Paris Hilton and husband Carter Reum are happy in love.
The couple kicked off their whirlwind romance in November 2019 after Hilton called off her engagement to Chris Zylka one year prior.
“I’m so happy,” she told Us Weekly in February 2020. “This is the best time of my life right now.”
Hilton was immediately smitten by Reum, and he was quick to win over the entire family. When in February 2021, she celebrated by sharing a sweet dedication to her fiancé.
“When you find your soulmate, you don’t just know it. You feel it,” she wrote via Instagram. “I said yes, yes to forever. There’s no one I’d rather spend forever with.”
Shortly before the proposal, Hilton spoke candidly about wanting to start a family someday.
“I believe having a family and having children is the meaning of life,” she shared on an episode of the “Trend Reporter With Mara” podcast January 2021. “I haven’t got to experience that yet because I don’t feel that anyone really deserved that love from me and now, I’ve finally found the person who does, so I cannot wait for that next step.”
The couple officially tied the knot in November 2021 and have since expanded their family. Hilton and Reum announced the birth of their son, Phoenix, in January 2023 and the birth of a daughter, London, in November 2023.

The Paris in Love star revealed that she privately considered herself asexual before meeting her husband.
“I was known as a sex symbol, but anything sexual terrified me,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “I called myself the ‘kissing bandit’ because I only liked to make out. A lot of my relationships didn’t work out because of that.”
After meeting Reum, however, she realized she is “not that way,” telling the outlet, “I enjoy hooking up with my husband.”
When asked what first drew her to the entrepreneur, Hilton had no shortage of favorite qualities.
“He’s not famous. He’s smart. He comes from a nice family. He’s a good person. It was the opposite of what I had been used to when I was looking for guys,” she said at the time. “I just feel like after all the hell I’ve been through, I’m finally getting what I deserve. Which is someone I can trust and someone to build a real life with.”
