How Kim inspired Paris
This launch comes just weeks after Paris Hilton revealed that Kim Kardashian encouraged her to freeze her eggs so she can fulfill her dreams of motherhood. In an interview with The Sunday Times, the heiress said she was “inspired” by her friend after they had an “amazing conversation.” She decided to freeze her eggs a few years ago.
“I had a really amazing conversation with Kim [Kardashian] about it,” Paris explained. “She introduced me to her doctor, and I was so inspired by her to actually do it. I think every woman should do it because you can really control it and not have that ‘Oh my God, I need to get married.'”
