Paris Hilton's new boyfriend Josh Henderson says Ashlee Simpson was his first love.

The 'Desperate Housewives' actor - who began dating the hotel heiress last month - had a two-year relationship with Ashlee and only split from her because he didn't want to appear in her reality TV series, 'The Ashlee Simpson Show'.

Josh told New magazine: "She was my first love. We talked about the future and marriage and stuff. Back then it was like there was nothing but us. We thought we'd be together forever. Finishing with Ashlee was one of the hardest decisions ever. I was heartbroken but she'd just got her new programme and I knew I didn't want a relationship on TV."

And Paris, 26, had better watch out as the 25-year-old hunk hasn't ruled out reuniting with Ashlee, 22.

He said: "I still care about her loads and I'd never say never. She's always been a very special person to me. We're still friends. We meet for dinner now and again."
