Paris Hilton Offers Heartfelt Update on Britney Spears Amid Recent Concerns
Paris Hilton has publicly expressed her admiration and support for longtime friend Britney Spears, offering a positive update on the pop icon following months of fan concern. The television personality, who is currently promoting her upcoming documentary Infinite Icon: A Visual Memoir, spoke warmly about Spears during an encounter in New York City this week.
A Friendship Forged in the Early 2000s
The bond between Hilton and Spears dates back to the early 2000s, when the pair were frequently photographed together at high-profile events and star-studded parties. Their enduring connection remains strong over two decades later, with Hilton recently providing insights into Spears' current state.
'She's amazing. She's so strong. She's been through so much and she has one of the biggest hearts,' Hilton told TMZ regarding her friend. 'She is such an angel and the world is lucky to have her.'
Hilton went further, labelling the Toxic singer as 'another infinite icon. Always has been. Always will be.'
Focus on Family Reconnections and Motherhood
During her conversation with TMZ, Hilton also touched upon Spears' relationship with her two sons, Sean Preston, 20, and Jayden, 19, whom she shares with ex-husband Kevin Federline. The singer has recently reconnected with her children following a period of estrangement.
'She loves her babies so much,' Hilton said. 'Has the heart of gold and I'm just so happy for her. I love her.'
Spears has publicly shared details about her repaired bond with her sons, including spending time with Jayden over Father's Day last June and enjoying holiday celebrations together more recently, though her eldest was unable to travel for Christmas due to work commitments.
Recent Concerns and Public Appearances
The update from Hilton comes after Spears sparked concern among fans late last year. In October, the singer was spotted swerving in traffic after leaving an upscale restaurant in Thousand Oaks, and was later seen appearing dishevelled while exiting a Los Angeles wine bar. The following month, she posted a cryptic Instagram message referencing 'suffering' and 'darkness,' heightening worries about her wellbeing.
However, Hilton provided a more reassuring perspective earlier this month at the WWD Style Awards, telling the Daily Mail: 'She's doing good. She's doing really good.'
Continuing Bond and Family Connections
The friendship between Hilton and Spears continues to thrive, with the pair spending quality time together regularly. Last December, Spears revealed on Instagram that she had bonded with Hilton's young children, Phoenix, three, and London, two, during a visit where the children wore Peter Pan and Wendy costumes.
In a since-deleted post, Spears praised Hilton's parenting, writing: 'Paris is such a stunning mom... I'm so proud of Paris for being such a strong, beautiful mother!!!!!!!!' She also thanked Hilton for visiting on her birthday earlier in December.
Decades of Mutual Support and Admiration
Hilton has consistently spoken positively about her friendship with Spears over the years. During a TalkShopLive event last year, she remarked: 'It's just so cute seeing her with the babies. She just loves kids so much.'
Back in 2020, on Sirius XM's Andy Cohen Live, Hilton described their relationship: 'I just love her so much. She is so sweet and so innocent and such a nice girl. We just talk about happy things. Music, fashion… fun things.' She added that she avoids discussing negative topics, including Spears' former conservatorship, to keep their interactions positive.
Hilton's Musical Journey and Documentary Release
Meanwhile, Hilton is preparing for the release of her documentary Infinite Icon: A Visual Memoir, which hits theaters on January 30. The film explores her music career, from childhood dreams through her club-going adolescence to her debut album and subsequent musical reinvention.
The documentary features concert footage, archival clips, never-before-seen home videos, and new interviews. Hilton has released two studio albums and nineteen singles throughout her career, with her 2006 track Stars Are Blind reaching number 18 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Beyond recording, Hilton has pursued her passion for DJing, performing at major events including Tomorrowland and the upcoming Stagecoach 2025. 'It's been an amazing journey,' she told People about her music career. 'I've been through so much in my life, and music has been the one thing that's just been my passion and my love.'
As both women continue their respective journeys in the public eye, Hilton's heartfelt words serve as a testament to their enduring friendship and mutual support through life's challenges and triumphs.
