Nicole, 33, and Joel, 36, put on a sweet display on affection as they were spotted soaking up the delights of Disneyland in California.

Take the day off in distressed denim cutt-offs like Nicole
Nicole Richie can be elegantly designer-clad one minute and totally laidback the next. And that's why we can relate to her. The down-to-earth reality star was snapped at Disneyland wearing a concert tee from The Who, a black pair of Converse All Stars, a pair of aviator shades and a pair of black denim cut-off shorts.
This summer, it seems every female celeb has been wearing denim cut-offs by One Teaspoon and here Richie, too, joined the club. Hers are the Fox Black Bandits shorts and if you have to have them right now, you can. Click right to buy them at Swell.
But here's the thing about fashion. There are certain things you just don't have to spend a lot of money on. Who will know the difference? Black denim cut-offs are one of those things.
So check out the many destroyed black denim cut-off options we uncovered below for a lot less change. We love the shorts from Volcom at Zappos and are diggin' the bargain buys at Forever 21 and H&M.
The ripped short shorts rested high on Nicole's thighs meaning the full length of her slim pins were on full display as she sauntered around the expansive park with her arm around the bearded musician.
She teamed them with a branded black vest top which was emblazoned with The Who's iconic logo.
A pair of navy Converse trainers were a sensible choice given the size of the popular theme park.

The pair - who were embroiled in divorce speculation earlier in the year - appeared content in each other's company and seemingly made a mutual decision to leave their wedding rings at home, presumably for fear of losing them.

They were thought to be 'on the brink of a divorce' in May, according to InTouch magazine.

'The last thing she wants is a public split with the children involved,' the insider went on to claim, 'but she’s desperately unhappy,' they added.
Four months on and Nicole and Joel's marriage appeared to be stronger than ever during their latest outing.
