Early in her career, Paris had a handful of relationships that drew attention, but her relationship with professional poker player Rick Salomon was one of her first that received a lot of coverage, in part due to the release of the 2003 sex tape, 1 Night In Paris. The infamously leaked sex tape gave the heiress trust issues, she told Hollywood Life in September 2020. “When the tape [with Rick] happened, that just made me never able to trust another man again. That [sex tape] was the biggest regret of my life, and I wish I had never met him,” she said.Paris spoke about how the experience affected her in her 2020 documentary This Is Paris. “That was a private moment with a teenage girl not in her right head space,” she said. “But everyone was watching it and laughing, like it’s something funny.”Besides Paris, Rick has had an extensive romantic history of his own and has been married to multiple A-list celebrities. Shortly after he split from Paris, he married actress Shannon Doherty in 2002, but the couple annulled their marriage nine months later. He also married Pamela Anderson on two separate occasions. The couple married for the first time in 2007, only to divorce in 2008. The couple married again in January 2014, only for Pamela to file for divorce in July 2014.Jason Shaw

The first time Paris got engaged it was to model Jason Shaw. Paris and Jason were engaged from 2002 to 2003, and they even reportedly re-sparked their old flames together back in 2010, according to Us Weekly. When the pair were rumored to be getting back together in 2010, a source close to the couple revealed to E! that the pair were still friends after breaking up. “Paris has always loved Jason and cared about him deeply. But when they were together she was just a kid and not ready for such a commitment,” the source said at the time.
