Paris Hilton and Benji Madden may have broken up, but they’re still close friends, she said Friday.

“You know, I love him. He’s such an amazing man and he’s my best friend and he’s been so great to me and so loyal,” Hilton said Friday on Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS F.M. radio show.

“He’s an incredible person. We’ll always be very close. We’ll see what happens in the future. I’m still in love with him.”

Asked what happened, Hilton cited busy work schedules and lots of travel as the reason behind their split.

“We’re both working so much. There are all these reports saying that I dumped Benji. That’s not true. This was a decision we made together as two adults.”

Still, Hilton emphasizes that the door hasn’t completely shut on their romantic relationship. “Right now we are just taking a break,” she says. “We are really good friends. We’re really close.”

Shooting down questions of infidelity, she says neither of them cheated, and her recent meeting with ex-boyfriend Stavros Niarchos was nothing more than a chance encounter and a “quick conversation” between friends.

As for Madden, she says, “He’s doing great. We talk every day. We see each other.”

Lies, all lies!! Benji is just being a nice guy and trying to help Paris Hilton save face, with the two fans she has left.
