The entrepreneur and DJĀ got engaged to boyfriendĀ Carter Reum on Feb. 13 after more than a year of dating. News of their engagement broke days later, on Hilton's 40th birthday.

"This past year with COVID has accelerated so many things. As someone who traveled constantly, I had a chance to stay home and reevaluate what was important to me. My relationship and the time I spent with Carter was a gift," Hilton said. "I'm excited for our next chapter."

Added Reum: "I have gotten the unique opportunity to get to know the real Paris on a daily basis just the two of us during these past 15 months and I couldn't be more excited and lucky to have her as my future wife and partner. She shines with her kindness, work ethic, authenticity and her voice in making the world a better place and she will do the same as a future mother and wife."

The singer got down on one knee to ask his longtime love to marry himĀ  — and he tells PEOPLE she said yes before he even had a chance to ask. But he's been waiting a long time to hear that word: "I would even tell her, 'I'm going to marry you one day,' before we started dating, which is kind of an absurd thing to say," he said. "But now that it's actually happening, I guess it's not that absurd."

His fiancƩe is actress Woodley, 29, whom he's been quietly dating since late last year.
