The happy news comes just a little more than a year after Paris and Carter tied the knot in November 2021. And the businesswoman always knew that she wanted to grow their family.

"I've wanted to be a mom since I was a little girl," she told E! News in December 2022. "I always loved kids, but I just never found the person I could trust to do that with. But now that I did, I just can't wait. And he's going to be the best father and we're just going to have the most magical life together."

A New Chapter

"After what I have been through in life, I was very protective of my heart and letting people in," she explained. "But with Carter it all just happened so naturally—like he was the one I had waited my whole life for. So I'm so happy that I was patient and waited for The One."

A Year They'll Never Forget

Despite such a "crazy and scary" year due to the pandemic, Paris said, "I always try and see the silver lining in everything, and I am so grateful to have had Carter in my life. I can't imagine being single and alone during all this."

"Plus, it brought us even closer being able to spend 24/7 together," she continued. "I'm used to traveling all around the world over 250 days a year, so this is the first time I've been in one place. Carter and I always say to each other that being together like this has literally been like being in a five-year relationship. I've never felt closer to a person in my life."
