Confirmed: Paris Hilton and Cy Waits have sadly split up

Reported by People Magazine

“I can confirm that Paris Hilton and Cy Waits have ended their relationship,” says [Paris] Hilton’s rep Dawn Miller. “It was a joint and amicable decision. They both have respect and care for one another and ask for you to please respect their privacy.”

The couple’s relationship played out publicly, however, on Hilton’s Oxygen series The World According To Paris. In a recent episode, the two were seen arguing.

“Paris still thinks of Cy as a great influence on her life,” a friend tells PEOPLE, “but she’s just not ready for the next step in a relationship.”

The friend adds, “they definitely are still friends.”
