Paris Hilton shares heartbreaking reason for having her children via surrogate

Paris Hilton has spoken about her decision to welcome her two children via surrogate, with her having now suggested that PTSD and a busy schedule influenced the decision.

The reality TV star, 42, and her husband Carter Reum, also 42, welcomed their first child Phoenix, now 10 months old, earlier this year. Paris subsequently announced the birth of the couple's second child, London, just a few weeks ago.

The socialite - who is the focus of the Peacock show Paris in Love, which recently returned for its second season - has since opened up about parenthood in a new interview. She discussed having used a surrogate for both of her children.

She told Romper: "I just have so much PTSD from what I went through as a teenager." Paris has previously spoken about having attended Provo Canyon School, described as a facility for 'troubled youth,' in Utah and her remark appeared to have been referencing her alleged experience there.

Paris has previously alleged that as a teenager she was physically and emotionally abused during her time at the facility. She made claims about her experience in her documentary This Is Paris, released in 2020, and on other occasions.

The school is said to have been acquired by a different company since 2000. The new owners previously told the Mirror: "We therefore cannot comment on the operations or patient experience prior to this time. [...] We do not condone or promote any form of abuse."

It was suggested to Romper that Paris now has "high anxiety" and didn't feel comfortable carrying her children. She said: "If I'm in a doctor's office, I get a shot, anything, I will literally have a panic attack and I can't breathe." She added: "I just knew that would not be healthy for me or the baby, growing inside of someone who has such high anxiety."

Paris shared that she also decided to welcome her two children via surrogate due to her currently "out of control" schedule. It was even suggested by the outlet in its recent article that her days are often planned a year in advance.

Further commenting about the situation in the interview, Paris said that there wouldn't have been a "right time" to be pregnancy given her schedule. She suggested that it's because there is "no time to do anything" in her life.
