Benji Madden says his relationship with Paris Hilton is the real deal.

"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."

"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."
