Socialite actress Paris Hilton has just given Us Weekly an exclusive that she has ended her five-month engagment to Greek shipping heir Paris Latsis.
In a statement to Us late Friday evening, Hilton said, "I'm sad to announce that I've called off my engagement. Over the last couple months I've realized that this is the right decision for me. We remain best of friends, and I'll always love him. I hope people will respect my privacy during this emotional time."
Rumors of their breakup surfaced in the last several weeks after Hilton, who had received a 24-carat, $5 million diamond engagement ring from Latsis, was rarely seen in public with her fiance.
"They really broke up a month ago," says a friend of the couple. "They are just very different people. But Paris hoped things would get better. They didn't so she decided it was best to move on."
, Last week, Radaronline reported that the engagement existed only in tabloids and were told by a source, "Paris is trying to save her image, denying the truth, but in reality, Latsis dumped her on orders from his family, specifically his mother."
For the past two months, the "Simple Life" star has been seen quite often with her album's producer, Scott Storch.
