PARIS HILTON AND DOUG REINHARDT SPLIT CONFIRMED

Paris Hilton's representative has confirmed reports she has split from her boyfriend Doug Reinhardt - just days after the hotel heiress dismissed the story.

The couple broke up "weeks ago", according to the rep.

The couple broke up last summer (09) but later reconciled. In February (10), the pair was rumoured to be engaged.
