The entrepreneur and DJ got engaged to boyfriend 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."
