Hilton and Zylka met at an Oscars party eight years ago, but didn't reconnect until about two years ago, when Zylka noticed one of Hilton's Instagram posts.

Hilton told Galore, "On our first date he came over to my house. We stayed up all night talking and getting to know each other. When we had our first kiss I felt that electric feeling and knew there was something special about him."

Zylka recently got the word "Paris" tattooed on his arm in "Disney" font. Why Disney? "She was my most magical place on Earth and I finally found my fairytale princess," he wrote on Instagram.

"I think we're the only couple that never fights. All my friends are like, 'Literally, you guys are the perfect couple. I've never seen you argue,'" Hilton told US Weekly in November 2017.

"We have fun no matter what we do," Hilton told Galore. "But my ideal day would be having a day off from work, sleeping in. Then cooking a big breakfast and hanging out at the house with our pets. Then going to Disneyland to go on all the rides. We are both kids at heart so we love doing things like that."

Both Hilton and Zylka were previously engaged — Zylka to model and designer Hanna Beth and Hilton to model Jason Shaw (pictured below) and then to shipping heir Paris Latsis.
