Simple life? Try again. Paris Hilton might be all smiles after tying the knot to the love of her life, but things have gotten messy real quick. According to explosive new reports, it appears Hilton's husband, Carter Reum, has a 9-year-old daughter he's been keeping on the down low. That's right - hang on while we break down everything we know so far...
On Monday, November 15, PageSix first broke the news after several sources came forward about a mysterious "love child." Sound like another wild tabloid? Try again. After much speculation, it has since been confirmed that such "sources" were indeed on top something, after all. But don't take our word for it...
"The people who this story matters to have known about it for 10 years," a spokesperson for Reum confirmed in an official statement: the millionaire business man has a 9-year-old daughter with Laura Bellizzi. Name ring a bell? There's good reason for that. Not only has the reality-star been tied to several high-profile boyfriends over the years, but she also starred in VH1's Secrets of Aspen back in 2010. Remember that?
Can't say we blame you if you don't, considering Bellizzi has been pretty low-key since making her on-screen debut. Nonetheless, the proud momma is apparently in sole custody of her and Reum's child. "While he does not have a traditional father-daughter relationship with her, he has provided for her since she was born, and will continue to do so," Mr. Reum's spokesperson assured.
A lot to digest, we know. But while we have yet to hear official word from the newlyweds, Hilton and Reum don't seem to have let the bombshell spoil their little fairytale. In fact, from the sounds of it? These two are better than ever. "I finally got to kiss my Prince and begin the happily ever after I’ve been dreaming of since I was a little girl," Hilton gushed on the 'gram of her "fairy tale" wedding.
"Carter has that effect on me... he makes everything feel like a fairy tale," she proudly continued. While we couldn't be happier for Paris and her Prince Charming, we can't help but wonder what's next for these two (especially with the, um, new elephant in the room). Stay tuned - this story's clearly just getting started...
