Devise: Nested sign up form when the user and profile are separate models

I'm and usings devise for my authentication and would like to keep the details of my users in a separate model called profile. Profile contains information like first and last name. I want to be able to have a single sign up form that will be able to have all this information entered.

This is my form

<%= form_for(resource, :as => resource_name, :url => registration_path(resource_name)) do |f| %>
  <%= render 'shared/error_messages' %>

        <% fields_for :profile do |fa| %>
            <%= fa.label :first_name %>
            <%= fa.text_field :first_name %>

            <%= fa.label :last_name %>
            <%= fa.text_field :last_name %>
        <% end %>

        <div><%= f.label :email %><br />
        <%= f.email_field :email %></div>

        <div><%= f.label :password %><br />
        <%= f.password_field :password %></div>

        <div><%= f.label :password_confirmation %><br />
        <%= f.password_field :password_confirmation %></div>

        <div><%= f.submit "Sign up" %></div>
    <% end %>

This in my user.rb model

has_one :profile
accepts_nested_attributes_for :profile

When I submit the from it doesn't save the first and last name to the database

After much searching around, this was the simplest answer to my question. Although I'm not sure this the rails way of doing things

Profile model for Devise users?
