Paris and Paris: the wedding off
It was just two weeks ago that Paris Hilton told the world that she and fiancé Paris Latsis would be married within two months. Then in early July the couple jetted to Greece for a month-long vacation. But her Greek odyssey has seemingly come to an abrupt end — with the hotel heiress leaving in a huff.
"She's gone," Latsis' father, Gregory Kasidokostas, tells Star. "They had a tiff and she flew out. My son is much too young to marry. His studies come first."
Sources say that Hilton's eagerness to marry the 22-year-old shipping heir caused the blow-up. On July 15 — just two weeks into their vacation — the young couple returned to Athens before Hilton, 24, split.
Latsis was distraught, but his relatives were quite relieved. "He's in love with her," says an insider, "but his family hopes it's all over. If there's to be a wedding, the family thinks they should wait a few years — but that's not on her agenda."
What has been on her agenda, it seems, is an uncontrollable need to talk up her wedding plans, flash her engagement ring (reportedly worth $5 million) and generally irritate Latsis' well-heeled but very discreet family.
"Older members of the clan are quietly delighted" that the relationship seems over, says a source close to the Latsises.
"They're sick of Paris shooting off her mouth about elaborate wedding plans."
SHE MAKES GREEKS CRINGE
Those plans reportedly include Hilton wanting to be married in London's St. Paul's Cathedral — site of Princess Diana's 1981 wedding to Prince Charles. (She was turned down: Only Royals are allowed to wed in the cathedral.) "She's gone over the top," says a source. "It makes the Greeks cringe."
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
Latsis is studying at UCLA to prepare himself to take over the family's shipping and banking empire, estimated at $7.5 billion. And while his father has been outwardly cordial to his son's American fiancée — he described her as "very sweet, very pleasant indeed!" after their first meeting on July 4 — sources say he's cool to the wedding plan, as is Latsis' mother, Mariana. "She's polite but won't condone the marriage," says a source. "Mariana has avoided being photographed with [Hilton]."
So what happens now? While Paris' rep denies the couple has split up, Star has learned the two aren't speaking. Who knows, perhaps they'll be back together by week's end?
