Nikki Sixx up-date

Denise Richards has confirmed she's dating Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx, but insists they're taking the new romance "very slowly".
She adds, "If anything's gonna develop, you want it to develop on its own. That's the god's honest truth, we're taking it very slowly."

The duo braved the rain and the paparazzi in Burbank, CA last night -- as they were spotted out together for the first time since those dating rumors surfaced.

Richards has two children with her ex-husband Charlie Sheen and has previously dated Bon Jovi star Richie Sambora.
