Publish date: 2024-05-17

Paris Hilton married the love of her life, Carter Reum, in November 2021, and in January 2023, they welcomed their first child together. Hilton—a businesswoman, DJ, and the heiress of the Hilton hotel empire—has been making headlines since her birth, but now, fans want to know who her husband is. Ahead, everything we know about Carter Milliken Reum.

What does he do?

Reum, born on February 5, 1981, is an American author, entrepreneur, and venture capitalist.

In 2007, he and his brother, Courtney Reum, cofounded the successful alcohol brand VEEV Spirits, which was soon listed in Inc. magazine as one of the 5,000 fastest-growing private companies in the United States. The two later released a book, Shortcut Your Startup: Ten Ways to Speed Up Entrepreneurial Success, to help other entrepreneurs reach their goals.

Investing in companies like SpaceX, Lyft, Pinterest, and Warby Parker, the brothers founded M13 Ventures, an angel investment firm, in 2016.

Apart from his businesses, Reum has appeared on Hatched, a TV series that follows entrepreneurs on their journeys toward success, and as a guest and commentator on various networks, including CBS and Fox. He is also a contributing writer for Huffington Post and Inc.

His and Paris's love story

Reum had been a friend of the Hilton family for some time before he and the "Stars Are Blind" singer started dating in November 2019. It was Hilton's first relationship since calling off her engagement to Chris Zylka one year prior.

"I'm so happy," she told Us Weekly in February 2020. "This is the best time of my life right now."

Hilton and Reum got engaged in February 2021, after more than a year of dating.

"When you find your soulmate, you don't just know it. You feel it," Hilton wrote in an Instagram post featuring photos of the proposal. "I said yes, yes to forever. There's no one I'd rather spend forever with."

That November, the couple got married in a lavish three-day wedding in Santa Monica, California.

"My forever begins today… ✨💍 11/11 💝#JustMarried #ForeverHiltonReum," Hilton captioned an Instagram photo of herself in her stunning wedding gown.

Hilton told Tamron Hall on her show in 2021 that she and Reum were trying to grow their family and began doing IVF soon after their romance got serious.

"I'm just so happy that Carter and I decided to do that literally, like, six months into our relationship. We knew we were forever right away," she said.

Then, in January 2023, the pair's wish came true; they welcomed their first child, a baby boy. Hilton shared the happy news on Instagram on Wednesday, January 25.

"You are already loved beyond words 💙," she captioned a sweet photo of her newborn holding her manicured thumb.
