Paris Hilton reportedly split with Doug Reinhardt as she was worried he was just using her to help his career.

The hotel heiress was forced to reassess her 14-month relationship with the former 'Hills' star after it was revealed he was to become a producer on a reality TV show for his sister and wanted Paris to take part.

According to website RadarOnline.com, a source said: "Paris never had any plans to participate in the reality show, but Doug was pressuring her to be a part of it, and she flatly refused. Without her involvement, it's a no-go."

Paris, 29, was seen partying in Las Vegas last weekend and Doug was reportedly planning to fly out to see her on his way back from a family holiday to Aspen, but decided not to at the last minute.

A source said: "He was in Aspen with his dad this weekend and was considering stopping by Vegas on the drive back, but changed his mind.

"I'm pretty sure that's why he went to Aspen... to hide out and try to get over her."

Paris was spending time with her parents, Kathy and Richard, and even went partying in Vegas with them at nightclub and restaurant Tao.

Earlier this year, the couple spent a week with his mother Kelly and stepfather Duane Roberts at a luxury villa on the Caribbean island of Anguilla, where the former 'Hills' star's family were referring to Paris as "daughter-in-law".
