Paris Hilton reveals first photo with baby Phoenix Barron
The heiress turned entrepreneur finally announced her son’s name on an episode of her podcast, and now fans are privy to pictures of the baby.
Paris Hilton has posted the first photo of her new baby boy, after revealing her son’s name, Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum. Hilton has declared that she “decided years ago” what to name her baby, as she has been dreaming about it since she was a little girl.
Hilton and her husband Carter Reum brought home their surrogate baby boy in January 2023.
Glamour UK posted a photo to introduce Paris Hilton holding little Phoenix Barron. The ‘Stars are Blind’ singer tenderly holds her baby boy and is giving him a kiss in the new-mother glamor shot.
“I’m so obsessed with my little angel and when he looks into my eyes, I just melt. He’s such a good baby,” Hilton was quoted in the caption.
‘This is Paris’ podcast name reveal
In the most recent episode of her ‘This is Paris’ podcast, Hilton revealed the baby’s name and why she chose Phoenix and Barron, as well as shared some of the intimate insights into early motherhood.
“I’m excited to share some exclusive news with you. You know Carter and I have been blessed with the arrival of our baby boy. He is such a precious angel and we are just over the moon.”

Paris Hilton explained that she has carried the name in her heart for 10 years, as revealed in her upcoming memoir, ‘Paris’, and loved the idea of naming family members after cities.
“If all goes well, by the time you read this, Carter and I will have a baby boy,” the heiress read from her memoir. “We plan to name him Phoenix, a name that I decided on years ago when I was searching cities, countries and states on a map looking for something to go with Paris and London.”
“Phoenix has a few good pop culture reference points, but more importantly it’s the bird that flames out and then rises from the ashes to fly again,” Hilton explained. “I want my son to grow up knowing that disaster and triumph go around and come around throughout our lives. And that this should give us great hope for the future.”
Baby’s middle name is a tribute
The baby’s middle name, Barron, is a tribute to Hilton’s late grandfather, Barron Hilton.
“He was always my mentor. I looked up to my grandfather so much, and we were so close, and I miss him every day,” Hilton reminisced. “So, I really wanted to honor him by having his name in my first son’s name. So there you go. My beautiful baby boy’s name is Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum.”
