Now, at the age of 42, Paris’ dream of being a mom has finally been realized. She introduced her new baby boy to the world on her podcast, “This Is Paris.” She revealed the young boy’s name is Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum. Paris explains the baby boy’s name in her memoir, saying it’s meant to echo hers.
In the clip, she introduced her new baby son and explained his unique name.
The socialite mentioned that the moniker fits with the theme of location-based names. She picked Phoenix because it has numerous pop-culture associations while also having a basis in mythology. Paris explained that she wanted her son to know that he can always choose to rise above adversity, just like the phoenix from myth rises from the ashes.

Paris also explained the boy’s middle name, saying Barron was an homage to her late grandfather. Paris mentioned that her granddad, Barron Hilton, was one of her greatest inspirations and mentors. The two shared a special bond, and she hoped to pay tribute to his teachings by commemorating his life through her son’s name.

Paris has wanted to be a mother for a long time. Through rocky relationships that sadly failed, her hope of becoming a mom remained constant. Now, after years of hoping and dreaming, the socialite finally holds her firstborn in her arms, and she’s ecstatic to share him with the world.
Paris shared a clip from her podcast on her Instagram. In the clip, she introduced her new baby son and explained his unique name. The clip is also an excerpt from her memoir, meant to expound on the public figure we all know, and offer readers some more insight into her personal life. She read:
“Phoenix has a few good pop culture reference points, but more importantly 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 throughout our lives. And that this should give us great hope for the future.”
Her Instagram had an audio clip from her podcast paired with text that transcribed her words. She captioned the post simply with her new son’s name and urged followers to learn more by listening to her podcast. She also spoke about how happy she is to raise her son with Carter in an interview.
When the time came to go to the hospital, Paris donned a brunette wig to hide her characteristic platinum-blonde hair.
The Hilton heiress raved about her husband, saying he makes an excellent father. Paris and Carton are on cloud nine together, and the Heiress mentioned that the two of them are incredibly excited to be starting this new journey of parenthood together.

Paris also admitted that she and Carter kept the arrival of their baby boy a secret from everyone, including her family. The Heiress mentioned that no one knew about the birth, stating, “Not even my mom, my sisters, my best friend knew until he was over a week old.”
How Paris Managed to Keep the Baby Secret Even from Her Relatives
When the time came for young Phoenix to be born, no one even knew Paris and Carter were expecting a baby except them and the surrogate. When the time came for the baby to come into the world, Paris had a full-proof game plan to keep their child secret for as long as possible.
When the time came to go to the hospital, Paris donned a brunette wig to hide her characteristic platinum-blonde hair. After Phoenix was born and cleared to leave the hospital, Paris and Carter brought him to their home, completely incognito. The socialite explained her decision to keep the birth private:
“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.”

Before Paris and Carter brought Phoenix home, they even dismissed their staff, saying they would be painting the house for the next few days. For the first while, it was only Carter, Paris, and Phoenix. The Heiress gushed about how she spent the first few days holding her son close to her chest and singing him lullabies.
Paris mentioned it was her dream to raise a baby, and holding Phoenix made her feel whole.
She only published the news once it seemed like it was about to break, with or without her input. So, she made an Instagram post announcing the birth of her very first child. She confessed that her own family only found out right before the rest of the world did.

Although Paris chose to keep her son’s birth to have privacy, she also did it to protect her baby from the press. She knew news agencies would scramble to find out every detail about the boy, and her “mother instinct” told her to keep him out of the public eye as long as possible.
Her Husband Made Her Dream of Becoming a Mom Happen
Instead of going the traditional route, Paris and Carter decided to try in vitro fertilization (IVF). They started the process during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, which allowed Paris to take time off from her busy schedule. She said:
“Usually I’m on a plane 250 days out of the year, and let’s just get all of the eggs stocked and ready,’ and we have tons of them just waiting.”
