Earlier this week Paris Hilton gushed that her boyfriend of not even three month, Benji Madden, had written a song for her called “Shine Your Light.” We had to take her word for it, though, because it’s not like Benji has said much about her despite the fact that he took her on tour with him and she’s been seen following him around like a puppy dog all over LA. Paris has talked about how much in love she is and how great Benji is, and now he’s finally revealed that it’s mutual.

In an interview on Yo on E! on Sirius Radio, Benji said that he always knew Paris was “wife material” before they hooked up. He also said that they “were in love before anyone even knew we were together,” which suggests he might have been cheating on his longterm girlfriend, model Sophie Monk, with Paris. Sophie and Benji officially announced their split in mid February, and Paris and Benji went public less than two weeks later. As for marrying fickle Paris, Benji says “nothing would make me happier”

“We were in love before anyone even knew we were together,” the Good Charlotte band member reveals to Yo on E! on Sirius Radio. “We have known each other for a long time, and I’ve always known the real Paris. I always knew that she was like…wife material or serious girlfriend material. You’re getting a lot of personal sh**t out of me, man!”

Benji continues, “You just want to get on top of a mountain and go, I’m in love! But your fans would probably make fun of you.”

So could there be wedding bells in the near future? “Nothing would make me happier,” Madden says. “Wow, alright. Ok. I’m not gonna bet against you on that. We’ll see. I’m very, very happy right now.”

Let’s give Paris and Benji the benefit of the doubt and say that they were together for maybe two months before they decided to hit all the LA hotspots together, but it’s doubtful and if that’s the case Benji would have been cheating. Even if they’ve been dating for five months that’s not enough time to start talking marriage. Once the new relationship endorphin high goes down they’ll start bugging the shit out of each other and will split shortly afterwards. I guess if they’re happy that’s all that matters. If Benji is talking like this he’s probably going to propose soon. He also spoke at length in that interview about how he loves babysitting his niece Harlow, so maybe he’s looking to start a family like his twin brother. You have to think that he could have been a much better candidate than Paris.
