Paris Hilton and Carter Reum have been living the simple life since becoming husband and wife — as simple as one would expect for a hotel heiress, DJ and reality TV star.
The couple tied the knot at a private estate in Los Angeles on Nov. 11, 2021. The bride and groom were surrounded by family and friends, including Kim Kardashian, Emma Roberts, Kyle Richards and Nicole Richie.
“We ended the night with dancing and raging to a DJ set. It was the best day and night of my life,” Hilton wrote in a blog post on her official website the day after her wedding. “If I could do it all again I would in a heartbeat. I was incredibly happy being surrounded by so many loved ones and for everyone to be catching up and letting loose and celebrating.”
Hilton and Reum began dating in November 2019 and got engaged in February 2021. Ahead of their special day, the Paris in Love star called Reum her “perfect match.”
“This feels like it was always meant to happen,” she told. “I feel like this is meant to be.”
In the two years that followed, Hilton and Reum welcomed two children together. They had firstborn son, Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum, via surrogate in January 2023 and announced the arrival of daughter London in November that year.
Here’s everything to know about Paris Hilton’s husband, Carter Reum.
He’s an entrepreneur and venture capitalist

According to legal records filed in 2020 and seen by the outlet, Reum never took a paternity test but signed a document acknowledging that he is the father.
“The people who this story matters to have known about it for 10 years,” a rep for Reum said. “Carter supports this child. While he does not have a traditional father-daughter relationship with her, he has provided for her since she was born and will continue to do so.”
He’s a longtime friend of the Hilton family
Hilton told in 2020 that she’s known Reum for 15 years. The two started dating after she attended his sister Halle Hammond’s Thanksgiving celebrations.

Their matching jerseys were complete with the №11 — a nod to Hilton’s favorite time of day and her wedding date.
He and Hilton binged Schitt’s Creek during quarantine
Hilton gifted Reum a life-sized portrait of the couple for his 40th birthday. The painting was inspired by the artwork seen on Schitt’s Creek.
