"I'm not gonna bet against you on that. We'll see. I'm very, very happy right now."

In another reveal he also said he'd "always known the real Paris".

He said: "I always knew that she was, like, wife material, or serious girlfriend material."

Nattering about his brother Joel and Nicole Richie, Benji said: "They're madly in love, I can tell you that.

"They're like the picture-perfect couple, and they're amazing parents."
