Kathy Hilton has revealed the secrets of her happy 44-year marriage to hotel baron Rick Hilton.
The reality star, 65, married Rick, 69, in 1979 and the couple will celebrate their 45th wedding anniversary in November.
They share four children: daughters Paris, 43, and Nicky, 40, and sons Barron, 34, and Conrad, 30.
Kathy told me People: “We haven’t been away from each other in two weeks” during their entire marriage.
“I don’t think you go to bed without saying, ‘I love you,’ and kissing each other and never having an argument or anything like that.” If you’ve had a disagreement, you always make up before you go to sleep, keep a bit of mystery and always keep it exciting and fun.’

Kathy and Rick tied the knot when she was 20 and he was 24 after meeting as teenagers.
Rick is the grandson of Hilton Hotel founder Conrad Hilton.
He is the chairman and co-founder of Hilton & Hyland, a real estate brokerage based in Beverly Hills that specializes in homes and estates in Beverly Hills and other luxury regions such as Malibu, Pacific Palisades, Bell-Air, Hollywood Hills, Holmby Hills and estates extend from Santa Barbara to the Sand Diego region.
Although known as the mother of Paris and Nicky Hilton, Kathy is also recognized for her appearances on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, her philanthropic efforts with charities like the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and for being the half-sister of RHOBH. with Kyle and Kim Richards.
Kathy told me recently UsWeekly at the Ladies Who Longevity Lunch, where Paris and her The Simple Life co-star Nicole Richie enjoy reconnecting as they reboot their hit 2000s show.
“You know what’s great, when they get back together, it’s like they’re still 12 years old,” she said.
“When they get together, they’re like two kids,” she said.
Paris and Nicole showed the world their friendship in the 2003 reality TV show, in which hotel heiress and daughter of music megastar Lionel Richie got to see how the other half lived – often to great amusement and awkwardness.

‘For the first show I put them both on the bed. I didn’t know where they were going,” Kathy explained to the outlet.
‘I wasn’t here for this at all… and I was wrong. It was the funniest show.”
And the proud mum reviewed her daughter’s reality TV debut, calling it ‘iconic’.
‘It was without swearing, without fighting [and] it was really cute and fun and just silly and a lot like me,” Kathy added.
Last month, news broke that Paris and Nicole were planning to reboot The Simple Life, 21 years after it first aired.
The premise of the series hasn’t been revealed yet, though production sources shared that it won’t be an exact copy of their previous show, nor will it have the same name.
Paris and Nicole have already sold their pitch to Peacock after resolving all scheduling issues so they could work together again.
And Kathy is completely invested in the reboot, saying: ‘I think it’s going to be exciting. The two are a dynamic duo.’
