[custom_adv] PEOPLE confirms the entrepreneur and DJ got engaged to boyfriend Carter Reum on Saturday, Feb. 13 after more than a year of dating. News of their engagement comes on Hilton's 40th birthday. [custom_adv] "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 says. "I'm excited for our next chapter." [custom_adv] Since starring in The Simple Life, Hilton has built Paris Hilton Entertainment, a global brand that includes stores, product lines, and fragrances. She also recently debuted This Is Paris, a YouTube Originals documentary that seemed to capture the attention of the world during the pandemic, garnering nearly 20 million views to date. [custom_adv] The documentary follows her experience as The Simple Life star turned business woman, but also is very personal in that she reveals for the first time that she suffered abuse as a teen. After the release, Paris began using her voice, platform, and resources to support Breaking Code Silence, an organization created to eradicate abuse of children in systemically abusive institutions. [custom_adv] Next up, Hilton is partnering with iHeart Radio on a series of podcasts and podposts launching on February 22. The “This Is Paris” podcast will be hosted by Hilton herself and will include candid interviews with guests, discussing everything from beauty and wellness to fashion, pop culture, travel, relationships—plus, of course, her new engagement, and hopefully (our fingers are crossed!) her eventual wedding plans.
