Paris Hilton and Carter Reum want their second wedding anniversary to be all about family.
While chatting exclusively with PEOPLE about her upcoming “Be an Icon” kitchen and home collection with Walmart, the businesswoman, 42, also opens up about how she and Reum, 42, plan to mark two years of wedded bliss.
Noting that she is still “trying to figure out” final plans, Hilton says she and Reum want to go to the Maldives and vacation at the Waldorf Astoria with their baby son, 8-month-old Phoenix Barron.
“That’s going to be our family tradition, because we had our honeymoon there, and then our first wedding anniversary, and I want to make it a yearly family tradition,” she explains.
Adds Hilton: “We’re just trying to figure everything out because [our son’s] so little, and it’s very far away. But that property is just so epic, and it’s such a magical place, and I know that he would love it so much since he loves going in the water and being on the beach.”

Hilton and Reum first met when they were in their 20s and later reconnected in 2019 thanks to Reum’s sister, Halle Hammond, who invited both the entrepreneur and The Simple Life star over for Thanksgiving that year, when they hit it off.
“I’ve known him for 15 years,” Hilton previously told PEOPLE. “Then [Reum’s sister Halle Hammond] invited us to Thanksgiving and we just had this incredible chemistry. We had our first date and haven’t spent a night apart since. It’s pretty amazing.”
While vacationing on a private island for Hilton’s 40th birthday, Reum proposed to the star, and the pair then wed in November 2021 during a lavish ceremony and reception at Hilton’s late grandfather’s former Bel Air home.
The wedding festivities continued with a neon carnival-themed party at the Santa Monica Pier the next day, and with another formal dinner the following evening.

Back in August, Hilton celebrated her 45-month anniversary with Reum through a selection of photos shared on Instagram.
“This week was our 45th month anniversary ,” she captioned a series of images, before asking fans: “What should we do for our wedding anniversary on 11/11 this year?? #Love.”
In the carousel of shots, Hilton and Reum could be seen cuddling together in a hammock in one image, as another photograph showed the duo smiling together on a boat.
“I’m the luckiest guy in the world to be your teammate and best friend ,” Reum wrote in the comments section of Hilton’s post.
