paris hiltonParis Hilton’s mum has urged her daughter to stay single for the time being after her split from Benji Madden late last year.

Paris and Benji began dating a year ago and frequently spoke about marriage and having children together before splitting up in November. Paris is now said to be seeing The Hills star Doug Reinhardt - but her mum Kathy Hilton would rather she take some downtime before jumping into another relationship.

Kathy told Fox News: “My dating advice for Paris would be just to take your time.

“It is okay to be alone; you don’t have to always be with someone.”
