The childhood friends, who starred onThe Simple Life from 2003 to 2007, have had their fair share of ups and downs throughout the years. Hilton and Richie infamouslyhad a falling outin 2005, which played out on the show and reportedly inspiredHilton’s 2006 song “Jealousy.”
The pair have since mended their friendship. However,Simple Lifefansshouldn’t expect a revival anytime soon— if ever.
“That show was what it was, and it was so much fun,” Richie toldEntertainment Weeklyin 2020. “But that concept wouldn’t even work in this moment because, remember, we’d leave our lives for a month, and we didn’t have any phones. No phones in this day and age just doesn’t work!”
