Paris Hilton and Greek shipping heir call off engagement (AP) Updated: 2005-10-01 14:49
LOS ANGELES (AP) _ Paris Hilton will not be adding "shipping heiress" to her
resume.
 Paris Hilton arrives to promote her new
perfume called 'Paris Hilton' in a mall in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on Thursday,
Sept. 15, 2005. [Reuters] | The celebutante-turned-model has ended her five-month engagement to
Greek shipping heir Paris Latsis, Us Weekly reported Friday on its Web site,
quoting a statement it said Hilton released to the magazine.
"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," Hilton told the magazine.
Hilton's publicist did not immediately return a call from The Associated
Press.
Hilton, 24 and Latsis, 22, became engaged in the spring.
"I'm so in love and grateful to have found such an honest and loyal person,"
she told Us Weekly at the time. "I feel like we were meant to be, and I'm happy
to have found someone to spend the rest of my life with. He's amazing in every
way."
Latsis gave the 24-year-old hotel heiress a 24 carat, $5 million diamond
engagement ring. It was not immediately clear what would happen to the ring.
