Carter Reum is enjoying the simple life with Paris Hilton.
The venture capitalist strongly denied reports that his four-year marriage to the star of Simple Life—and their two children, Phoenix, 3, and London, 2—has been causing him emotional distress. He insists the claims are false, and the real story is…
Carter Reum responded to a video from the 2024 Grammys showing Paris Hilton turning away from his kiss by saying they’re incredibly happy together. He explained that while people have been offering their opinions on the moment, he simply likes to kiss his wife, and she prefers to keep her makeup perfect for photos on the red carpet.
He added, “It’s not that deep everyone, and yes she loves me to death.”
Paris has openly expressed her strong feelings for Carter, whom she initially met in her twenties and later reconnected with at a Thanksgiving dinner in 2019. They became engaged in February 2021 and were married that November.
For the past twenty years, my life has been very public, and I’ve always been searching for the right person to share it with,” Paris wrote in a 2021 blog post after her wedding. “I wanted someone who connected with me, not the ‘Paris Hilton’ persona, and loved me for who I truly am.”
She shared how happy she is with her relationship with Carter, saying it feels like a dream come true and that she’s thrilled for what the future holds. “He makes everything feel like a fairy tale,” she added.

Their connection has also supported the “Stars Are Blind” singer in healing from difficult experiences in her childhood, which previously caused her to struggle with trust as an adult.
Paris explained that she used to be very guarded and didn’t easily trust people, especially after past relationships with Chris Zylka, Benji Madden, Nick Carter, Stavros Niarchos, and Rick Salomon. In a 2021 interview on The Tamron Hall Show, she even described Nick Carter as “the man of my dreams.”
She added, “I’m just happy I found the perfect partner.”
For a closer look at Paris and Carter’s love story, read on.

In 2019, the well-known socialite celebrated her first Christmas with her new partner by visiting his hometown in Michigan.

From the start, Paris said she saw something special in Carter.
She’s incredibly happy to have met her soulmate at just the right moment. She describes him as everything she’s ever wanted – loyal, kind, romantic, and handsome – and says he’s thoughtful, caring, and brilliant, truly perfect for her. She believes their meeting wasn’t a coincidence, but fate.

The duo jetted off to Yellowstone National Park in February 2020.

Paris excitedly described Carter as her perfect match, saying she used to be skeptical about the idea of ‘twin flames’ until she met him. She feels he’s her best friend, soulmate, and she’s thrilled to build a life with him.

The entrepreneur flashed his leading lady a smile as they ride a ski lift in Yellowstone.

While the saying goes that opposites attract, Paris and Carter found love through shared similarities. “We’re both Aquariuses, which means we have a lot in common,” Paris explained. “I truly love everything about him.”

The lovebirds took to the high seas for this Kodak moment.

What set Carter apart from Paris’ past relationships? According to Paris, he was the first person she felt truly equal with. He didn’t want anything from her except her affection, which was a new and wonderful experience. She explained that with him, she finally felt comfortable enough to be vulnerable and open her heart completely.

As the fall season approached, the couple headed to Utah for a romantic getaway.

Carter showered Paris with gifts, including an adorable dog she named Slivington.
Oh my gosh, she’s just… breathtaking! Seriously, the most exotic woman ever, and those eyes? Baby blue, absolutely stunning! And her personality? The cutest, I swear! What really gets me, though, is that he’s an animal lover just like me. It’s like, we’re soulmates, you know? It’s just… perfect.

Paris and Carter marked their first anniversary in November 2020 with a luxurious vacation to Bora Bora.

Paris raved about Bora Bora, calling it a top travel destination and sharing memories of an incredible trip with her partner. They enjoyed thrilling activities like water skiing, swimming with sharks and turtles, wakeboarding, and jet skiing in the stunning turquoise waters. She expressed feeling cherished and surprised by his gestures, saying he makes her feel like a princess and that she feels incredibly lucky to be with him.

She shared how much she admires his family’s closeness. She described them as genuinely kind people, and said they always have a wonderful time when they’re together. She really enjoys spending time with them.

Mwah!

Paris’ 2020 documentary delved into her difficult upbringing, which she explained affected her later relationships.
She shared that past experiences made her cautious about opening up to others. However, with Carter, a connection formed effortlessly—it felt like she’d been waiting for him her entire life. She’s incredibly grateful she remained patient and found the right person.

Even though the past year was difficult because of the pandemic, Paris focused on the positive aspects. She’s especially thankful to have Carter in her life, saying she wouldn’t want to have gone through it all alone.
“Plus, it brought us even closer being able to spend 24/7 together,” she continued. “I’m used to traveling all around the world over 250 days a year, so this is the first time I’ve been in one place. Carter and I always say to each other that being together like this has literally been like being in a five-year relationship. I’ve never felt closer to a person in my life.”

After getting engaged in February 2021, the couple exchanged vows that November.
Paris shared that she finally kissed her husband, feeling like her childhood dream of a fairytale wedding had come true. She described the wedding as a ‘true fairytale’.
