According to sources close to the couple, the heiress and her Austrian boyfriend have split up after one year together.
“They are both friends and remain close but with their busy work schedules and the long distance it just got too difficult,” an insider told Life & Style.
Paris, 35, and the handsome millionaire first met at the Cannes Film Festival in May of 2015, where the immediately hit it off.
It wasn’t long after that the former reality star gushed about her new love, calling him her “soulmate” in July via an Instagram post.
“Thomas is my soulmate. I’ve never been happier. He doesn’t like fame, he just wants me. With previous boyfriends I felt there was always an intention, but with him I know it’s all about love,” the blonde beauty reiterated to Closer Magazine.
“He’s very private so he’d never want cameras following us around,” she went on to the British publication.
“I’m so busy with my work that when I do get time at home, I don’t have time to watch reality TV. I like to cook for my boyfriend and watch movies.
But Paris, despite the tough nature of breakups, has a thick skin from her time in the Hollywood lights, and will no doubt go on to find a partner she can start a family with – which is something the star recently admitted was her next goal.
“One day I’d love to get married and have kids,” she quipped. “I see how happy Nicky is. That’s the true meaning of life: to find the love of your life and start a family.”
