Paris Hilton and your husband Carter Rheum don’t tell your mother, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kathy Hiltonor sister, Nicky Hilton-Rothschildthat they received their first child together until a son, Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum, who they welcomed through a surrogate in January, a week old. But why?
During the latest episode of her podcast, Paris explained why she and Carter chose to keep their baby boy.
“We are very happy to start a family and we can’t wait for you to see them. But for now, you just keep everything private,” he said in the February 26 episode This is Paris, via Hollywood Life. “No one knows, literally, until they’re a week or so old. So it’s been really nice to be with Carter, (to have) travel on our own.
According to Paris, who married Carter in November 2021 after about two years of dating, she and Carter made an agreement to keep the baby news a secret even from the family.
“I just feel like my life has been very public, and I’ve never had anything,” Paris said. “I feel like my life in many ways has been attacked. I just really felt that I wanted to go on this journey with us alone. It’s hard to stay because we are very excited and want to tell the family, but you’re just nervous because if you tell one person, you know if they tell someone else and then all of a sudden it’s like on TMZ or Page Six. ..”
And while keeping that big secret might not be the easiest feat for Paris and Carter, Kathy’s reaction is worth waiting for.
“When I introduced my mom to my baby boy, it was amazing to see her face,” Paris said. “He was very surprised. Just the look on your face is priceless.
After welcoming her son several weeks ago, Paris said she was “waiting” for her daughter-in-law as she continued the embryo freezing process.
“Carter and I had been talking about the future, and then the world shut down, so I was like, ‘Are you thinking about making an embryo?'” Paris told UK Glamor , via Page Six . “He said, ‘Yeah, let’s do it.'”
After starting to freeze embryos amid the coronavirus pandemic, Paris managed to collect 20 embryos. However, all 20 were male.
“And we’ve done it seven times,” Paris added. “I have all boys. I have 20 boys… I just went through the process again last month, so I’m waiting for the results to see if it’s a girl.
While Paris is expecting to welcome a baby girl, who she thinks will be named London, she is enjoying life as a mother of a boy for now.
“I’m obsessed with my little angel and when she looks into my eyes, I just melt,” she shared. “He’s such a beautiful baby.”
