LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Paris Hilton and Benji Madden have split, the celebutante's rep confirmed to Access Hollywood.

According to a source close to Paris, work - not another man -- got in the way.

"[She] still loves Benji," the source said, but "she's busy" and needed a break.

Paris has been busy with her latest reality series, MTV's "My New BFF" and has a number of other projects on tap, from a planned second album to promoting her latest fragrance, Fairy Dust.

So although reports surfaced that Paris rendezvoused with former flame Stavros Niarchos in Miami recently, the ex-factor wasn't to blame.

"There's nothing going on with Stavros," the source told Access.

Just months ago, Benji called his then-girlfriend "wife material."

"I always knew that she was, like, wife material, or serious girlfriend material," he told Yo On E! in May, hinting that an engagement could be on the way. "I'm very, very happy right now."

Reports that the two were dating surfaced in February.

    Benji Madden is the biggest %@!*#ing dork that the lower level mafia has ever been able to spit out. He and his %@!*#ing brother are the lowest forms of dirt, covering for child molesters and thieves. Benji's clothing line is pathetic, using English letters and biker ghetto style over and over again in the same repetitive cursing manner, because this %@!*# has no style. He was lucky enough

    Why do you you care who hates and likes her. She probably wouldn't like you either Mer. YOU need to get a life. Let these people express themselves. You need to take your ass to the Talaban.

    this sucks. i thought they made a good pair. i really liked him for her. it seem to keep her in tack. i always use to look at paris as a hoe (keepin it real) but once she got with benji and stayed with him. i didnt look at her like that anymore. i just looked at her as a business person trying to get paid. now i dont know. we shall see if she starts being a hoe again. i bet my dollar on it!!!

    Hmmm all of these pages have different reasons as to why they broke up, work... Benji too controlling, but noooooooooo not b/c she was seen with her ex and more than likely boinked him! It's sad they think we're so naive, but hey this new generation is!
