The spawn of ParisSquared could come sooner than we think:
Hotel heiress Paris Hilton is planning to start having children soon after her wedding to Paris Latsis - on the advice of her future father-in-law.
The blonde beauty, who accepted Greek shipping heir Latsis' marriage proposal last month, has met with the billionaire's father Grigoris Kasidokostas, and he's thrilled to welcome her into his family. Kasidokostas, who first met Hilton in December on a family skiing vacation in Gstaad, Switzerland, says, "I love Paris like a daughter. (When I met her) I understood why my son is so crazy about her. She is not only beautiful, but a very sweet and kind girl. The whole family is thrilled with the news."
Hilton adds of Kasidokostas, "He loves me and is so happy for us. He wants to be a grandpa soon, and he has told us to have kids when we are young. I promise we will not disappoint him."

You Said
I understand Grandpa's desire to have heirs, but is she so charming in person that she settled any qualms he may have had about her video 'escapades' from the not-so-distant past?

Who is going to carry those babies for them? I can't see her pregnant or in labor/delivery or as a MOM. Of course, the nanny will raise the kids but who will HAVE them? Maybe one of you younger women could volunteer--for a great price, of course.

DON'T hold your breath waiting for the Paris Hilton-Paris Latsis wedding. During the couple's recent jaunt to Greece, the groom-to-be never even discussed marriage with his father, Grigoris Kasidokostas.
"If he hasn't discussed this with his own father, how serious could it be?" Kasidokostas asked The Post's Chris Erikson. "That should tell you the whole story."
Latsis — who's 22, not 27, as has sometimes been reported — "is much too young to even consider a subject like marriage," said Kasidokostas, the longtime mayor of the affluent seaside town of Vouliagmeni, outside Athens.
What's more, recent reports that Latsis plunked down $12 million for a Beverly Hills nest for the lovebirds and bought Hilton a $5 million ring are ridiculous, he said.
"All of it is lies," Kasidokostas declared.
He noted that his son doesn't have the cash, as the $7.5 billion Latsis family fortune is firmly in control of Latsis' mother, Mariana, and uncle, Spiro.
Also nonsense was a report that Kasidokostas told Hilton he wants grandchildren as soon as possible. "Every father wants grandchildren but only under the right circumstances," Latsis' dad said.
As for Kathy Hilton's recent announcement that the Hiltons would soon head to Greece to meet Latsis' clan, Kasidokostas said it came as news to him.
"That was the first I'd heard of it," he said. "I've never met her mother."
Hilton spokesman Rob Shuter insisted that Paris and Paris are serious about getting married, but he added, "They could be engaged for a while. They're not rushing down the aisle."
Kasidokostas, who speaks only rudimentary English, spoke through a translator, his longtime friend Marijo Gillis, a New Yorker who founded Welfare for Animals Global, Inc., a group that lobbies for animal rights in Greece.
The father denied his son is the jet-setting playboy depicted in the press: "He's a very, very good boy . . . a gentle, down-to-earth boy . . . not a playboy by any stretch of the imagination. He doesn't have a lot of experience with women."
Kasidokostas isn't dead set against his son's marrying Hilton — if that's what he wants a few years down the line. "I would have no problem with it," he said. "If Paris Hilton really loves my son, she'll have to be patient."
