Paris Hilton has reportedly dumped her boyfriend Doug Reinhardt through her publicist.
The hotel heiress started dating "The Hills" star last year, and has publicly declared her love for him on several occasions, even branding him her "future husband."
But Hilton made it clear the romance is over on Wednesday, announcing through her representative that she is no longer in a relationship with Reinhardt.
The spokesperson told People.com, "In response to the enquiry on whether Paris Hilton has split up with Doug Reinhardt, yes, this is true they are no longer together. They remain friends and ask that you please respect their privacy."
However, despite the public confirmation of a split, it looks as though Hilton forget to tell the most important person -- her boyfriend.
When quizzed about the break-up by E! Online, Reinhardt replied, "No, that's not true. Everything is OK between us."

Rihanna has been subpoenaed to testify in the assault case against ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.
The R&B; singer's attorney has confirmed his client has been served and will face her former lover in court later this month.
Donald Etra tells " Entertainment Tonight" that the 21 year old was served on Tuesday in Los Angeles.
Etra says, "She'll appear at the preliminary hearing if it does go forward ... and (she) will answer all questions posed to her by the District Attorney and Mark Geragos, Chris Brown's lawyer."
In April, Brown, 20, pleaded not guilty to one count of assault and one count of making criminal threats related to an alleged domestic violence incident involving Rihanna in February.
On Wednesday, Geragos asked a California appeals court to stall Brown's preliminary hearing to allow him more time to prepare, but the trial judge shut him down.

Troubled rocker Pete Doherty has been arrested on suspicion of drunk driving and drug possession after a concert in the U.K.
The Babyshambles frontman played a solo show in Gloucester, south west England, on Wednesday night and was held by cops 30 minutes after the gig.
Officers swooped when they saw a car being driven "erratically" through the town. Doherty was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving, possession of drugs, and failing to stop.
A spokesman for Gloucestershire Police says, "At approximately 12:30 a.m. officers on patrol in Eastgate Street saw a car being driven erratically. It continued down Barton Street and was stopped in Derby Road.
"A 30-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving, possession of drugs and failure to stop for police. He remains in custody at this time."
Later on Thursday, the star's home in Wiltshire, England, was raided by authorities. A spokesman for Wiltshire Police refused to give details on what officers were searching for, or if anything was found.
The police representative adds: "We did ask Wiltshire Police to search an address in the Marlborough area in connection with a drugs arrest which took place in Gloucestershire."
Doherty is scheduled to play a show in Derby, England on Thursday evening. Organizers are unsure if the gig will go ahead as Doherty was still in custody as WENN went to press.

R&B; star Usher and his wife are reportedly planning to divorce after almost two years of marriage.
Usher and stylist Tameka Foster have been living apart for the past year, according In Touch.
Divorce papers were filed in Atlanta on Thursday morning.
The shocking news comes just four months after Foster suffered cardiac arrest during cosmetic surgery in Brazil.
At the time, Usher, who flew to be by her side, insisted he had no idea his wife was there for the procedure.
A source close to the couple says, "Usher's primary concern is for his children. He is a great father and just wants to do what is right for them."
The couple has two kids together, Usher Raymond V, 18 months, and Naviyd, six months.
Grant Hits Out At Paparazzo
Hugh Grant has been involved in another messy clash with the press -- the actor lashed out at a photographer during a night out in New York.
The British star was on his way to a restaurant in the Big Apple on Wednesday when he took offense to a huddle of snappers outside the venue.
As he made his way towards his next nightspot, the star was caught on camera warning the photographers to "back off."
And the actor was unhappy at their persistence -- reportedly kicking one paparazzo in the groin, reports TMZ.com.
The unlucky snapper is heard shouting, "That wasn't cool. What the [bleep] is your problem? I was trying to be a nice guy. I was trying to help you find a cab."
It isn't the first time Grant has found himself in a sticky situation with photographers. He allegedly threw a carton of baked beans over one London snapper in 2007.
Aniston Slams Tabloid Over Rumored Pitt Rendezvous
Jennifer Aniston has slammed tabloid reports she enjoyed a secret rendezvous with her ex-husband Brad Pitt.
The former couple, which split in 2005, reportedly reunited recently in an "intimate 1 a.m. rendezvous" at New York City's Gramercy Park Hotel, following their rumored reconciliation in April, according to Star.
The reports fueled break-up rumors between Pitt and partner Angelina Jolie.
Pitt has denied the rumors, and now Aniston's spokesperson has stepped in to blast the allegations, calling the story a "complete fabrication." And a spokesperson for the hotel has also defended the star, insisting the reports are "not true."

Convicted murderer Phil Spector has been forced to relinquish his wigs and go bald after corrections officers deemed his hair pieces were not essential to his health.
The legendary music producer, 69, was convicted in April of killing actress Lana Clarkson in 2003 and was sentenced to 19 years to life last month.
Spector, known for his elaborate hairstyles over the years, was forced to forgo his wig last Friday when he was snapped for a new mugshot and is shown bald with strands of stringy hair on the sides.
Prison regulations forbid wigs and hairpieces unless they are deemed medically necessary.
And Spector has turned to religion to help him adjust to life behind bars -- his publicist Hal Lifson says the producer is wearing a Jewish yarmulke in his cell and is conferring regularly with a prison rabbi.
He is being processed and evaluated at the North Kern State Prison in Delano, Calif., before being sent to another jail where he will serve his sentence.
Pinto Admits She's Dating Patel
Freida Pinto has declared her love for her "Slumdog Millionaire" co-star Dev Patel after previously shooting down rumors of a real-life romance.
The pair played childhood sweethearts in the Oscar-winning movie, and their close friendship away from the cameras prompted rumors of a relationship.
They initially laughed off speculation their on-screen chemistry had developed behind closed doors, but now Pinto, 24, is happy to talk about boyfriend Patel, who she calls "a lovely boy."
According to Britain's The Sun newspaper, she says, "The friendship blossomed after the film, it got even stronger. This is all new to us."

Miley Cyrus is devastated her relationship with Justin Gaston is over -- she has been in tears since they broke up.
Cyrus sparked reports she'd split from the model after posting a cryptic message on her Twitter.com blog last week, which read: "My heart is in two ... and it's all because of you".
And the teen actress, who previously dated singer Nick Jonas, is struggling to come to terms with the break-up.
She revealed her heartache in a series of postings on the social networking website on Wednesday, writing: "Tears are words the heart can't express... How many tears are in there? They've gotta run out soon right?... Why does saying good bye hurt so much?"
But she isn't the only one devastated by the split -- Gaston referred to it on his own Twitter blog, writing: "Haven't been this miserable in a looong time."
Cyrus has since jetted off to Georgia to shoot new movie "The Last Song."
Moakler Relieved After Prejean Loses Miss California Crown
Former beauty queen-turned-reality TV star Shanna Moakler's faith has been restored in America's top beauty pageant organization following the firing of Miss California Carrie Prejean.
National pageant boss Donald Trump and Miss California director Keith Lewis stripped Prejean of her title on Wednesday after the beauty queen violated her contractual obligations by failing to make public appearances.
Moakler resigned as a director of the Miss USA California pageant last month, a day after Trump allowed Prejean to keep her title, despite her involvement in a topless photo scandal.
The former wife of rocker Travis Barker publicly supported Prejean after the provocative pictures leaked, but quit over concerns she was ignoring her duties to state pageant bosses in the wake of her headline-making exploits.
And now that Trump has recognized that Prejean wasn't honoring her contract, Moakler feels vindicated for her decision to part ways with the organization.
She tells Usmagazine.com, "First and foremost, my faith has been restored in the Miss Universe Organization and with Donald Trump.
"I believed eventually what I intimately knew would come to fruition."
And Moakler says she is now considering taking up her position once again: "Now that Carrie has been terminated from her position as Miss California, I would consider resuming my role and responsibilities with the pageant. It was hard for me to step down, but I felt what was happening was wrong and against what I felt was a proper guideline for our youth to follow."

Actor Shia LaBeouf chats with actress Megan Fox during the world premiere of their latest film "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" in Tokyo, Monday, June 8, 2009.
"Transformers" star Shia LaBeouf is convinced talent means nothing in Hollywood, and success is all about luck, motivation and ambition.
The actor admits he has no idea what makes him an in-demand movie superstar, but he doesn't spend too much time thinking about it.
He tells Parade magazine, "Actors live dependent on being validated by other people's opinions. I don't understand what it is I do that people want. I don't know what an actor does. I have no credentials. I don't know what I'm doing.
"To my mind, talent doesn't really exist. Talent is like a card player's luck. It is motivation, ambition, and luck. It's just a drive to be the best. I think acting is a con game."
And he urges Hollywood wannabes to think twice before signing up for movie game: "The good actors are all screwed up. They're all in pain. It's a profession of bottom-feeders and heartbroken people."
