Paris Hilton has revealed that Kim Kardashian inspired her decision to freeze her eggs.

Speaking with The Sunday Times, the 39-year-old recalled having a conversation with the KKW Beauty mogul about the procedure a few years ago and being “inspired” by it.

“I had a really amazing conversation with Kim [Kardashian] about it," she said. "She introduced me to her doctor, and I was so inspired by her to actually do it.”

"I think every woman should do it because you can really control it and not have that ‘Oh my God, I need to get married,’" Hilton added.

Kim Kardashian previously revealed that she froze her eggs after giving birth to her and Kanye West’s eldest child North.

“After my daughter was born, I still continued to do the process of freezing my eggs," she explained in a 2019 Instagram video. "I was able to get pregnant through that with my son Saint, and then I had two embryos left."

When Hilton is ready to become a mother, the Simple Life star said she hopes she has a daughter, because she is “obsessed” with the idea of having a “mini-me”.

“I’m obsessed with dressing them up and having a mini-me," Hilton told the outlet, adding that she would also be open to twins "because then you get both [girl and boy] at once."

The reality TV star also reflected on her relationship with Carter Reum, who she believes will be the “best dad” one day.

“Finally, I’ve found my perfect match, someone I want to spend the rest of my life with and have a family with," she said.

According to the Mayo Clinic, the method of egg freezing, otherwise known as mature oocyte cryopreservation, allows a woman to get pregnant later.

The process sees eggs harvested from the uterus unfertilised and stored for later use.
