Paris Hilton has shared the first pictures of her adorable newborn son Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum and opened up about her decision to welcome him via surrogacy.
The 41-year-old surprised fans last month by announcing the birth of her first child with her 42-year-old husband Carter Reum.
The happy couple welcomed their bundle of joy via surrogacy.
Paris has now revealed they named their son Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum.
‘My beautiful baby boy’s name is Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum. And Carter and I are so proud to welcome him into the world,’ she said on her ‘This Is Paris’ podcast Wednesday.
Phoenix stands for ‘hope, rebirth and transformation’ and Paris said she chose his middle name in honour of her late grandfather, Barron Hilton.
In a new picture of the family-of-three, Paris lovingly cradled her son while Carter placed a tender kiss on his wife’s forehead.
Phoenix looked adorable in a white and blue baby grow and matching hat.
Another image from the photo session showed Phoenix napping on his mom’s shoulder, with his face directed toward the camera.
‘I’m so obsessed with my little angel and when he looks into my eyes, I just melt,’ Hilton gushed in an interview with Glamor UK published Thursday. ‘He’s such a good baby.’
She opened up to the publication about her decision to welcome her son via surrogacy and admitted she was ‘so scared of childbirth’.
Paris said: “I’m just so scared, I think, again, leading back to Provo of even being in a doctor’s office, just all of that. The shots, the IVs that they put in.
‘When I was in The Simple Life, I had to be in a room when a woman was giving birth and that traumatised me as well. But I want a family so bad, it’s just the physical part of doing it.
‘I’m just so scared… childbirth and death are the two things that scare me more than anything in the world.’
Paris also said that she had frozen her eggs on the advice of friend Kim Kardashian and had been planning to have a baby on her own.
Paris has admitted that she hopes to have more children with her husband and has already planned their names.
She wants to name a future daughter ‘London’ and is hoping to have a theme of naming her children after different cities.
