Socialite and media personality Paris Hilton embraced a sunny Thanksgiving weekend with a family kayaking adventure in the luxurious Caribbean destination of St. Barths.
A Stylish Family Outing on the Water
The 44-year-old heiress, recently seen at the LACMA Art and Film Gala, opted for a practical yet fashionable look for the aquatic excursion. She wore a sleek black wetsuit with blue detailing, layering it with a lacy black mini skirt as a chic cover-up. Her accessories included sporty white sunglasses with iridescent lenses and rainbow-coloured water shoes, perfectly complementing the beach setting.
Her husband, Carter Reum, also 44, kept it casual in a long-sleeved white T-shirt, black sunglasses, and pastel blue and pink swim trunks. The couple coordinated with matching black baseball caps featuring the white embroidered logo of Carter's angel investment firm, M13 Ventures.
Their nearly three-year-old son, Phoenix, who will celebrate his birthday in January, joined his parents for the quality time on the water. Notably absent from the picturesque scene was the couple's two-year-old daughter, London.
A Heartfelt Thanksgiving Message
The St. Barths trip followed a touching social media post from Paris on Thanksgiving Day. The mogul shared a montage video with her nearly 30 million Instagram followers, expressing deep gratitude for her family life.
In the caption, she wrote, 'My heart is full this #Thanksgiving.' She went on to describe the joy of 'watching Carter be the sweetest dad, Phoenix discover the world, and little London shine brighter every day', calling it the love she had always dreamed of. She concluded by stating she is 'grateful always for my family.'
Prioritising Family Privacy
This public display of family joy comes after Paris has been notably protective of her children's privacy. She previously revealed on her 'This Is Paris' podcast that she and Carter kept the birth of their son Phoenix in January 2023 a complete secret, even from their immediate family.
Not even her mother, sisters, or best friend knew about the surrogacy until the baby was over a week old. Paris explained that after a lifetime in the public eye, she wanted the journey to parenthood to be a private one shared solely with her husband, fearing leaks to tabloids like TMZ or Page Six.
She described the poignant moment her mother, Kathy Hilton, finally met her newborn grandson: 'It was amazing to see the look on her face... She was so surprised — just the look on her face, it was priceless.'
The recent holiday photos and messages signify a new chapter for Paris Hilton, one where she carefully curates sharing her cherished, and once fiercely guarded, family moments with the world.
