Bellizii – a Chicago native who now lives in California with the child – also briefly dated actor Mel Gibson. Hilton and Reum tied the knot at a lavish ceremony in Bel Air.
In 2011, when Bellizzi was pregnant, it was reported that the baby was Mel Gibson’s love child, though he vehemently denied the claims.
DailyMail.com has reached out to Hilton and Reum’s reps who have so far been unavailable for comment.
Bellizzi also refuted the rumors to TMZ in November 2011, saying: ‘Mel Gibson is not the father of my child.’
As it turns out, she was carrying Reum’s child.

It is the first time that any significant details from Reum’s relationship history has been revealed, after he and wife Hilton have shared their romance openly in her reality show Paris In Love.
A source claimed to the outlet that Carter has ‘only seen [his daughter] once since she was born 9 years ago.’
In response, a spokesperson for Reum told said: ‘The people who this story matters to have known about it for 10 years. Carter supports this 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.’

Bellizi has kept a low profile since hitting the headlines with Gibson in 2011.
The reality show, VH-1’s Secrets of Aspen, that she appeared on in 2010, only ran for one season and she has not appeared on any other shows since.
A source close to the situation added to the outlet that her daughter had been ‘triggered’ by seeing Reum’s lavish wedding to Hilton, and felt ‘left out’ of her father’s life.
The source said: ‘Also, she saw the articles of Paris and Carter talking about starting a family. She felt tremendous rejection and felt left out. She wants to have a relationship with him.’
Reum is worth an estimated $40million, after co-founding investment company M13 with his brother Courtney Reum. Meanwhile, Reum’s wife Hilton is worth an estimated $300million.

The source continued that Reum’s daughter wants to ‘know her daddy.’
‘She just wants to really complete the missing pieces of her puzzle,’ the source divulged.
‘She’s at that age where self-identity is so important, and children want to know who they are and where they come from. It’s important for him to help her with that.’
‘It’s not about [Reum] or the mother. It’s about making the child whole. She is absolutely an amazing little girl. She has so much love to give. And she wants to give it to him, his family and whoever he chooses to love.’

A second source told the outlet: ‘She is of an age now where she is cognizant and wants her paternal family to hear her and know her. He may not claim or love her, but she claims and loves him and his family.’
Prior to giving brith, Hilton has made no secret of her plan to start a family with Reum of their own, now they are married.

‘I have tons of embryos that are waiting, we’ve been stocking up on a lot of them,’ Hilton fired back after she was asked about her mother’s remark by TMZ.
She also said she would want ‘maybe a boy first’ since she always dreamed of having an older brother to ‘protect’ her.
The socialite told The Trend Reporter with Mara podcast that best friend Kim Kardashian had introduced her to the idea.
Paris said: ‘[Kim was the one] who told me about that. I didn’t even know anything about it. I’m happy that she told me that advice and introduced me to her doctor.
Who is Carter Reum? Meet the man who hopeless romantic Paris Hilton has FINALLY settled down with…
He has been credited as the man who has finally tamed the ultimate 2000s party icon Paris Hilton. So, why is Carter Reum such a catch? DailyMail.com takes a look into the life of the entrepreneur and venture capitalist that has stolen the heart of a hotel heiress…
He comes from a wealthy family, just like Paris
Carter’s father, the late tycoon W. Robert ‘Bob’ Reum, was the chairman, CEO and president of Chicago-based industrial firm Amsted Industries. The company is currently valued at $4billion, and Bob is said to have left behind $7million when he died in 2017 at the age of 74 and is also said to have had a significant property portfolio. Meanwhile, his sister Halle is married to Oliver Hammond, a scion of the extremely wealthy Annenberg family.
He’s an Ivy League graduate
Ivy League schools are considered to be the best in the country – and Carter received a B.A. in both Economics and Business/Managerial Economics from Columbia University in 2003, setting him on his road to success. His older brother Courtney and sister Halle also attended the same school.

He’s a well-respected entrepreneur
Carter’s net worth is estimated to be between $35million-$40 million, and while that is no match for Paris Hilton’s estimated $300million fortune – he has a promising career ahead. For the last four years in a row, he’s been recognized as one of Goldman Sachs’ Builders + Innovators Top 100 Most Intriguing Entrepreneur. He and his brother Courtney Reum co-founded their investment company M13, named after the brightest star constellation, after selling their spirits company VEEV in 2016. M13 has invested in over 125 companies including names like Lyft, Pinterest, SpaceX, and more.
He’s media savvy and has appeared on reality TV in the past
While Carter may be a private person, he’s also a media-savvy commentator who knows how to handle his public image. He has appeared on the business reality competition show Hatched with his brother Courtney. In 2018, Carter and Courtney released a self-help book for aspiring and seasoned entrepreneurs titled Shortcut Your Startup.

He’s accepting of his partner’s ‘imperfections’
When asked about any of Paris’s annoying habits, Carter said rather diplomatically that her ‘creative mind’ doesn’t always make for a clean or organized house. ‘Yeah, I’m not the most organized person in the world,’ Paris agreed. But Carter reasoned: ‘Yeah, I don’t think we’re gonna change that. I think we’re just gonna have to accept that. If that’s the only reason you’re not perfect, could be way worse.’
He’s a private person with a child from a previous relationship
It was revealed after their wedding that Carter is father to a nine-year-old daughter from a previous relationship with reality star Laura Bellizzi. In 2011, when Bellizzi was pregnant, it was reported that the baby was Mel Gibson’s love child, though he vehemently denied the claims. As it turns out, she was carrying Reum’s child. A spokesperson for Carter said on the matter: ‘The people who this story matters to have known about it for 10 years. Carter supports this 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.’
