Paris Hilton’s baby has a name! Since announcing the surprise baby in January 2023, Paris and her husband, Carter Reum, have been tight-lipped about the details surrounding their little one. Page Six reported that she finally revealed the newborn’s name on her This is Paris podcast.
“My beautiful baby boy’s name is Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum,” Paris announced. “And Carter and I are so proud to welcome him into the world.”
The name reveal comes as Paris and Carter have been slowly debuting their little bundle of joy to the world. With her show, Paris in Love, recently renewed for a second season on Peacock, we can expect to get an even bigger glimpse into her new life as a mom very soon.
Before Paris and Carter decided to share their parenthood journey with the world, they kept things as private as possible. The new parents kept the surrogate pregnancy a secret all the way up until Phoenix entered the world, surprising fans with an Instagram picture of her hand holding Phoenix’s. They even kept the pregnancy news a secret from their families.
“My entire life has been so public,” Paris explained in a recent interview. “I’ve never had anything for myself. We decided that we wanted to have this whole experience to ourselves.”
Now that baby Phoenix is on board, Paris and Carter are already thinking about the next steps for growing their family. She recently completed her seventh egg retrieval, and she plans on keeping a theme with the naming convention of her kids.
“I’ve been planning my children’s names for years and years,” Paris explained, adding that she wants to name her kids after different cities. So, she wants her future daughter’s name to be London.
The Paris in Love star explained that her first son’s full name, Phoneix Barron Hilton Reum, carries more significant weight than just being a city in Arizona. She said on her podcast that Phoenix stands for “hope, rebirth, and transformation.” Meanwhile, the middle name Barron pays homage to her late grandfather, Barron Hilton.
Paris explained, “He was always my mentor, and I looked up to my grandfather so much, and we were so close, and I miss him every day, so I really wanted to honor him by having his name in my first son’s name.”
