When it comes to modern-day heiresses, there is no one more iconic than Paris Hilton.
Best known for her trailblazing fashion and short-lived singing career (rest in peace Stars are Blind), the 43-year-old was the top socialite of the early 2000s, with her and assistant Kim Kardashian creating some of the most memorable pop culture looks of the noughties.
While she may have risen to fame for her lavish nightlife routine and trademark catchphrases, Paris has since added another job description to her list; mother.
Welcoming two children in 2023 alongside her husband Carter Reum, the couple have shared many glimpses into their family life.
“They’re just such little angels and have really changed my whole world, and just make me realise what’s most important in life,” Paris told Glamour in December 2024.
“It’s love on another level, which I didn’t know I could feel. I’m just so grateful for them every day. They’re just so precious and smart and fun. They’re the cutest things on the planet.”
As the couple continue to celebrate their children’s latest milestones, scroll down to learn more about Paris Hilton’s two children.
Does Paris Hilton have children?
Paris Hilton and Carter Reum share two children – Phoenix, 1, and London, 1.
Both Phoenix and London were conceived through IVF and delivered via surrogate. Speaking on her decision to welcome her children via surrogate, Paris told Romper, “If I’m in a doctor’s office… I will literally have a panic attack… I just knew that would not be healthy for me or the baby, growing inside of someone who has such high anxiety.”
Phoenix Baron Hilton Reum, 1
Paris welcomed her first child, son Phoenix Baron, on January 16, 2023.
The couple announced their first child’s arrival on Instagram two weeks after the birth, with Paris sharing a photo of baby Phoenix’s hand wrapped around her finger alongside the caption, “You are already loved beyond words 💙.”
Speaking to People shortly after the birth, the 43-year-old shared, “It’s always been my dream to be a mother and I’m so happy that Carter and I found each other. We are so excited to start our family together and our hearts are exploding with love for our baby boy.”
In October 2023, Paris and Phoenix made headlines following an influx of negative comments targeted at the then-10-month-old’s appearance.
Responding via her Instagram page, Paris wrote, “Living life in the spotlight, comments are inevitable, but targeting my child, or anyone else’s for that matter is unacceptable.
“This hurts my heart more deeply than words can describe. I’ve worked hard to cultivate an environment that is all about love, respect, and acceptance, and I expect the same in return.
“If I don’t post my baby, people assume I’m not a great mother, and if I do post him there are some people who are cruel and hateful.
“I’m a proud working mom and my baby is perfectly healthy, adorable and angelic,” she added.
“I’ve dreamt of being a mom for as long as I can remember. Phoenix is my world and has been the biggest blessing of my life.”
Speaking to People in December 2023, Hilton elaborated on her reaction.
“Usually, I wouldn’t even dignify anything like that with a response, but I was just heartbroken that there are such cruel people in the world. I couldn’t believe that they could be mean and vicious about a little innocent baby.”
In December 2024, Paris revealed Phoenix’s first word and honestly, it’s as iconic as we expected.
“His first word was ‘yas,’ and then ‘mama,’” Paris told Glamour in a joint interview with her best friend Nicole Richie.

During her Thanksgiving celebrations, in 2023, Paris announced the arrival of her daughter London.
On November 24, she shared a photo of a personalised pink baby romper alongside a crocheted toy and heart sunglasses with the caption, “Thankful for my baby girl.”
While Paris did not reveal London’s full name until April 2024, many fans correctly guessed her daughter’s full name as London Marilyn Hilton Reum based on a 2022 interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
“Marilyn after my grandmother and London because it’s my favourite city, and I think Paris and London sound cute together,” she said previously.
Sharing the first glimpses of her daughter on social media, Paris penned a heartwarming tribute to London, writing, “I’ve dreamed of having a daughter named London for as long as I can remember. I’m so grateful she is here. I truly cherish every moment with her.”
“Together with Phoneix, my angel babies have shown me a love that I never even knew could run so deep before I became their mother.”
