Twenty years have passed since socialites Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie spent a month at a family farm in Arkansas for the first season of their reality show. Now, their lives have taken on new dimensions with husbands, kids, businesses, and responsibilities. But their bond remains strong.

Reuniting for a Special Opera Project

For their televised reunion, these lifelong friends joined forces to create an opera out of their "iconic" childhood song, "Sanasa." Their three-part special, "Paris & Nicole: The Encore," is set to premiere on Peacock on December 12.

When Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie are together, it's as if they've returned to their teenage years. Getting up every day and laughing with a friend while calling it work is a unique and enjoyable experience. As Hilton says, "When Nicole and I are together, I just feel like a teenager again."

Richie adds, "Getting to do something like this together, creating an opera, is a whole new adventure. We're excited to see where it takes us."

The Challenges and Excitement

Do they know how to produce an opera? The answer is no. But that doesn't deter them. As Richie notes, "‘The Simple Life’ has apparently been having a moment on Tiktok, and our kids have been watching clips. That was a big part of why I decided to do this reunion."

Hilton, who has two kids under 2, shares that her son Phoenix and daughter London "loved" attending the "Sanasapera." Phoenix has even learned "Sanasa" and they do it together all the time.

Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton upped the glam factor in their new three-part reunion special. Phoenix takes music classes with his sister, and there's a cute connection with Ashley Benson's daughter, Aspen. "They're the same age, and they're so cute together," Hilton says. "I'm excited to see the lifelong memories they'll create."

The Realities of Motherhood

The moms admit that motherhood has its challenges. For Hilton, it's the frequent travel for work. For Richie, it's "all the driving around LA."

When asked how they would react if their kids decided to film a reality show one day, Richie says, "Your 20s are about taking adventures and trying new things. I look back on 'The Simple Life' and I've changed, but I would be supportive. I think you've got to take chances."

Hilton, who notes that Richie's kids are "so sweet" and "don't get in trouble," says she would also be supportive of her own kids doing anything that makes them happy. But she hopes they won't want to do a reality show.
