Stars, like Nicky Hilton Rothschild, live a luxurious life that is often showcased to the public. However, despite her fame, Nicky shares the same nostalgic love for the '90s as the rest of us. In an exclusive interview with We, the 39-year-old fashion designer confesses that her childhood celebrity crush was Rider Strong from Boy Meets World. Additionally, she idolized famous '90s supermodels such as Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, and Cindy Crawford.
"They were incredibly cool and glamorous," she excitedly expresses. When asked about her most awe-inspiring moment, Rothschild reminisces about meeting the original cast of Beverly Hills, 90210, despite having mingled with countless A-listers alongside her older sister, Paris Hilton. Since her childhood and wild partying days in the 2000s, which involved rubbing shoulders with the likes of Kim Kardashian and Lindsay Lohan, Nicky has settled down. She married James Rothschild in 2015 and now has three children - daughters Lily-Grace, 6, and Teddy, 5, and a son who is 11 months old. Although she may have transitioned into a more settled life, the Hilton hotel heiress still leads a gloriously glamorous existence.
"On Saturday evenings, you will find me at my rural retreat, wrapped in a comfortable robe, embracing the warm glow of the fireplace while enjoying quality time with my loved ones," she reveals to Us. She goes on to describe the delightful activities she partakes in with her daughters, such as indulging in the scrumptious art of baking cupcakes and engaging in a lively game of Scrabble the following day.
When the day draws to a close, Nicky has honed the art of unwinding with a flawless daily routine.
"Following a lengthy day, I find solace in a rejuvenating hot bath, idly browsing the internet or indulging in Netflix," she reveals.
