Paris Hilton is an heiress who was raised in a world of fame and fortune. Her father was a real-estate developer, while her mother was a socialite.

Paris was a teenager when she attended an alleged boarding school in Utah that was filled with sexual abuse and other mistreatment. Recently, Paris opened up about her time there in a documentary.

Paris Hilton Says Her Mom Didn’t Know About Her Son Until He Was Over A Week Old

Recently on her mother Kathy Hilton's podcast episode, Paris revealed that she had delayed telling her mom about the birth of her son Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum until after he had been one week old. Despite being very public about most aspects of her life, Paris has always maintained that this significant part of her family history should remain private.

After months of speculation, Paris and her husband Carter Reum finally revealed last month that they had welcomed a son via surrogate. They kept the news private until one week after his birth - including Paris' mother and close friends.

Hotel mogul Nancy de Borja said she and her husband were able to savor the joy of their son's birth in total privacy. "That was an incredibly special time for me and him," she reflected.

However, it was also a moment that was bittersweet as Paris has always struggled with infertility. According to Us Weekly, the Y2K star had an extensive relationship with DJ Chris Zylka before she began dating Reum in November 2019.

After one year of marriage, Paris and her husband are finally parents! She shared his name on Instagram and on her podcast, as well as reading aloud from a portion of her upcoming memoir that explains why they chose Phoenix for their son's name.

Last month, Paris gave birth to her baby through a surrogate and revealed on her podcast that she had to wait one week to tell her mother because she felt embarrassed sharing the news with others. After sharing this momentous news with others, however, Paris felt an immense sense of pride and accomplishment.

Paris and her husband had been struggling to conceive during her pregnancy. To help them, both she and Reum underwent IVF treatments in an effort to become parents.

She overcame her struggles to conceive and became pregnant after the COVID-19 pandemic hit Hollywood in October 2021. After giving birth to Phoenix, she and her husband quickly bonded over their new son as they began planning for a dream family.

Paris Hilton Says Her Mom’s Heart Was Broken

Paris Hilton is renowned for her extravagant lifestyle, yet she also has a dark past. As a teenager, Paris spent time in a mental health treatment center and that experience continues to shape her today.

She's received treatment to help her cope with the trauma, yet the memories will always linger in her heart. Recently she opened up about the abuse she endured at a behavioral modification school in Utah and says it still affects her daily life today.

Although she's done much to combat the stigma surrounding mental health, she still needs to strive to ensure that her past doesn't get in the way of her future. That is why she chose surrogacy for her son - so that no bad memories from Provo Canyon School would resurface.

Her family is very strict, so it was understandable that she wanted to keep the news of her pregnancy under wraps until he had completed one week. Although Carter Reum and she both want to start a family, they don't want their child to experience any of the same traumas that she did.

To ensure this success, they were strict with her regarding all matters related to the baby's care. She wasn't allowed to share pictures of him until after one week had passed and any videos about his birth should not be posted online.

No matter how challenging her family's demands may be, she has managed to remain strong and get through it all. Through her platform for fighting children's rights and advocating for safety, she's been able to let go of the trauma experienced while in a mental health treatment center.

She's found a wonderful partner in Carter Reum, and they've already begun the process of starting a family together. They are currently pursuing IVF treatment with plans to have their first child by 2021.

According to Paris, this apology has made all the difference in their relationship, according to Marie Claire magazine.

According to TV Shows Ace, the heiress has made it her mission to repair relations with all her family members. This includes her mother Kathy Hilton and father Rick Hilton as well as brothers Barron Hilton II and Nicky Hilton. Furthermore, she's working towards being more open with friends such as Lindsay Lohan.

The 41-year-old actress is opening up about her sexuality for the first time. Although she used to consider herself an asexual, that has all changed now that her husband Carter Reum stands by her side.

In the upcoming issue of Harper's Bazaar, Paris discusses her relationship with Reum and states that they have been "really content" since starting dating in 2019. They tied the knot in November 2021 and welcomed their first son through surrogate in January 2023.

Paris and Reum have taken a long road to parenthood. They started their fertility journey with in vitro fertilization in mid-2020, but ultimately chose for a surrogate to carry their son. Despite some obstacles along the way, both are thrilled about welcoming a new addition to their family.

On January 24, she shared her first photo of her son on Instagram and now the name: Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum!

Paris revealed to People that she selected the name a decade ago and it has special meaning for her. Additionally, the pun is a play on her upcoming memoir.

On the podcast episode, Paris expressed her delight at having their son. She and Reum have taken great care to preserve every detail associated with his birth - even going so far as to leave some of their closest friends and family members at home for the night.

Paris Hilton Says Her Mom Is “Over the Moon”

The House of Wax heiress has embarked on a journey to parenthood. She and her husband Carter Reum tied the knot in November 2021 and welcomed their son through surrogate in January 2023.

Paris and Reum both began their careers as models, and have been together for over a decade. In 2019, they were photographed sharing intimate glances before going Instagram official.

Paris revealed in an interview with Harper's Bazaar that she struggled with her sexuality as a teenager. She would feel uncomfortable around men, but eventually accepted herself as an asexual and began creating the life she desired.

Paris' relationship with Reum grew stronger, leading her to consider whether she could conceive. She began researching fertility treatments and consulting a doctor about it.

Thankfully, her doctor recommended in vitro fertilization (IVF), which she began midway through 2020. Ultimately, Reum and she became pregnant in December 2020 and named their son Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum.

Though her parents weren't informed until after one week, Kathy Hilton and Rick Hilton are thrilled with their latest grandchild. In a statement for PEOPLE magazine, Kathy expressed her delight at welcoming their newborn into their lives.

Last month, Paris delighted her fans when she shared a photo of herself holding onto the baby's hand on social media. With the caption: "You are already loved beyond words."

On a podcast episode a month after her son's birth, the socialite revealed the name she chose for him ten years prior in tribute to her late hotel magnate grandfather Barron Hilton.

Entertainment Tonight reports that Paris feels like her life has become "picture perfect" since becoming a mother. She and her husband are prioritizing their son above everything else and taking pleasure in every moment as new parents.

Now that Paris has her son, Paris says she is "feeling so content" and has been making sure to spend as much time with him as possible. She enjoys being a mom and is immensely proud of her little one.

Although the heiress and her husband have expressed their desire to have children, they were reluctant to announce it until now. The 41-year-old DJ and her entrepreneur husband had insisted that they wait until they felt ready before making any public announcements about their plans.
