Nick Carter has spoken out about his split from girlfriend Paris Hilton, complaining the pair couldn’t trust each other.

Speaking exclusively to America’s People magazine, the 1/5 of Backstreet Boys insists the split was mutual, despite his socialite ex’s claims she called the romance off after advice from a psychic.

Nick says, “Our relationship totally was based on distrust. She didn’t trust me. I didn’t trust her. We both got on the phone, had a discussion and agreed we couldn’t do this anymore. I just want everybody to know that I’m single and ready to have fun again. I’m a wild and crazy guy.”

Meanwhile, Nick Carter insists he doesn’t regret having Paris’ name tattooed on his wrist three weeks ago because he’ll always love The Simple Life star.

He adds, “She’ll have a place in my heart, always.”
