Before filming ‘The Simple Life’ and celebrating life’s biggest milestones, Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie were simply childhood besties
From the bright lights of Hollywood to the quiet fields of Arkansas, Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie’s friendship is anything but simple.
While their parents found success in and out of Hollywood – Nicole’s dad is musician Lionel Richie while Paris’ father, Rick Hilton, is the co-founder of real estate brokerage Hilton & Hyland – both Paris and Nicole paved their own path when they entered their 20s and agreed to participate in a reality show titled The Simple Life.
“The Simple Life was the most fun time of my life,” Nicole said on Watch What Happens Live in 2014. “I was 20 and I had a television network, which was Fox, come up to me and say, ‘Do you want to take a trip for 28 days and get paid for it?’ I was like, ‘OK!’ It was great. It was like backpacking — it was with your best friend and you got paid for it and it was fun!”Despite The Simple Life finding huge success, Paris and Nicole experienced a falling out in April 2005, or after season 3.
Several months later, Nicole spoke out about the friendship breakup on Today saying they “grew apart” and their publicized feud “just turned into a much bigger thing than it is. It’s just not part of my life.” She also denied rumors that their feud stemmed from Paris possibly wanting Kimberly Stewart to replace Nicole on The Simple Life. As she said, “That was never going to happen.”Despite Paris and Nicole’s estrangement, the pair agreed to continue filming The Simple Life.
