It turns out that Rick Hilton’s most natural element isn’t on the red carpet at a fancy event or closing real estate deals (though we imagine he thrives there). Kathy Hilton’s husband looks most at ease when he’s with his family. This was definitely the case when Kathy shared a photo of Rick, taken on his birthday earlier this summer, as he was celebrating alongside his grandkids.
In August, Kathy celebrated Rick’s birthday by sharing the most adorable photo of her husband surrounded by all 8 (yes, 8!) of their grandchildren. “Happy Birthday, Rick. We love you,” The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills friend captioned the post. She also included some commentary written over the photo, writing, “Papa with all of his grandbabies. Happy Birthday! We love you.
At another time in recent weeks, Rick also shared a photo of himself smiling with several of his grandkids, piled around him. Whatever he was up to in that moment (a list sits on the table in front of him), he stopped everything to take a photo with his grandkids. We mean, look at those smiles! Rick Hilton might be vying for the award for proudest grandpa.
Who are Kathy Hilton and Rick Hilton’s kids and grandchildren?
As mentioned, Kathy and Rick are the grandparents to 8 grandchildren. Their daughter Nicky Hilton Rothschild is a mom to Lily-Grace, Theodora (Teddy), and Chasen, with her husband James Rothschild. Their son, Barron is a dad to Milou, Caspian, and Apollo, with his wife, Tessa. Their daughter, Paris Hilton, is a mom to Phoenix and London, with her husband Carter Reum. (Kathy and Rick are also parents to another son, Conrad.)

Kathy and Rick’s grandkids are all pretty young, but of course, there have been countless moments for the family to feel proud and find time to celebrate. In fact, in late September, Kathy shared a photo on Instagram Stories of her granddaughter Milou to mark her milestone first day of kindergarten. The photo, featuring Milou with her siblings, noted that she wants to be a singer.
Weeks before, Barron’s wife and Milou’s mama, Tessa, recently shared how special her bond is with Rick. “Happy Birthday to the best father-in-law anyone could ever ask for! We are so lucky to call you ours,” she wrote in August. “We love you, Papa.”
Paris also frequently shares the latest on her two kids on her social media, including revealing how they were by her side as she celebrated at her recent housewarming party. Nicky has shared on Instagram peeks at her family life with her three kids, calling “motherhood… the greatest chapter of my life.”
Of course, when Kathy and Rick aren’t being doting grandparents, the longtime couple are finding plenty of other ways to pass their time.
