Socialite Barron Hilton II may not be as well-known as his limelight-loving hotel scion siblings, but he’s starting to get noticed on account of his marriage to (and new baby with) gorgeous German royal Tessa Gräfin von Walderdorff

Living in the shadow of your ultra-famous sisters could be a cause for resentment, but it seems Barron Nicholas Hilton II is perfectly happy keeping things low key. After all, when your namesake grandfather had a US$2.5 billion net worth and you share a surname with the fifth-largest hotel chain in the world, it’s easy to understand why you might prefer to maintain something of a “normal life”.

Though he is the less popular Hilton, Barron did not let this dampen him one bit. In fact, if there‘s one thing that he is proud of, it’s being Tessa Gräfin von Walderdorff’s husband and baby daddy. Yes, Barron married a German countess (if her name doesn’t ring royalty, we don’t know what else will) and they welcomed their daughter, Milou Alizée, in March 2020. Maybe this Hilton scion is creeping on his sisters’ fortune, if not fame.

Barron and Tessa‘s love story is no fairy tale, unless you factor in that they met soon after New Year’s Eve in St. Barts, a Caribbean island beloved by celebrities which Tessa visits annually since time immemorial. Both of them were on the island to welcome 2016 and bumped into each other three days later, in a restaurant called Le Ti.

Tessa recalled the moment for Spirit & Flesh magazine like this, “Laying eyes on Barron for the first time was so surreal, like a dream.” This is also where they had their wedding in 2018, just like Tessa‘s parents, and apparently where their child was conceived, according to Barron’s Instagram post.

But Barron’s hobbies do not just include travelling with his wife or supporting her DJ career, did you know that he used to run a foodie account on Instagram called Barron’s Bites?
