Two years ago, in 2024, former reality TV stars and lifelong friends Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie reunited for a special 20-year anniversary of their hit show 'The Simple Life'. The fashion designer and socialite, who were both 44 years old at the time, rose to fame in the early 2000s on the series, which documented their hilarious attempts at completing unexpected jobs away from their privileged lifestyles.
For the reunion, titled 'Paris & Nicole: The Encore', Hilton and Richie tried to produce a once-in-a-lifetime operatic performance based on their self-coined catchphrase "Sanasa" from their past reality show. Despite initial hesitation from their parents, the duo's comedic antics and chemistry captivated viewers once again.
However, Richie has since confirmed that she has no plans to return to unscripted television in the future. "It felt like something that we both wanted to do, and that was so fun. But I have no plans for that in the future," she explained in a recent interview. The Simple Life aired for five seasons between 2003 and 2007, first on Fox and then on E!.
