“My son’s name is Phoenix”
Paris Hilton, heiress to the global hotel chain Hilton Group, announced that the name of her son born through surrogacy is 'Phoenix'.
On the 22nd (local time), Paris Hilton announced on her podcast channel 'This Is Paris' that the name of her son born through surrogacy in January was 'Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum'.
Paris Hilton said, "I am very proud and happy to have a baby with my husband Carter Leeum." 'Phoenix' is the capital and largest city of the U.S. state of Arizona, and is said to symbolize hope, resurrection, and change.
The son's middle name, Barron, was taken from his grandfather, Barron Hilton, who passed away in 2019 at the age of 91. Paris Hilton said, "My grandfather has always been my mentor and I have always looked up to him. I wanted to honor him by naming my son after him."
Paris Hilton began dating Carter Leeum in December 2019 and married in November 2021.
