Last July, Nicky Hilton married British heir James Rothschild in a royal-inspired fairytale wedding at Kensington Palace. It probably cost the Hiltons and Rothschilds millions and millions of dollars to rent out that venue, but Nicky got her fairytale wedding and now she’s producing an heir. Yes, six months after the wedding, sources are telling People Magazine that Nicky’s expecting the first little Hilton-Rothschild child.
One chic baby is on the way! Heiress and style maven Nicky Hilton Rothschild is pregnant with her first child, PEOPLE has exclusively learned.
“Nicky is very excited to become a mom,” an insider tells PEOPLE. “She is feeling great!”
After an August 2014 engagement while boating on Italy’s Lake Como, Hilton, 32, wed banker James Rothschild during a lavish ceremony at Kensington Palace in London last July. The pair were recently spotted browsing at Pottery Barn Kids at The Grove in Los Angeles.
Says the insider, “They’ve just begun telling close friends and family. Nicky and James are over the moon!”
Before serving as maid of honor at her sister’s wedding, Paris Hilton told PEOPLE the couple were the ultimate match made in heaven.
“They’re so loyal and they’re so in love. They’re like a prince and princess,” she said before the nuptials. I think it’s important to find someone you trust and love and spent the rest of your life. I think that’s the meaning of life: to get married and have a family.”
If I’m being honest, I never really got this pairing at all. While Nicky is technically an heiress (plus she has her own stuff going on), the Rothschilds are a BIG deal in the UK. They are very, very rich and thought of as a pretty classy family. The Hiltons are – by any standard – not at the Rothschilds’ “level.” So with that being said, this might be a real love match? God knows. But this baby will take the two dynasties next-level. The Hiltons and the Rothschilds will forever be associated now. And congrats to Nicky and James!

I honest to God don’t want to seem mean, but something about his face truly frightens me. Like, he genuinely looks like he harms people. I’m sorry.
Yeah, he looks creepy.
its the inbreeding….sorry, alleged inbreeding.
the rothschild family reminds me of a v.c. andrews book.
LDUB, I watched The Flowers In The Attic, last year and then started reading some of those VC Andrews books. This guy really does look creepy undercover serial killer(ish) watch me while I sleep so soundly in my nice comfy bed.
I can see Nicky married to a good guy. She’s always seemed like the less insufferable of that family of hers. Especially the younger sister.
Their body language in pictures is crazy.
If you look at him through money covered glasses, he looks much better. I think Nikki was wearing hers when they met.
Yep! Do not go in his basement, you just know there’s a “quiet” room down there.
His ears, too.
Like you said, I don’t want to seem mean, but yeesh.
I actually think he is rather good looking, in a British way. He looks similar to many British politicians. Maybe they are all related.
He looks like whichever of Tom Hanks’ sons played a serial killer in Dexter.
Nicky is the best of that whole Hilton lot. Good for her.
That’s not saying much.
Hmmm, I don’t want to speak for the whole of the UK but I’m pretty sure there’s nothing classy about the Rothschilds. They seem exactly on a level with the Hiltons to me.
The Rothschilds are old money, their great virtue was to get loaded several generations before the Hiltons did.
Well I think Nicky has long been the classier of the Hilton sisters. I think she even got an education (?) at some point. Paris could have never hooked a Rothschild. But then again I doubt Paris would want one. Her taste in men always ran to skeevy rich, not classy rich
No, Nikki just hid it better.
Bingo. She’s just as stupid and venal as Paris if not more so, she just got out of the limelight sooner.
Haha yes I suppose I should have said she “appeared” to be classier. At least recently.
She didn’t get out of the limelight so much as she just wasn’t that interesting and the limelight never really stuck for her.
Good lord! They look like each other!
Congratulations to Nicky for snagging herself a “man of quality” despite the fact that her family name makes them titter at all the very best of garden parties.
that’s what I was going to say! they look like siblings, it’s frightening
That is considered to be a good sign.
^too funny!
The Rothschilds are not just a big deal in the UK, they are a big deal in the whole world. They have been in banking since the 1700s. Goggle them. You will uncover a wholeeee lot.
The Rothschild are a big deal world wide. Not just UK. In a nutshell, they are the world’s bankers.
His branch of the Rothschilds isn’t as rich as the other branches.
On the scandal front, his branch of the Rothschilds and the Hiltons are well matched.
If it’s anything like the parents that baby will have huge ears, dead eyes and no brains
lol
Yes, that’s it… I kept looking at them trying to figure it out… and it’s the dead eyes- they both have them. Poor child.
Nicky doesn’t bother me, she is not a famewhore like Paris.
This is surprising, considering I have not seen a picture of her with her husband since the wedding. But good for them.
I see Nicky is locking this down quickly.
He looks like a little boy.
THANK YOU! He does look like a little boy. Maybe that’s what bugs me about him – all puppy fat, no grown-man masculinity. But, my God – Nicky has great legs. Vacant stare, but gorgeous legs.
Yes, quite a baby-face.
Excellent, now Rick and Kathy will have a grandchild they can ruin just like they did with most of their kids.
Oh my. So she locked up a Rothschild. Good luck, darling. They are far, far more powerful than the Hiltons could ever be. And quite well-known to keep it in the family. I hope that baby isn’t named Rosemary.
Does anyone else notice that women’s ages are always listed and men’s are usually not listed? In this story, for example. Why are we defined by our age (celebrated, shamed, judged either way) and men are seemingly not connected to theirs at all? Unfair. Boo. And I’m “young” btw, but it’s always bothered me to be defined by age in society.
It’s not actually “that” expensive to rent the Kensington Palace Orangery for a wedding. Prices start at about $14,500 per hour. So a lot, but not millions. And anyone can hire that space or others in Kensington Palace.

I always assumed he was gay, she’s a beard who is expected to produce and heir and a spare, but they live separate lives. Am I the only one? He pings my gardar big time.
Do tell…interesting, is there more?
I am having a little chuckle. I read “expecting her first child 6 months after the wedding” as she was knocked up at the wedding and having a baby in 6 months. I thought “hmmm, so she was 3 months along when they got married”. I was so uninterested that I didn’t read the entire piece. While zooming through DM I saw it again, and my bran clicked on.
They got married in the restaurant attracted to the palace. Normally you’d take your Granny there for high tea and cake. You can see their hire rates of their website, its not expensive in London terms.
Kathy, Kim and Kyle’s Mother would be so proud! They said she was all about marrying well. I personally would be very frightened to get that close to the Rothschild’s with their evil money, power and iron clad prenups.
So when I see the name Rothschild, all I can think about are the conspiracy theories. Marrying a Hilton doesn’t help with not imagining the conspiracy theories.
