After years of talking about how much she wants to be a mom someday, Paris Hilton's dreams finally came true! On Tuesday night, she shocked fans by revealing that she welcomed her first child with husband Carter Reum via surrogate, sharing the first photo of her little one in a sweet Instagram post.
Paris shared a photo of a newborn's tiny hand grasping her own
We can't see anything but the new mom's hand interlocked with her baby's, but the sweetness of this photo speaks volumes anyway.
She kept her caption short, writing, "You are already loved beyond words," along with a blue heart emoji.
She also issued a statement about her exciting development
Paris confirmed the news about her baby with Carter, whom she married in November 2021, in a statement to People.
"It's always been my dream to be a mother and I'm so happy that Carter and I found each other," she wrote. "We are so excited to start our family together and our hearts are exploding with love for our baby boy."
Recently, Paris' mom spoke out about her daughter's challenges in conceiving
In an interview with E! News in November, Kathy Hilton shared how heartbreaking it was to see her 41-year-old daughter struggle to get pregnant.
"It breaks my heart because I know she is trying and trying," she said. "So many people, they struggle, and it doesn't just happen like that."
Shortly afterward, Paris told TMZ that she and Carter had "tons of embryos" waiting in the wings, but little did we know at the time that her surrogate would be about ready to pop!
In 2021, Paris had already started the IVF process
While talking to the Trend With Mara podcast in June 2021, Paris revealed that longtime pal Kim Kardashian (who has welcomed multiple children via surrogate herself) had been helping her with the process, and that she had already undergone several egg retrievals at that point.
It's good to hear that, less than two years later, Paris is officially a new mom.
Congrats to Paris and Carter
This must be such an exciting time for them both — and something that Paris has obviously been looking forward to and actively planning for a very long time.
Fingers crossed that she will share more details soon, including her baby boy's name. Undoubtedly she likely picked out the perfect one!
