Paris Hilton reveals name of first child with husband Carter Reum
Paris Hilton revealed her first child’s name after welcoming a baby boy with husband Carter Reum last month. The couple have named the baby Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum.
They welcomed a baby boy via surrogacy. Both Paris and Carter have kept details around their son’s birth private. They did not even tell their respective families about their pregnancy journey. “My entire life has been so public. I’ve never had anything for myself. We decided that we wanted to have this whole experience to ourselves,” Paris told Harper’s Bazaar on why she wanted this to be a secret.
Paris revealed her son’s name in a new episode of her This Is Paris podcast. She said it was “easy and simple” to think of a hypothetical girl’s name, as she wants a daughter called London. “I just think it sounds cute — Paris and London,” she said.
“It’s hard to think of a boy name that’s on that theme. I love to travel and I love exotic names. I think it’s cute to all have city names. I was thinking of all my favourite places — like Ibiza, but that would just be a weird name. Vegas? I love Vegas, but I don’t know. Aspen? No.”
“Over a decade ago, I thought of this amazing name. It’s such a beautiful name, it’s so unique, it’s not only a city but it also has other meanings that are just beautiful,” she added, as she revealed his name, Phoenix.
Paris further said, “Phoenix has a few good pop culture reference points, but more important, it’s the bird that flames out and then rises from the ashes to fly again. I want my son to grow up knowing that disaster and triumph go around and come around in our lives. His middle name is Barron, after my grandfather Barron Hilton. 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.”
