Chris Zylka Life

Christopher Michael Settlemire (born May 9, 1985), known professionally as Chris Zylka, is an American actor and model.

He is best known for his television roles as Jake Armstrong in The CW's The Secret Circle (2011-2012) and Tom Garvey in HBO's The Leftovers.

He has appeared in films Shark Night (2011), The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) and Freaks of Nature (2015).

Early life

Zylka was born and raised in Howland Township, Ohio, U.S. He took his mother's maiden name, Zylka, as a stage name. Zylka was raised by his mother and he has never met his biological father.

He graduated from Howland High School in 2003. Zylka studied art at the University of Toledo for two years, but dropped out to care for his maternal grandfather when he suddenly became ill. His grandfather is from Ukraine.

At the age of 19, he relocated to Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting. He was homeless for six months upon arriving to Los Angeles and lived in his car in the parking lot of a 7-Eleven in Burbank. Zylka described this time in his life by saying: "For about six months I lived in a ‘94 Ford Probe behind a 7-11 parking lot. I wound up leaving it in the lot because it wouldn't start anymore, and it just kind of became my home. I think that's where my naivety helped or I was just being stupid! I had this adolescent mind telling me everything was going to be okay, and it was. I’ve been very fortunate." Zylka began working at restaurants, where he was discovered by manager and acting coach Jon Simmons.

Personal life

Zylka dated actress Lucy Hale for nine months, and the couple split in September 2012. He was engaged to model Hanna Beth Merjos in April 2014. The couple called off the engagement and broke up in early 2015. Zylka became engaged to heiress and media personality Paris Hilton in January 2018. He proposed to her with a ring worth US$2 million during a vacation in Aspen, after one year of dating. The couple called off the engagement in November 2018.

He has several tattoos, including a tattoo that says "Mom" in a heart, "an angel gone bad" and a gorilla.

Paris Hilton's aspiration to be a mother has come true. The 41-year-old heiress and husband Carter Reum welcomed their first child, a boy, on Jan. 24 by survivate. Hilton announced the news alongside a sweet snapshot of her holding the baby's hand on Instagram, although they have yet to reveal the name. Although she's already shared information about the couple's IVF journey and desire to have children, she hasn't shared a concrete date. Hilton and Reum, a venture capitalist and entrepreneur, have known one another for more than 15 years, but they only reconnected in late 2019. The pair, who recently celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary, fell in love as their friendship turned romantic. The two couples got engaged in February 2021 on a secluded island after more than a year of dating. They married in November in a lavish fairytale wedding later that year. "You're the first one who tore down the walls I built around my heart and opened up my heart in a way that I didn't know was possible," Hilton said of Reum.
