Paris Hilton and Cy Waits split

Paris Hilton and her boyfriend Cy Waits have split, according to U.S. reports.

The socialite has been dating the Las Vegas club boss for just over a year.

A source tells UsMagazine.com, "They are broken up. It's sad. She cares about him a lot and thinks he's a great guy but they really hit a rough patch."

That 'rough patch' features in Hilton's new reality TV show The World According to Paris - the hotel heiress is seen lashing out at her boyfriend in a club.

During their romance, Hilton was arrested for cocaine possession during a night out in Las Vegas with her beau, Waits fought off an intruder at her Hollywood home, and, in April, the club boss was attacked outside court in Los Angeles when he arrived to support his girlfriend as she testified against the man who broke into her home.

Hilton's publicist had not responded to requests for a statement.

Paris Hilton and Cy Waits 're-evaluating' romance

The hotel heiress and the nightclub entrepreneur are considering whether to stay together after a year or dating because Cy is finding it hard to cope with life as the boyfriend of a globally famous star.

A source told E! Online: "Paris loves and respects Cy very much. He has been through a lot with her. But sometimes it's hard on the relationship because he's not used to this lifestyle, the media and being on a show."

Cy is particularly upset at how much of his and Paris' private life together has been aired on her reality TV show 'The World According to Paris'.

Another source said: "Cy is very upset with the series. He felt that way too much of their private life was shown. When he signed on to do the show, he had no idea the cameras would be so invasive."

Cy - who is the co-owner of Las Vegas nightclubs Tryst and XS, which are located in the Wynn and Encore at Wynn hotels respectively - is also adamant he doesn't want his daughter to get embroiled in the socialite's showbiz lifestyle because he wants her to "lead a normal life".

Despite their problems, the pair have not yet split up but are deciding what the next step in their relationship should be and they both "love each other very much".

Paris is currently in Chicago on a business trip, while Cy is in Las Vegas.

Lady Gaga: `I`ll have babies one day`

Lady Gaga has revealed that she hopes to be a mummy one day.

The 25-year-old singer, who is rumoured to have broken up with long-term boyfriend Luc Carl, said that for now her career comes first, but she does want to have a family sometime in the future.

Talking to the Y100 Miami radio station, she said, 'I think at some point, yeah, I'll have a family and babies and all those things, but not right now.

'Not for a while... Right now I have lots of fans. I'm giving birth to lots of little monsters, so I need to keep down the stretch marks.'

And she also revealed that she would be open to venturing into the world of movies.

'I think if anything I might do something directorial first,' she said. 'I'm really just a musician and a pop singer and I just want to keep making records. Right now I'm just really excited about the new tour.'

Paris Hilton Reveals the Biggest Misconceptions About Her

What’s the world like according to Paris Hilton? Pretty fabulous. Paris celebrated the launch of her new Oxygen reality show ‘The World According to Paris’ last night in Hollywood and tons of stars came out to support the heiress.

“My world is fun and exciting,” Paris said. “You never know what’s going to happen. We really live life to the fullest. I have amazing friends around me, an incredible boyfriend, and my family’s the best.”

Paris’ beau Cy Waits is a big part of the show, and seeing how affectionate they are together, we couldn’t help but wonder if marriage and kids are on Paris’ busy agenda.

She revealed, “We are so happy. It’s almost been a year and a half now so we’ll see what happens, but the show is going to show everything, so when that happens it will be on the show.”

Paris admits that her parents Rick and Kathy set a great example for her to follow when she does decide to tie the knot.

“I really look up to my parents relationship. I think its so special how in love they are and how they’ve been together since my mom was 15,” she said. “When I look for a man, I look for someone like my Dad. Someone who is loyal and a good man. I find that with Cy. He really makes me feel so safe and my family loves him so much. It’s a great feeling.”

So how will this show be different than say, The Simple Life? Paris admits she’s grown up since her days on the road with Nicole Richie, and she was just playing a role on the show.

“From watching me on the Simple Life for so long, people assume that’s who I am in real life, but that was just a fun character that I made up. I’m a tomboy at heart. I love to go fishing. I love to relax and do sports. I think people are so used to seeing me on the red carpet and at parties they don’t really know that side of me yet.”

With a new show, a relationship and promoting her million products, you would think Paris’ plate would be full, but that’s not the case yet. Next on her list? Recording another album.

“I’m still working on my album. I’ve changed the direction of it to house music so I’m redoing a lot of songs right now.”

The World According to Paris will debut on the Oxygen network on June 1st.
