Benji Madden and Sophie Monk spent some time in Vegas last weekend. To recap, Benji Madden is Nicole Richie’s Baby Daddy’s brother, and Sophie Monk is a hot actress from Australia (and Benji’s main squeeze). Are the two just comfortable with each other, or does he have a wandering eye? Reports indicated the two barely spent any time together in the Bellaggio nighclub as Benji wandered around posing for pics and Sophie danced by herself. Once again, only time will tell.

Sophie Monk and Benji Madden have been engaged for the past year, but now there are reports the couple have split up. Reports say Monk returned to Australia without Madden, and Monk was seen jogging alone through a Rushcutters Bay park in Sydney. Did Madden ever jog with her? He doesn’t look like a jogger.
