Paris Hilton is opening up about motherhood and how her two children with husband Carter Reum have enriched her life.
“Being a mom, it’s the most beautiful thing I have ever experienced,” the heiress and businesswoman, 44, says in her new documentary, Infinite Icon: A Visual Memoir of their son Phoenix, 3, and daughter London, 2. “[It’s] the kind of love that’s so deep, it changes you forever. When I look at my baby’s faces, I see everything I was ever meant to be. London and Phoenix are my whole heart, my ‘cutesie crew.’ ”
“Every smile, every cuddle, every little moment with them feels like pure magic,” Hilton continues, adding, “They’ve given my life a new kind of sparkle — one that’s deeper, softer and so full of love it takes my breath away.”
In the documentary, which hit theaters on Jan. 30, the “Stars Are Blind” singer discusses how music saved her life during the early 2000s, creating a safe space and community for her following abuse she says she endured as a teen while attending a Utah boarding school, as well as media scrutiny after a sex tape of her leaked in 2004 when she was 19. The film is juxtaposed with footage from Hilton’s Infinite Icon concert on Oct. 24, 2024 at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles.
Hilton also reflects on her love story with Reum, 44, a businessman and family friend she had known for 15 years before they reconnected and began dating in 2019. They married in November 2021.

“The moment I let go of all the pain I had been carrying, I made space for real love to find me,” Hilton says about falling in love with Reum.
“Paris and I were not love at first sight because we knew each other for years,” Reum says in the documentary. “We’d always say ‘Hi’ to each other. We definitely were ‘kiss at first sight.’ ”
In the film, the media personality also discussing her long path to motherhood: Before she met Reum, she had decided to freeze her eggs in the hopes of being a mom one day.
“I was like, ‘I don’t need a man. I’m successful. I can support a family. I can do anything,’ ” Hilton says. “I don’t trust anyone, so I’m just going to be a single mom.’ The walls I had built around my heart from so many years of pain and heartbreak that I just never could let anyone in.”
Reconnecting with Carter led to a change of plans, and, she says, her “life has changed ever since.”

“She’s such an incredible mom,” Reum says of watching Hilton with Phoenix and London. “She has this inner playfulness that just makes every day so fun.”

When it comes to potentially expanding their family, Hilton told Extra in a Jan. 1 interview that she would “never say never” to the idea of welcoming another child.
“I love babies so much. Sometimes I think about it, but they’re so perfect, and I love that I have a boy and a girl. So, I don’t know,” she said. “We’ll see what happens.”
“Our life together is more magical than I have ever dreamed,” Hilton says in the documentary about her family of four. “Carter is my home, my safe place, my twin flame. Every day with him feels like a fairytale, only it’s real, and it’s ours.”
Infinite Icon: A Visual Memoir is now playing in theaters.
