Paris Hilton announces baby son's cute name after welcoming him via surrogacy
Paris Hilton has revealed her newborn son's adorable name, just weeks after welcoming him via surrogacy.
"My beautiful baby boy's name is Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum," she said on her This Is Paris podcast, adding: "Carter and I are so proud to welcome him into the world."
The 41-year-old explained Phoenix stands for "hope, rebirth and transformation" and said she chose his middle name in honour of her late grandfather, Barron Hilton.
Paris said: "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, so I really wanted to honour him by having his name in my first son's name."
Paris also admitted she hopes to have more children with her husband and has already planned their names.

"I've been planning my children’s names for years and years," she explained on her podcast.
Paris stunned fans last month by announcing the birth of her first child with her husband Carter Reum.
The socialite took to social media to make the announcement, showing a sweet snap of the tot's tiny hand gripping her thumb.
Paris captioned the snap: "You are already loved beyond words," before adding a blue heart emoji.
She has since admitted that it's a "dream to be a mother" and said her heart is "exploding with love" for her son.
Paris actually hid her baby’s arrival from her nearest and dearest until just before she broke the news to the public on social media.
Opening up about her decision, she said: "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."
Speaking to Harper’s Bazaar, Paris added: "I want to protect him and to be with him every second. You have this mother instinct that kicks in, which I've never had before."
Whilst her surrogate was in labour in the hospital, Paris went so far to protect her identity that she even opted for a disguise and signed into the hospital using an alias.
