={

    I agree with may.madden. Joel has had bad relationships in the past, and i think he is underestimating Nicole. She can never keep a guy, and just like with Hilary, he’s going to be hurt. But all of us Good Charlotte/Hilary Duff fans will be there for him right?

    Also, on X17online.com it shows Sophie walking down the stairs with Nicole. How long have they known each other? Maybe Sophie helped Joel and Nicole hook up.

    And another question. When Joel and Hilary hooked up. They created Jilary, or Joelary. What do we have now? Nicjoel? Just a question. and another. (wow im full of em today)

    Why are you saying its a publicity stunt? The new CD doesn’t come out for another 2 months and 11 days. They won’t get married by then! I i hope they last. I watched the movie Click last night (the adam sandler movie) and i saw Sophie, and i was like thats Benji’s fiance! lol, i just thought it was funny cause we were talking about it just a few minutes before we saw the movie, and my mom was like “What movies has she been in?” It was funny.

    One more thing. (I know, don’t kill me) If you have Verison, go to your Ringtones Deluxe and get Good Charlottes “The River” as your new ringtone.

    I got ya 3 (maila, DCMA Queen, and May. Madden) Joel did have bad relationships in the past…and well if he don’t want to end up in another bad one…why is he dating that skank Nicole? seriously…he can do better…at least be single and get over the fact that Hil dumped him, and then later they can get back together! Why don’t, joel, for once just dump Nicole, and wait for Hil? I loved them being together, and they were one of my favorite couple of all of Holly wood!
    And yeah…Maila you are right…if one has to have the spot light…the other has to have it.
    As much as i hate to say…but Nicole doesn’t deserve Joel, and Joel don’t deserve someone like her! And btw, did you know…that you can’t just have LOVE to get married…there has to be other things! Its not all LOVE. People should know that. Its common sense!

  10. DCMA Queen

    But where is it our bussiness. And i know this isn’t the best example, but its better than useing someone you don’t know (aka my cousin)

    Danny Bonaduce and Gretchen (awful name, and I apologize if that offends anyone)met and got married, all withen 7 hours. They are still married, and yes, they are having problems, but they are fixing them. So four months isn’t that bad. Maybe they both know they are right for each other, and I’m not going to argure with that.

    Maybe Benji and Sophie wre dating before we found out, maybe it was a long distance thing. We don’t know for sure how long they’ve been together, we just know it was apperent to us four months ago.

  11. goodgurllovesdcma

    Yeah we all know that, but within four months time…you can’t just find out someone is right for you! Seriously…get real!
    I see what you are saying here DCMA Queen (comment 60) but….we all are still gonna argue over it. It doesn’t matter.
    But hey its best if we don’t pay attention. Benj should be known for his Music…not his relationships.
    So i can careless if he is engaged. I comment cuz i think its stupid.

  12. DCMA Queen

    Exactly DCMA. Thank you.

  13. ayna(hilary4ever)

    hey everyone!

    i just wanna say that hilary’s album is coming out in around april and I think it could be called With Love or Play with fire but mostly With love cause she has a song calleed that and a perfume! plus

  14. goodgurllovesdcma

    well i sure hope to see hilrys new CD coming out here soon, she will be very busy when it comes to that time around relasing it. When she makes a new between the two im sure we will all know a head of time.
    And i am excited for her new prefume. I want to try it out! It probably smells really good. I haven’t gotten around to looking at the perfumes yet at the stores…but i will here soon, and maybe buy one of Hilary’s!
    Have a good one you guys!
    Love ya!

  15. DCMA Queen

    I saw Date Movie and Click, and I think she is beautiful! I’m proud of Benji. I hope they last a long time. Benji deserves someone like that. Him and Joel have had a rough life. But at least they aren’t alone. Thats why I can’t completely hate Nicole. Yes, Joel could do better, and he will, but we all know Nicole is just a rebound girl.

    But in Us Weekly, which I’m reading right now, says

    “Nicole & Joel Say ‘I Love You’”

    A source tells Hot Stuff that Richie, 25 and Madden, 27, “have exchanged their ‘I love you’s’” And now the couple of three months are taking the next big step- househunting! Dispite online reports, “Nicole hasn’t moved in with him YET… but they are looking at places,” For Madden, this means giving up the “big house he spent two years renovating,” says the insider. “He’s still very reluctant to leave.”

    So don’t! Dump the skank!

    (That last bit was mine ^.^)

  16. goodgurllovesdcma

    wow…well i did see her in Date Movie too. Im just not real fond of her. But thats my opinion.
    Yeah im happy for him too. But some people say that they may only last a year before a divorce. So…
    Does it matter??? Not really. We all have our different view points.
    But whatever, and Joel and Nicole…well i think Joel reallty doesn’t love Nicole, he maybe saying it cuz maybe he says it cuz its something she wants to hear. Lol.:p
    But hey, im letting live the lives they want! It doesn’t matter. Like some say: Celeberitie marriages never last long, unless you are really ment to be together.

  17. Madden’s GurL

    Hey guys!
    I totally agree that..Joel doesn’t love Nicole…Look in his eyes…there’s nothing but the eyes show how he loves and misses Hilary…I miss them 2gether.
    ***and BENJI, I LOVE YOU!!!
    FOR JOEL…plz awake!!!
    LOVE YOU GUYS
