Aside from being a pop culture icon, model and businesswoman, Paris Hilton is also the mother two kids under 2 years old.
Hilton and husband, Carter Reum, welcomed son Phoenix Barron in January 2023, and daughter London Marilyn months later, in November 2023.
While on TODAY with Hoda & Jenna in November 2023, Hilton said that motherhood has brought a sense of peace to her busy life.
“I just feel so at peace, just so happy (and) so grateful for my husband and this beautiful family and life that we’re building together and I couldn’t imagine anything else,” she said.
Read on to learn what else Hilton has said about raising two toddlers.
Phoenix Barron Hilton-Reum
No one knew that Hilton and her husband, Carter Reum, were expecting their first child together, not even their loved ones.
“I just feel like my life has been so public and I just wanted something for me,” Hilton told TODAY with Hoda & Jenna in March 2023. “I didn’t want the media and people online just speaking about my son even before he was here on this earth.”
Privacy was so important, Hilton told Harper’s Bazaar, that when her surrogate was in labor, the reality star checked into the hospital under a different name and in disguise.
In January 2023, Hilton shared the first photo of her son, showing only his little hand curled around her thumb.
“You are already loved beyond words,” she wrote.
In February 2023, Hilton discussed her son’s “unique” name on her “This is Paris” podcast.
“I love that it’s not only a city but also has other meanings that are just beautiful,” she said. “I really believe that names have power and we wanted a name for our baby boy that was uniquely remarkable.”
“It stands for hope, rebirth and transformation,” said Hilton.
Phoenix’s middle name Barron is for her late grandfather who died in 2019.
In July 2023, Hilton celebrated Phoenix’s half-birthday by sharing Instagram photos.
“This Barbie is a Mom,” she wrote on the slideshow. “My baby boy Phoenix is 6 months old today. He is my world and makes my life feel so complete. Can’t wait for all the magical memories we will create together! Mommy loves you so much angel baby.”
In January 2024, Hilton threw an epic party with her celebrity friends to celebrate son Phoenix’s first birthday.
The reality star and entrepreneur shared photos and videos from Phoenix’s birthday bash on her Instagram story Jan. 27, 2024.
Before the festivities began, the mom of two uploaded a video of a blue and orange balloon display being set up in a backyard as “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King” from “The Lion King” blasted in the background.
But, it seems another classic Disney animation, “The Little Mermaid,” might’ve inspired the theme for Phoenix’s party. In the next clip, she gave a closer look at the birthday decorations, which included a massive archway with “Phoenix” on it, fish balloons and clear balloons that said “#slivingmom.”
Beneath the post, she revealed that the specific theme of son’s party was “Sliving Under the Sea.”
The birthday boy finally made an appearance in the following story. The proud mom, who wore a star tiara, matching necklace, a white Chanel purse and a blue ballgown fit for Cinderella, held her son as she gushed about him turning 1 years old. Phoenix looked adorable in a pageboy hat, white collared Fendi shirt, khaki pants and white sneakers. The mother and son duo also sported matching white sunglasses.
“I’m so excited. I’ve thrown amazing birthday parties my whole life, so to now be able to do this for my little boy is just such a special memory,” Hilton explained in the video.
In a previous interview with TODAY.com to promote her “Simple Life” three-part reunion special with bestie Nicole Richie, Hilton spoke about how much her children enjoy music class.
“I think they’ve always loved music,” she said of both Phoenix and London.
She added that Phoenix also knows the iconic “Sanasa” song, created by Hilton and Richie on their popular reality show.
“His voice is just so cute,” she said of Phoenix’s singing. “It’s the cutest thing ever.”
In December 2024, Hilton shared a series of sweet pictures and videos featuring Phoenix exploring Washington, D.C. She was at the Capitol to give a personal speech on the Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act.
“I’ve visited the Capitol several times since beginning on my advocacy journey, but this trip is especially meaningful as I have my son Phoenix by my side. He and my daughter London are a huge part of my motivation in fighting for children’s rights,” she wrote.
“I want them to know that their mom is making sure that the world a safer place for every child.”
London Marilyn Hilton-Reum
In an Instagram post, Hilton announced the arrival of her daughter London on Nov. 23, 2023.
“Thankful for my baby girl,” Hilton wrote on an Instagram photo of a baby’s outfit branded with “London” and a pair of pink sunglasses, alongside a stuffed bunny.
While Hilton’s extended family knew that baby London was on her way, they didn’t know her due date. Hilton introduced them to her daughter on Thanksgiving Day.
Hilton always loved the name London for her future children.
“I knew when I was a little girl that I always wanted to have a daughter one day named London because London is one of my favorite cities in the world,” she said during the February 2023 “This Is Paris” podcast.
Less than a week after announcing the arrival of her baby girl, she spoke about embracing her “mom era” during an appearance on TODAY with Hoda & Jenna.
“She is just a little angel and my life just feels so complete with my little baby boy and my baby girl,” she gushed on Nov. 27, 2023.
Hilton said she and her husband are “just over the moon” about their family of four.
“I’m loving my mom era,” she added.
Hilton first shared her daughter’s full name in an Instagram post on April 19, 2024.
“Introducing London Marilyn Hilton-Reum. I’ve dreamed of having a daughter named London for as long as I can remember. I’m so grateful she is here,” she commented.
Hilton continues to post heartwarming pictures and videos of life with her family on social media, and London has been no exception.
In honor of her daughter’s first birthday, Hilton shared a compilation of sweet photos and videos in November 2024, capturing London over the past year. The caption of the photo read, “One year ago today, an icon was born.”
“My beautiful Baby London, you’ve brought more love, light, and happiness into our lives than I could ever have dreamed,” she continued. “All of my 11:11 wishes came true the moment I held you in my arms.”
She continued, “Watching you grow this past year has been the greatest blessing, and I can’t wait for all the magical memories we’ll continue to make together.”
Days later, Hilton shared photos on Instagram from a seemingly “Alice in Wonderland” themed party.
“Down the rabbit hole we go!” she captioned the post. “Celebrating London’s magical birthday in Wonderland, where dreams are reality and the tea party never ends!”
At the end of November, Hilton shared a variety of pictures from Thanksgiving with her husband and two kids. Fans couldn’t get enough of Hilton posing with her daughter, calling her a “mini Paris.”
“The hand holding pic,” one user wrote, adding several heart-eyes emoji.
Another commented, “Aw London is such a mini Paris,” with the heart-eyes and teary-eyes emoji. “Sending so much love to the 4 of you.”
