Officially, Paris Hilton is a mother. The celebrity and her husband Carter Reum announced on Tuesday that they had a surrogate mother carry their son into the world.
“To be a mother has always been my dream, and I’m so happy Carter and I found each other,” said Hilton, 41, to People. “We are so excited to start our family together and our hearts are exploding with love for our baby boy.”
On Instagram, Paris posted a picture of her child’s hand along with the caption, “You are already loved beyond words.”
Kim Kardashian, Chrissy Teigen, Demi Lovato, Heidi Klum, Elle Fanning, and many other celebrities offered their congratulations in the comments.
In November 2021, Hilton wed Reum, a 41-year-old businessman and founder of the M13 venture capital firm. On Peacock’s Paris in Love series, their wedding and the events leading up to it were covered.
Earlier that year, Hilton denied pregnancy rumors on her podcast, saying, “I am not pregnant, not yet. I am waiting till after the wedding. … I can’t wait to have children in 2022.”
