Paris Hilton has given birth to her first child, a son. Hilton, 41, captioned an Instagram photo of her baby’s hand in hers, “You are already loved beyond words.”
Hilton married businessman Carter Reum in 2021 and had kept their child a secret until Tuesday’s post. The baby was born via surrogate, according to a source. Hilton has not yet revealed the name of her child.
The businesswoman and DJ, whose family founded Hilton Hotels, documented her multi-day wedding celebration on a 2022 reality show called “Paris in Love,” during which she and Reum discussed wanting to start a family.
Hilton’s post received numerous positive comments from celebrities and friends. “So happy for you guys!!!” wrote Hilton’s childhood friend, reality star, and businesswoman Kim Kardashian.
“Congratulations to you both, the greatest blessing,” supermodel Naomi Campbell wrote.
“Congratulations!!!” actor Lindsay Lohan tweeted.
“A BABY!!!!! Congratulations!! I am overjoyed for you both!!” wrote model Chrissy Teigen, who just had her third child.
Hilton revealed on her Instagram story in November that she was undergoing IVF treatments, saying she and Reum wanted to enjoy their first year of marriage before starting a family in 2023. “IVF is always a journey for everything, but we’re so lucky that we have so many healthy embryos ready and waiting to be a part of our Cutesy Crew!” she wrote. “As everyone knows, I have a hectic work and travel schedule, but nothing excites me more than becoming a mother in 2023!
Kathy Hilton, Hilton’s mother, spoke about her daughter’s IVF journey on E! News. “It breaks my heart because I know she’s trying so hard, and I always tell her, ‘Just relax,'” she explained. “Many people are struggling, and it doesn’t just happen like that.”
