Paris Hilton may be an heiress, but she’s endured her share of hardships throughout her years in the public eye.
The daughter of hospitality mogul Richard Hilton and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kathy Hilton, the businesswoman is known in the public eye for her reality TV past. However, she offered a deeper look into her life when releasing the This Is Paris documentary in September 2020.
Paris has also explained that she’s more than just her public persona — “a dumb blonde with a sweet but easy edge.” She referred to this mask as her “steel-plated armor,” during a February 2023 interview with Harper’s Bazaar.
“I made sure I never had a quiet moment to figure out who I was without her,” Paris shared. “I was afraid of that moment because I didn’t know what I’d find.”
Paris has also found love in the public eye. She married Carter Reum in November 2021. The duo got engaged the previous February after more than a year of dating. The couple welcomed their son, Phoenix, via surrogate in January 2023 and a daughter, London, via surrogate in April 2024.
