Paris Hilton feels like a grown-up now—thanks to her current romance with rock star Benji Madden—reports People magazine.

“I think my whole life I was kind of living as a teenager and not really taking responsibility,” said Hilton in a statement to the magazine. “Now I realize that I’m an adult and I’m running a huge company and I’m in love. I’m in a great relationship. I have my family. I’m just excited for life.”

But does Hilton feel grown up enough to get married?

“I don’t know,” she says. “We’re so in love and so happy right now and it’s only been like six months. So we’ll see what happens, but we’re so in love and so happy and things have never been better. I finally have a nice guy.”

In the meantime, the couple is making music together in the studio. “We just wrote together,” Hilton said. “I had a whole recording studio in my house and so we’ve been working there every night. We wrote together on two songs for my “Best Friends” show.”

Rumours that Paris Hilton was pregnant began flying when the socialite was spotted out with boyfriend Benji Madden sporting what onlookers described as a “baby bump.”

The couple had arrived to Crown Bar in Los Angeles when bystanders caught a glimpse of Hilton’s apparent swollen stomach.

“Paris definitely looked a lot bigger than she usually looks,” said an onlooker. “She is either pregnant or had eaten a massive meal!”
Hilton’s rep, however, denies the reports and claims the rumours are “false.”

Earlier this year, Hilton expressed her desire to get pregnant soon: “I do want a baby, pretty soon. Not yet because I’m so busy, but next year.”
