Paris Hilton celebrated her son Phoenix’s six-month milestone with rare images of him but unexpectedly received parenting advice.
The little boy’s first name came from a phrase, while his second one was in honor of Hilton’s late mentor.
The DJ and her husband noted who between them their son looked like.
Fans were in for a treat on July 17, 2023, when Paris Hilton, 42, added many pictures and a video of her rarely-seen son, Phoenix. The images and footage taken in her home in Beverly Hills, California, showed the little boy’s appearance at six months.
The disc jockey (DJ) sat on a pink rug while dressed in a pink sweatsuit while cradling her baby boy. The pair bonded with the first-time mother looking into her son’s eyes while smiling. She placed him close to her chest for a hug and, in one shot, seemed to look at something off-camera.
In the clip, which showed off the different shades of pink in the background, Hilton showed how Phoenix can now grab his stuffed toys. The star called herself a “Barbie” and now a “mom.”
She noted her son’s age and described him as her “world.” The Hilton heiress confessed that Phoenix made her life feel complete and couldn’t wait for the “magical memories” they would create, adding:
“Mommy loves you so much, angel baby.”
While many people gushed over the cute baby boy, some noticed certain things that gave them cause for concern. One fan urged Hilton to pick Phoenix up more often, noting how the back of his head “is super flat” when it isn’t supposed to look that way.
The follower worried that the little boy would end up “needing a helmet.” The other option the person gave the DJ was to rub the boy’s head to shape it, while another agreed, saying:
“You need to give your baby tummy time .. he is already showing signs of [a] flat head.”
Someone else swooned at seeing the little boy but also noticed the alleged head shape issue and asked about it. The fan also suggested she gives Phoenix “tummy time,” while another Instagram user noted people’s concerns about the exposed wires in the images but went back to the head issue.
The follower thought the boy’s head was shaped the way it was because the child spent a lot of time on his back. The person also felt Hilton’s son seemed “delayed a little bit” despite seeing his movements for a little bit in the short clip.
The fan explained that she was speaking from the point of view of a concerned mother and asked other commenters not to “bash” her. She revealed that she loved Hilton and believed she was a good mother but that good parents also made mistakes and had “rose-colored glasses” for their children.
Little Phoenix was born in January 2023 via a surrogate to the celebrity and her husband, Carter Reum, 42. The couple was so good at keeping their child’s conception a secret that the “Simple Life” alum’s fans and family members were surprised by his arrival.
Hilton placated her mother, Kathy, 64, with a Chanel bag to avoid feeling the full might of her disappointment after being left in the dark. About a week before her son’s six-month milestone, Reum’s wife uploaded Instagram photos of herself with her sister, Nicky’s two daughters.
In the images, Kathy’s daughter smiled while standing outdoors with the trio: Lily-Grace Victoria, 7, Theodora “Teddy” Marilyn, 5, and sister-in-law, Tessa’s baby girl Milou Alizée, 3. The star confessed to being filled with “so much happiness” and “love” at being an aunt.
The media personality also admits that she dreams of the day she can have a baby girl. A few months after Phoenix was born, Hilton did an interview revealing how she and her husband chose their son’s names.
What Did Paris Say about Her Son?
In March 2023, Hilton discussed the birth of her son, revealing that his full name was Phoenix Barron Hilton-Reum. The “Stars Are Blind” singer talked about how sweet and precious her boy was and how his baby photos showed their resemblance. The DJ shared how she and the child had the same smile and lips.
The boy’s first name refers to “the rising phoenix,” while his second name honors Hilton’s late grandfather, Barron. Reum’s wife revealed that the late businessman has always been her mentor.
Hilton reiterated that she wants more children, and if she ever had a baby girl, she would be named London, with her “big brother” around to take care of her.
The celebrity says more children have been in the works for a while; she was waiting to find the right person to make it a reality. The star had taken so long to fulfill her dream, despite having numerous boyfriends before Reum, because she found it difficult to trust people.
Reum also confessed that he got chills when he looked into his son’s eyes because they were the boy’s mother’s.
In that regard, Phoenix’s mother was grateful to have found her husband. She and her husband started in-vitro fertilization (IVF) in 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, because they knew they wanted children and had the time with everything being shut down.
Hilton revealed that they had many more eggs waiting to be used. Although the heiress says she believes Phoenix resembles her the most, her husband also claims part of the boy’s looks!
Who Does the Baby Boy Look More Like?
In April 2013, Reum was featured on his wife’s “I Am Paris” podcast, discussing new joint parenthood. The businessman said their son is the “cutest,” while his mother confesses that the boy melts her now full and complete heart.
The Love Rush fragrance founder admitted that she thinks Phoenix looks like her, and her husband laughed without contesting the issue. He said he hopes the boy resembles his mother but shares their brains, is tall and funny like him, but dances like Hilton.
The DJ thought that combination was “hot” and admitted to being “so in love” with the little cutie. The star said she sees how innocent he looks when she stares into his eyes and wants to protect him from everything.
Reum also confessed that he got chills when he looked into his son’s eyes because they were the boy’s mother’s. Paris revealed that Phoenix’s baby photos matched hers, while the loved-up couple confessed to being “good” lovers, friends, teammates, and parents.
