Paris Hilton showed up at the Loft and Garden center in NYC on Wednesday to promote her hair extensions. But she was also sporting a new ring on her left hand. When asked about the engagement style ring (click here to see a close up) Paris said “No, it’s just a present. He’s so sweet”.

Even though they aren’t going to get married sometime soon, they have talked about their future – and they only see each other in it.

“We want to stay together forever,” she said Thursday. “I wouldn’t do a Vegas [wedding]. I don’t know where or when but I do want it to be romantic.”

Paris also admits that seeing Nicole Richie with her daughter Harlow Winter has stirred up her maternal instincts and has her craving for a daughter of her own.

“Nicole is our first friend to have a baby … Seeing Harlow, it really makes me want one. I’ve always wanted to have a baby.”

She has also been enjoying spending her time with “niece” Harlow.

“I’m definitely ‘Aunt Paris.’ ” As for Benji? “He’ll babysit. I can tell he’s gonna be an incredible father. He loves babies.”

Paris also says that Benji has changed her life for the better.

“When I was younger I loved to go out, but now that I’m in a really great relationship it’s so much more fun to stay at home,” she says, “We don’t really like to go out. We have game night, friends come over and play Monopoly. It’s chill.” She also loves pampering her man with some homemade food. “I love to cook for him, I cook great lasagna.”

It’s true that we haven’t seen many pictures of Paris and Benji hitting the clubs (but that could be due to Benji’s hectic touring schedule).

When asked about the many tattoos that Benji has, Paris follows her Dad’s rules when it comes to judging people.

“My dad said you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover,” she said. “He doesn’t act at all like someone who has tattoos everywhere! I love him so much that I don’t pay attention. I don’t even look at the tattoos anymore.”
