Paris Hilton Reflects on How Motherhood ‘Feels Like Pure Magic’ in ‘Infinite Icon’
Paris Hilton is putting her mom era front and center — and she’s not being subtle about how much it’s changed her.
The multihyphenate is using her new big-screen documentary, Infinite Icon: A Visual Memoir, to say what she’s been hinting at for the past two years: motherhood really does feel like “pure magic.”
“Being a mom, it’s the most beautiful thing I have ever experienced,” Hilton says in the documentary, per People, calling the love she feels for her children “so deep, it changes you forever.” She describes Phoenix and London as her “whole heart” and her “cutesie crew,” adding that “every smile, every cuddle, every little moment with them feels like pure magic.”
Hilton also says she was planning to become a single mom because she “didn’t trust anyone.” But then, she reconnected with her now-husband, Carter Reum — a family friend she’d known for 15 years — led to their 2019 romance, the freezing of her eggs in 2020, their 2021 wedding, and eventually the two toddlers, who now take up a lot of the story she’s telling.
“The moment I let go of all the pain I had been carrying, I made space for real love to find me,” she says of falling for Reum, whom she calls her “twin flame” and “safe place.” He also gushes about her on camera, calling the “Stars Are Blind” singer “an incredible mom” whose playful side “makes every day so fun” for Phoenix and London.
The film also returns to the hardest chapters of Hilton’s young adult life — including the abuse she says she endured as a teen at a Utah boarding school, and the fallout from the nonconsensual leak of a sex tape when she was 19. She credits music with giving her an outlet and a sense of community in that stretch — and she’s cited that history in her current advocacy work around youth treatment facilities and AI deepfake abuse.
As for whether their “cutesie crew” might expand, Hilton recently told Extra she would “never say never” to a third baby — even as she says she loves having “a boy and a girl” and calls them “perfect.”
For now, Infinite Icon: A Visual Memoir documents the version of Hilton she’s most interested in spotlighting: the one where policy fights and pop star production sit right alongside bedtime, cuddles, and the kind of joy only a mother can understand.
