Paris Hilton and Carter Reum Welcome Baby No. 2: Look Back at Their Fairytale Romance

With love like this, life really is simple. 

Paris Hilton and her husband Carter Reum have officially become a family of four after welcoming their newest addition, baby girl London who joins their 10-month-old son Phoenix. The couple announced their happy news on Thanksgiving, with Paris captioning a photo featuring a pink onesie bearing the name of her daughter, "Thankful for my baby girl."

The arrival of the couple's newest bundle of joy comes just a month after The Simple Life alum—who tied the knot with Carter in 2021 after two years of dating—gave an inside look into life at home with baby Phoenix, as well as her and her husband's plans for expanding their family. 

"I can't wait to have my own little princess one day," Paris exclusively told E! News' Francesca Amiker in October, "and that's something that we talk about and think about all the time."

But before her little princess did indeed arrive, the 42-year-old was reveling in her newest role—that of mom to Phoenix, who she and Carter welcomed via surrogate in January. 

"It's been such a special time," Paris gushed of motherhood. "My little baby boy is my world and he's made my life feel so complete. My husband is just the sweetest, kindest, most loyal and loving partner—just my everything."

In fact, it was meeting Carter that allowed the reality star to fulfill her lifelong hopes of having kids of her own. 

"I've wanted to be a mom since I was a little girl. I always loved kids, but I just never found the person that I could trust to do that with," Paris told E! News in Dec. 2022, adding of her husband, "but now that I did, I just can't wait. And he's going to be the best father and we're just going to have the most magical life together."

From the start, Paris says she saw something special in Carter.

"I feel so blessed to have found the love of my life at the perfect time," she raves. "He is everything I have ever hoped and dreamed of. Loyal, kind, romantic, handsome, thoughtful, caring, brilliant and perfect for me in every way. I truly believe that everything in life happens for a reason and that we were always meant to be."

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

Paris believes she and Carter are soulmates for life, sharing, "I've heard of twin flames before but I never believed in them 'till I met Carter. He is definitely my twin flame, my best friend, my other half and I can't wait for our future and to spend the rest of our lives together."

They say opposites attract, but not in the case of Paris and Carter's love story. "We are both Aquarius, so we are alike in so many ways," she shares. "I love everything about him."

In August, the lovebirds take to the high seas for this Kodak moment. 

What makes Carter stand out from Paris' previous Prince Charming's? As she puts it, "This is the first time in my life where I am with my equal. He wants nothing from me but my love. It's such an incredible feeling to know that. And this is the first time in my life where I have let down my walls and opened my heart to someone."

 

As the fall season approaches, the couple heads to Utah for a romantic getaway. 

Carter showers Paris with gifts, including an adorable dog she named Slivington.

"She is so exotic and has the most stunning baby blue eyes and the cutest personality," the star describes. "I love that he is an animal lover like me."

In November, Paris and Carter celebrate their one-year anniversary with a lavish trip to Bora Bora. 

Calling Bora Bora "one of my favorite places in the world," Paris gushes, "We had the best time together, going on adventures, water skiing, swimming with sharks, turtles and all the beautiful sea life, wakeboarding, jet skiing and swimming in the beautiful warm turquoise waters. He always loves to surprise me. He makes me feel like a princess everyday. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world."

Paris says her man surprised her with "the most beautiful diamond bracelet" for their anniversary. "I was so happy I cried when I read the card and opened up the gift box and saw the gorgeous sparkling bracelet," she adds. "I love it so much and will treasure it forever."

Over the 2020 Thanksgiving holiday, Paris spends time with Carter's family at the Montage Hotel in Laguna Beach, Calif.

"I love how close his family is," she says. "They are such kind and genuine people. We all always have the best time together and it's so nice to spend so much time together."

Mwah! 

Paris' 2020 documentary explored her troubled childhood, an aspect of her personal life that she says impacted her romantic relationships. 

"After what I have been through in life, I was very protective of my heart and letting people in," she explains. "But with Carter it all just happened so naturally—like he was the one I had waited my whole life for. So I'm so happy that I was patient and waited for The One."

Despite such a "crazy and scary" year due to the pandemic, Paris says, "I always try and see the silver lining in everything, and I am so grateful to have had Carter in my life. I can't imagine being single and alone during all this."

"Plus, it brought us even closer being able to spend 24/7 together," she continues. "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. 

"I finally got to kiss my Prince and begin the happily ever after I've been dreaming of since I was a little girl," Paris wrote on her website. "It was a true fairytale wedding."
