On Wednesday, Hilton's rep confirmed to Usmagazine.com exclusively that the pair had split after nine months of dating. The heiress has nothing bad to say about Madden, 29. "He's such an amazing man," she told Seacrest. "He's my best friend. He's been so great to me, so loyal. He is an incredible person, and we will always be really close. We'll see what happens in the future. "I'm still in love with him," she added. The reason for the break? "We're both working so much. I've been traveling, he's been working nonstop in the studio with his brother on their new record," she said. Hilton calls reports that she hooked up with her ex Stavros Niarchos -- whom she was spotted partying with over the weekend -- "ridiculous. "Someone must have gotten a quick camera phone picture of me just smiling and saying hello to someone I haven't seen in a year," she said. See photos of Hollywood's hottest heartbreakers. She also discounted Madden's supposed controlling behavior, saying that she's "never been treated so well" in her life. "He's just very protective as any man would be who's in love," Hilton said. "He wants me to make the right choices. Anyone who's spreading rumors like that is just someone who I probably got out of my life. Since I've been with him, I've really separated myself from a lot of the places I used to go and people I know." The split was mutual, she added. "There's all these reports saying that I dumped Benji," she explained. "That's not true. This is a decision we made together as two adults. Hilton says their split won't affect her relationship with BFF Nicole Richie, who dates Madden's brother, Joel. "Nicole and I don't get into each other's relationships," she says. "We have a friendship that has been going on since we were two years old. Nothing would ever affect that." Take a look back at Paris' support system. In the meantime, don't expect Hilton back on the singles scene. "I obviously still have feelings for Benji and will always love him," she says. "I don’t want to date anyone. The thought of that just grosses me out." Join Us on Facebook and Twitter for even more up to the minute celebrity news and photos!
