Tragedy seems to have brought together two individuals who have suffered deeply.

n a match made in tabloid heaven, the father of murdered child beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey and the mother of missing-in-Aruba teen Natalee Holloway are dating, FOX News has confirmed.

John Ramsey, 63, and Beth Holloway Twitty, 46, have been romantically involved since January 2007, though the two met at a fundraiser last summer.

The couple has been spotted openly holding hands and kissing in Mountain Brook, Ala. — where Twitty lives — and at an art show at a nearby art museum. They've also been seen at various restaurants.

Ramsey's wife and JonBenet's mother, Patsy Ramsey, died last June of ovarian cancer at the age of 49. Twitty was officially divorced from George "Jug" Twitty in December.

Both single parents share the tragedy of children who are victims of unsolved crimes.

At first blush, there is something that strikes me as unseemly about the relationship -- but in truth, there really isn't. Indeed, one can only hope tat these two people, united by the pain of losing daughters in horrific ways, might find some comfort in their companionship and love.

And may the news media and tabloids have the decency to leave them in peace.
