Paris Hilton has given a clear hint that she sees a future with boyfriend Doug Reinhardt, sparking speculation that the couple could soon tie the knot.

In an interview with Life And Style magazine, the hotel heiress, who has been dating the former Hills star for over a year now, said that she thinks they have a "very bright and happy future".

"I wouldn''t rule out a wedding in 2010," the Mirror quoted the 28-year-old as saying.

Paris said that her baseball player beau has taught her "how real love can feel".

"Doug's taught me how to grow up and become more domestic, as in not going out as much as I used to," she added.

While Doug, 25, hasn’t yet presented Paris with an engagement ring, he did splash out on diamonds at Christmas.

“So happy! He really spoiled me this year and gave me so many incredible presents! All the jewelery he bought me from 14 Karats Jewelery Store is so stunning! It's true diamonds are a girl's best friend. I am speechless,” wrote Paris on her Twitter page.
