Although they claim that they’re not engaged, Paris Hilton and Benji Madden certainly aren’t doing much to help quell the betrothal rumors.

The “Simple Life” hottie and her rockstar boyfriend were spotted making their way through the terminal at LAX International Airport yesterday, holding hands and looking lovey-dovey.

And, of course, Paris was sporting her new ring on her left hand engagement finger. But they both insist that it’s just a symbol of love, not engagement.

Paris told press, “It’s just a present. He’s sweet.” But later she added fuel to the fire that engagement may not be far off. “I’m so happy. I’m so in love… I want to spend the rest of my life with him.”
