Paris then moved to Brighton, where she was residing with her grandma to complete her studies. Unfortunately, her grandmother died at the age of 54, which made her feel that 'life is too short' and it ultimately inspired her to come out.
Though Paris lost her grandma, she is grateful that she got the chance to meet her long-lost grandpa, a lifetime DailyMail reader and a huge fan of her. On 19 February 2014, she expressed her joy of meeting her grandpa on his 70th birthday for the first time via her Twitter account.
Apart from that, Paris also shares an intimate bond with her mom but has not talked to her dad for ten years. As she confirmed in a tweet on 12 December 2017, her dad refused to respect her as a woman after her transformation from male to trans-female.

Paris Lees is open about the fact that she is a bisexual trans-woman and a feminist. However, her journey to 'a normal life' was full of hindrances.
Before her transition, she struggled to live as a feminine gay male. So she was referred to Charing Cross Gender Identity Clinic to receive the hormone treatment.
Finally, in 2012, the Hucknall-born activist underwent through the facial feminization surgery. Subsequently, she completely transformed herself to a trans-woman.
After her transition, Paris met her first boyfriend. Not only that, she and her then-boyfriend were also living together in East London until 2014.

From dating a guy for three years and breaking up with him to openly joking about not needing a boyfriend as long as she has her make-up artist Benjamin, the transition seems to have ridden her out of the 'bullied,' 'tormented' past life.

Although she hasn't found any success in relationships with her past boyfriends including a Scottish boyfriend, she isn't afraid to date around to find the ideal husband candidate.
However, as of 2018, Paris has kept quiet about her dating life which makes it hard to speculate whether she is married or not.
