Paris Hilton has shared the first photos of her son after unveiling his name as Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum.
The 42-year-old became a mom for the first time last month, welcoming a baby boy with husband Carter Reum via a surrogate.
In a stunning new portrait obtained by People Magazine, the Simple Life star could be seen gently placing a kiss on the newborn’s head as she cradled him in her hands.
The pair were matching in white outfits for the sweet snap, which also showcased her whopping diamond ring.
Another picture saw Carter join in the fun, embracing his wife while she held the sleeping little one over her shoulder.
Paris sent fans into meltdown last month when she confirmed that they had introduced a son, having kept tight-lipped on possible plans to start a family.

On Thursday, she revealed that they had named him Phoenix on Instagram – in an extract from her upcoming memoir, which will be on shelves next month.
‘We plan to name him Phoenix, a name that I decided on years ago when I was searching cities, countries and states on a map looking for something to go with Paris and London,’ she said.
‘Phoenix has a few good pop culture reference points, but more importantly it’s the bird that flames out and then rises from the ashes to fly again.
‘I want my son to grow up knowing that disaster and triumph go around and come around throughout our lives. And that this should give us great hope for the future.’

Paris revealed that they had chosen to honor her late grandfather, Barron Hilton, with Phoenix’s middle name.
‘He was always my mentor. I looked up to my grandfather so much, and we were so close, and I miss him every day,’ she added.
‘So, I really wanted to honor him by having his name in my first son’s name. So there you go. My beautiful baby boy’s name is Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum.’
Paris and Carter started dating in November, 2019, and shared the news of their engagement just a few months later.
They tied the knot in a lavish wedding in September, 2021, before starting their family in January.
In the latest episode of her This Is Paris podcast, the reality icon opened up on motherhood, sharing that they kept his arrival a secret from everyone – including her close-knit family.
‘As you all know, Carter and I have been blessed with the arrival of our baby boy. He is such a precious angel, and we’re just over the moon, so in love with him. We’re just so excited to start our family, and we can’t wait for you to see him,’ she said.

‘But for now, we’ve just been keeping everything really private. Not even my mom, my sister or my best friends, no one knew until he was over a week old.
‘It was really nice to have that with Carter, be our own journey together. I just feel like my life has been so public, and I’ve never really had anything be just mine.’
‘From the moment I laid eyes on him, my heart felt so full. I feel like my life is so complete now. I’ve always wanted to be a mom. I’m so happy that I found the perfect partner with Carter.’
