Lachey finds love with beauty queen

Jessica Simpson's estranged husband Nick Lachey has found love in the arms of beauty queen Lizzie Arnold.

Just two months after splitting from Simpson, the former 98 Degrees star has been spotted romancing the former Miss Kentucky.

The couple were seen "making out" at Los Angeles club Lax earlier last month, and now friends insist they're an item.

One pal tells America's In Touch magazine: "They've been together for about a month."

Brunette Arnold, 28, was crowned Miss Kentucky in 2001.
