Nicky Hilton, socialite and fashion designer, has long been beloved not only for impeccable style but also for her sweet marriage with financier and member of one of the wealthiest European families, James Rothschild. During an interview recently given by Hilton, she discussed the significant factor for maintaining a healthy marriage—being on the same page and maintaining balance between partner and parent.
Healthy foundation of mutual respect
Hilton married Rothschild in 2015 in a fairytale romantic wedding at Kensington Palace. Since the wedding day, they have been building their life together based on mutual respect and deep feelings of partnership. In her discussion of pillars for her relationship, Hilton opted to highlight respect and understanding in their marriage.
“James and I make sure to listen to each other and respect each other’s opinions,” Hilton shared. “Even if we don’t see eye to eye, we try to understand where the other person is coming from. That mutual respect is the foundation of our relationship.”
This respect is reflected in the fact that they always find a way to address any conflicts that Hilton considers inevitable in every relationship. Instead of letting the argument escalate, the two ensure that they communicate with each other and resolve the problem before things get out of hand. According to Hilton, this freedom keeps them getting stronger together and helps prevent having a built-up resentment against each other.
Family Time on Priority
It is not easy, however; Hilton and Rothschild are very occupied in professional lives. Hilton is an entrepreneur running many clothing businesses, while Rothschild is busy in the world of finance. Still, they always share quality time with each other as a family. At the heart of their world are their two little daughters, Lily-Grace and Teddy, whom this couple will create a loving environment for.
“We always make time for family,” Hilton said. “Even with our crazy schedules, we ensure we’re present for our girls and each other. It could be something simple: just a family dinner or the perfect mini-getaway on a weekend. We cherish it all.”
They also believe in trying for some sort of normalcy to the children despite the bright lights surrounding them. In her previous interviews, Hilton has mentioned how much she wants to keep her daughters sheltered from the media. They should grow up like she did: kind, humble, and with a strong work ethic.
Shared Value Building Partnership
Both Hilton and Rothschild belong to powerful, wealthy families, yet they share a determination to ensure that children are raised with a sense of values. “I was brought up in the Hilton family,” she said, “that always stressed hard work, charity, and staying humble regardless of our wealth.” Similarly, the upbringing in the vault of one of the world’s richest families could not stop Rothschild from working hard and meaningfully contributing to his career.
“We both make a conscious effort to teach the kids gratitude,” Hilton said. “You see so many young celebrities caught up in their situations; they forget what the world’s really about. They’re surrounded by all this glitz and glamour, but we believe that, at the end of the day, hard work and being kind mean the most.”
Her and her husband’s philanthropic interests are also values they both share, and they devote their time to causes they believe in. Hilton has been a significant advocate for children’s welfare and education, and Rothschild represents various charitable causes through his family’s foundation.
How They Balance Marriage and Parenthood
Marriage and parenting do not necessarily need to be a balancing act,” Hilton says. She and Rothschild, on the other hand, make sure to find enough time for themselves as a couple. Be it a simple night-out or a longer trip without the kids, the pair understands the importance of nurturing a relationship.
As far as “me time” goes-hanging out with friends or going to the gym-Hilton said, “We make time for date nights, even if it’s just having quiet dinner at home after the kids are in bed. It’s also important to keep that connection as a couple, outside of being parents.”
In a world where most celebrity marriages are put under scrutiny and tests, Hilton and Rothschild have successfully preserved a stable relationship based on respect, love, and shared values. How they discuss their relationship along with what they prioritize is reflective of how much they care for their family as well as for each other.
For advice to other couples, Hilton shared this simple but potent nugget: “Never stop making time for each other. Life gets busy, and being parents can be all-consuming, but it’s important to nurture your relationship. That’s what keeps us strong.”
Future End
As Hilton and Rothschild continue their journey through life as partners and parents, they have stayed committed to one another and dedicated to raising their daughters with the values so important to them. In sharing insights into his marriage, Hilton reveals a deep sense of love and respect that has been key to his lasting happiness. Be it a travel itinerary to jet across the globe or a night in, for Hilton and Rothschild, the love and family come first, and therefore they are the modern symbols of love and partnership.
