Paris Hilton, Benji Madden Each Flying Solo
Yesterday we first learned from a couple of sources that the fairytale romance betwixt Paris Hilton and Benji Madden was over and today People (as well as US Weekly) magazine is also reporting the same news. Altho neither rep for Paris or Benji offered official comment, People is citing a “source close to Hilton” with their report that the couple have truly called it quits. Here are a few pics of both Benji (at Bardot nightclub) and Paris (at Crown Bar) out and about in SoCal last night … alone:
Paris Hilton and Benji Madden’s romance is over. The pair split a few days ago after more than nine months of dating, a source close to Hilton tells PEOPLE. “She is saddened by the breakup but they’re just too different and they wanted different things in life,” says a source close to Hilton. “He was loyal and sweet but it was time to take a break.” Reps for both Hilton and Madden could not be reached for comment. On Nov. 15, Paris was photographed getting cozy with ex-boyfriend Stavros Niarchos at nightspot Mokai in Miami. The Hilton friend says the two were simply engaged in a close but friendly conversation. “In no way are they romantic, nor do they want to get back together,” the source says. And on Tuesday night, Hilton and Madden partied separately in L.A. – Hilton danced on top of a couch at Apple Lounge, while Madden was spotted at hotspot Coco de Ville with Nicole Richie, who dates his twin brother Joel Madden.
Honestly, I never really saw these two together … when I first heard the news that they were dating, I immediately discounted the report as rumor and conjecture. When it became obvs that the couple were actually dating, well, I didn’t really have much to say about it. The couple did stay together longer than I thought that they would but I had a feeling they wouldn’t be able to make it last (it is a bit curious that the couple started dating right before her MTV show started filming and are breaking up right as it is about to end). Benji is an amazing guy … seriously, one of the downest people I’ve ever had the fortune to know. I hope that he will be able to find true love for reals … and I have *no doubt* that Paris will be able to find a new love interest without any difficulty. Do y’all think this is a good thing?

Know what’s funny? I never really saw these two together either, but they spoke of each other so highly and in a way that seemed very sincere, that I really thought they were gonna stick it out for the long-haul. Ah well, easy come easy go!

Hey Trent, if you ever run in to Benji again, give him my number. I am a nice down to earth girl. I hope Benji hasn’t been hurt by this. He really does seem so normal

Aw Paris actually looks a little sad. :(
November 20th, 2008 at 8:10 am
Yeah….they never really seemed right for each other. Benji seems like an average joe that wants a more low key existence.

YayAyayyz What a hottie. Now I can date him.

as a GC fan for 7 years, I never really figured these two would last. She’s old money, he’s new money. He’s “poor boy”, she’s “rich girl” and the way their lifestyles are were just really too different from each other. It’s a shame it took them 9 effing months to see what the GC fans had seen from the get-go.

LOL at the idea of Paris Hilton being “old money”. She is as gauche and nouveau as it gets.

I thought of them being together as so fairy-tale-ish…that there had to be some real love going on because of how little they appear to have in common. “opposites attract” and all, but Im not surprised they’re apart now.

I was quite surprised when these two started dating, especially after Benji had just ended a relationship with a woman he had proposed to…but I found myself pulling for them after seeing how Paris’ behavior changed in the course of their relationship. She really seemed to be at her best with Benji - not partying as much, not getting into trouble, and she spoke so highly of him that I thought it was rather sweet. I wish them both the best and I hope Paris eventually finds someone she can settle down with for real and make a lasting, loving relationship much like Nicole and Joel have with Harlow.
November 20th, 2008 at 10:20 am
I want them to reconcile and have make cousins for Harlow!!
November 20th, 2008 at 10:40 am
HAHA I KNEW IT WOULDNT LAST! SHE ONLY WANTED HIM CUZ NICOLE HAS JOEL! LOL

Good for Benj, I too hope he finds someone great eventually. He is a sweetheart and deserves it.
November 20th, 2008 at 12:26 pm
Benji is so much better than Paris. I cringed when I heard they were dating. This is great news. I hope he finds a sweet, laid back, INTELLIGENT woman to love soon.

Aww he had such a good influence on her, but yes, she needs to find someone more suited to her lifestyle!

They seemed really happy together, but I’m guessing they’re morally and ethically programmed differently.

Obviously I don’t know her - or him for that matter - but from what I’ve seen of both I think Benji can do better.

Paris gives Benji a bigger PR boost than visa versa, therefore time for break up
