Los Angeles - Paris has met Paris and is going to tie the knot. And if People magazine is to be believed, they are going to have children.
The US celebrity weekly reported on Monday that Hilton hotel chain heiress and all-around glamour girl Paris Hilton has accepted a marriage proposal from Greek shipping heir and her boyfriend of the past five months, Paris Latsis.
"They are happy and excited," Hiltons spokesperson, Rob Shuter, is quoted as telling the magazine.
According to the report, the 27-year-old Latsis proposed to 24-year-old Hilton on Wednesday, when she returned home after a three-week trip to Europe, where she promoted her movie "House of Wax" and her new fragrance.
The couple celebrated the engagement on Saturday with a barbecue for 75 friends and family, the magazine said.
"I'm very in love - he's the one," Hilton told People earlier this month. "I want to have kids in the next two years, because I know that completes your life."
Hilton gained celebrity status after nude photos of her, snapped by a previous boyfriend, were posted on the internet.
She later starred in a TV reality show and pursued other Hollywood endeavors.
She hit the headlines again this month with a commercial for a West Coast hamburger chain, in which she appeared in a scanty outfit and performed a provocative dance. Some citizens' groups have described the ad as "soft porn."
