New York - The party's over for Paris Hilton and her Backstreet Boys beau Nick Carter.
The couple are no longer together, Hilton's publicist said on Friday.
The 23-year-old Hilton hotel heiress/reality TV star, and Carter, of the Backstreet Boys, had dated for seven months.
It was Hilton who ended the romantic relationship, said her publicist, Gina Hoffman.
"She's concentrating on her work," Hoffman said.
Carter, 24, told People magazine Friday that he feels good, despite the break up.
"This is the time of my life," he said. "I'm back in the studio ready to go on tour with the guys."
He added: "I want to be free to date other people and I got tired of all the rumours" of trouble in their relationship.
A new Backstreet Boys album is expected to be released later this year.
Hilton will begin shooting in August for her first starring film role in "Pledge This," about a college sorority. She has starred for two seasons on Fox's "The Simple Life" with her friend Nicole Richie.
