What Paris Hilton’s Exes Have Said About Her

Love comes and goes in Hollywood, and socialite Paris Hilton is no exception. Since coming into the spotlight, Hilton has been romantically linked with several men, with relationships ranging from casual flings to more serious commitments.

In 2001, Hilton started dating model Jason Shaw, with the pair getting engaged only a year later. Sadly, in 2003, the couple called it quits. But that was only the beginning of Hilton’s very public love life.

Between 2003 and 2018, Hilton was engaged twice more before she met her husband, Carter Reum. Though Reum and Hilton had known each other for over a decade, it wasn’t until 2019 that the two took their relationship beyond a platonic level.

“I’ve known him for 15 years. Then [Reum’s sister Halle Hammond] invited us to Thanksgiving and we just had this incredible chemistry,” Hilton revealed to People. “We had our first date and haven’t spent a night apart since. It’s pretty amazing.”

Reum and Hilton have since married and welcomed two kids together.

“I feel like Carter and I are puzzle pieces getting connected. I never thought I’d meet a man like him, who loves me for Paris and not Paris Hilton,” the socialite gushed to People back in 2021.

But while Hilton might already be living her happily-ever-after fairytale, here’s a look back at what some of her exes have said about her!

Rick Salomon did not feel remorse for his s:3:x tape with Paris Hilton

In the early aughts, Paris Hilton briefly dated poker player Rick Salomon. But while their relationship in itself was pretty much unremarkable, their break up was highly publicized after Salomon leaked a s:3:x tape of himself and the hotel heiress.

“I just felt so betrayed. This was not some random guy; this was someone I was with for a few years,” Hilton told CNN of the incident in 2011. “I can’t believe that he would do something like that to me. It’s something that changed my life forever.”

Hilton, who was only 19 when the tape was made, later accused Salomon of manipulating her to agree.

In her 2023 book, “Paris: the Memoir,” she shared that despite initial hesitation, she eventually agreed after breakup threats from the poker player.

Unable to loosen up, Hilton downed alcohol and Quaaludes, which helped her relax. “I needed to prove something to him and to myself, so I got hammered, and I did it,” she wrote, according to the Daily Mail.

But while Hilton might have agreed to make the tape, the socialite says she didn’t agree to share it — making Salomon’s release to the public distressing for Hilton and her family. The famous poker player admitted he holds no regret for his actions. “I don’t feel bad. It’s not ruining her life and it sort of ruined my life and now I’m capitalizing on it,” he said in a 2004 interview with NBC News.
