The heiress-entrepreneur-DJ-reality star is set to marry Carter Reum this week.

Famed multi-hyphenate (heriess-entrepreneur-DJ-reality star) Paris Hilton is set to wed her beau, Carter Reum this week, in what is expected to be an appropriately over-the-top multi-day nuptial celebration. The star’s first wedding (she’s been engaged three times before) marks the end of decades of media speculation about her love life. Though Hilton was rumored to be romantically linked to any number of movers and shakers over the years, here we take a look back at some of her most prominent (confirmed) relationships.

Carter Reum

Paris and Reum reportedly knew each other for 15 years before they began dating in 2019, Their relationship accenlerated during the pandemic—”The silver lining is that I get to be with my pets and my boyfriend. We have gotten so close. The amount of time we’ve had together is what would normally take five years!” she told People—and in February 2021, Rerum proposed with a ring designed by Jean Dousset, the great-grandson of Louis Cartier, while the couple were staying on a private island.

Cy Waits

Hilton and Waits, who worked in nightlife, seemingly had a tumultuous relationship between 2010 and 2011. Though he appeared on Hilton’s short-lived reality show The World According to Paris, their split sounded less than amicable when Waits told People in 2011, “In my next relationship I expect honesty, strong values, true communication, commitment, mutual trust and respect, something I didn’t necessarily have recently. At the end of the day, I want my partner and I to have the same ethics.”

I didn’t trust her,” Carter told People at the time.

Professional poker player Salomon became known for his relationship to Hilton through a sex tape that he famously leaked in 2004. “I just felt so betrayed,” Paris said in an interview in 2011. “This was not some random guy; this was someone I was with for a few years.” She added, “I can’t believe that he would do something like that to me. It’s something that changed my life forever. ”
