Square root of Paris

There is still hope. Reports US Weekly:

NEW YORK, September 30, 2005; 7:40ET — Paris Hilton tells Us Weekly exclusively that she has ended her five-month engagment to Greek shippping 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.”

The couple had met each other as teenagers at a nightclub in Monaco. Then Hilton, 24, and Latsis, 22, became romantic last December soon after reuniting at Latsis' birthday party in Los Angeles. Latsis proposed to Hilton in April at his Hollywood Hills mansion. “I'm so in love and grateful to have found such an honest and loyal person” Hilton told Us at the 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 camera-shy 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.”
