Started IVF during pandemic
Hilton has always been open about her and Reum's desire to be parents, even noting that they have been talking about having kids since after a few months of dating.
When she guested on The Bellas Podcast last April, she expressed how she na husband would love to have twins and to have three to four children overall.
At the same time, Hilton has also been open about the challenges of getting pregnant and shared with People last December that she and Reum decided to do the in-vitro fertilization (IVF) process at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Love Rush fragrance founder shared how they started going and doing it while the "world was shut down." Knowing that they wanted to start a family as soon as possible, getting all of the "eggs stocked and ready" just made sense when the pandemic gave them the gift of time, as Hilton gets to be very busy on normal times. As she described, being in and out of a plane in 250 days a year.
Hilton and Reum reconnected in 2019 after knowing each other for 15 long years. After more than a year of dating, Reum proposed on a private island and they got engaged in February 2021. Nine months later, the two got married in November in a three-day wedding ceremony, with the fashionista having 10 outfit changes.
In an interview with Vogue, Hilton shared how their relationship is "one of equals," making each other so much better people. Reum was definitely worth the wait, she added.
