Paris Hilton’s Children: Introducing Phoenix and London
Beyond her status as a pop culture icon, model, and businesswoman, Paris Hilton is now also a mother to two children who are both under the age of 2.
Hilton and her husband, Carter Reum, welcomed their son, Phoenix Barron, in January 2023, followed by their daughter, London Marilyn, who arrived in November 2023.
During an appearance on TODAY with Hoda & Jenna in November 2023, Hilton expressed how motherhood has infused a new sense of tranquility into her otherwise hectic life.
“I just feel so at peace, so happy (and) so grateful for my husband and this beautiful family and life that we’re building together. I couldn’t imagine anything else,” she shared.

Phoenix Barron Hilton-Reum
Hilton and her husband, Carter Reum, managed to keep the news of their first child’s impending arrival under wraps, even from their closest friends and family.
“I feel like my life has been so public, and I just wanted something for myself,” Hilton told TODAY with Hoda & Jenna in March 2023. “I didn’t want the media and people online discussing my son even before he was born.”
Hilton emphasized the importance of privacy, revealing to Harper’s Bazaar that when it was time for her surrogate to give birth, she checked into the hospital under an alias and in disguise.
In January 2023, Hilton shared the first photo of her son, showcasing just his tiny hand clutching her thumb.
“You are already loved beyond words,” she captioned.
In February 2023, Hilton spoke about her son’s distinctive name on her “This is Paris” podcast.
“I love that it’s not only a city but also has beautiful meanings,” she said. “I believe names hold power, and we wanted our baby boy to have a truly remarkable name.”
“It symbolizes hope, rebirth, and transformation,” Hilton explained.
The middle name Barron honors her late grandfather, who passed away in 2019.
In July 2023, Hilton commemorated Phoenix’s half-birthday by posting a series of Instagram photos.
“This Barbie is a Mom,” she wrote alongside the slides. “My baby boy Phoenix is 6 months old today. He is my world and makes my life feel so complete. I can’t wait to create all the magical memories with you! Mommy loves you so much, angel baby.”
In January 2024, Hilton threw a lavish party for her son Phoenix’s first birthday, inviting her celebrity friends to join in the celebration.
The reality star and entrepreneur posted photos and videos from the birthday extravaganza on her Instagram story on Jan. 27, 2024.
Before the party kicked off, the mother of two shared a clip of a blue and orange balloon display being set up in the backyard, accompanied by the tune “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King” from “The Lion King.”
However, it appears another iconic Disney film, “The Little Mermaid,” may have inspired the theme for Phoenix’s celebration. In a subsequent clip, she revealed more details about the birthday decorations, which featured a grand archway with “Phoenix” inscribed on it, fish-shaped balloons, and transparent balloons that read “#slivingmom.”
In her post, she mentioned that the specific theme for her son’s party was “Sliving Under the Sea.”
The birthday boy made his debut in the next Instagram story. The elated mother, dressed in a star tiara, matching necklace, a white Chanel purse, and a blue ballgown reminiscent of Cinderella, held her son and expressed her delight at him turning one. Phoenix looked adorable in a pageboy hat, a white collared Fendi shirt, khaki trousers, and white sneakers. The two also sported matching white sunglasses.
“I’m so excited. I’ve hosted incredible birthday parties my entire life, so being able to do this for my little boy is such a precious memory,” Hilton shared in the video.
In an earlier interview with TODAY.com promoting her “Simple Life” three-part reunion with best friend Nicole Richie, Hilton noted how much her children love their music class.
“They’ve always had a fondness for music,” she said regarding both Phoenix and London.
She added that Phoenix even knows the iconic “Sanasa” song created by Hilton and Richie in their famed reality show.
“His voice is just so cute,” Hilton said about Phoenix’s singing. “It’s the cutest thing ever.”
In December 2024, Hilton posted a collection of sweet pictures and videos of Phoenix exploring Washington, D.C. during her visit to the Capitol, where she delivered a personal speech on the Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act.
“I’ve been to the Capitol several times throughout my advocacy journey, but this trip is especially significant as I have my son Phoenix by my side. He and my daughter London inspire me to fight for children’s rights,” she expressed.
“I want them to know that their mom is working to make the world a safer place for every child.”
London Marilyn Hilton-Reum
Hilton announced the birth of her daughter London through an Instagram post on Nov. 23, 2023.
“Grateful for my baby girl,” Hilton captioned an Instagram photo showcasing a baby outfit marked with “London,” along with pink sunglasses and a stuffed bunny.
While Hilton’s extended family was aware of baby London’s impending arrival, they were unaware of her due date. Hilton introduced them to their granddaughter on Thanksgiving Day.
Hilton had always adored the name London for her future children.
“I knew from childhood that I wanted to have a daughter named London since it’s one of my favorite cities worldwide,” she revealed during the February 2023 “This Is Paris” podcast.
Just days after announcing the birth of her daughter, she shared her excitement about entering her “mom era” during a segment on TODAY with Hoda & Jenna.
“She is just a little angel. My life feels so complete with my little baby boy and my baby girl,” she gushed on Nov. 27, 2023.
Hilton expressed that she and her husband are “over the moon” about their family of four.
“I’m cherishing my mom era,” she added.
Hilton officially revealed her daughter’s full name in an Instagram post on April 19, 2024.
“Introducing London Marilyn Hilton-Reum. I have dreamed for ages of having a daughter named London, and I am so grateful she is here,” she shared.
Hilton continues to share heartwarming moments of her family life on social media, with London being no exception.
To celebrate her daughter’s first birthday, Hilton compiled a touching collection of photos and videos in November 2024, reflecting on London’s first year. The caption read, “One year ago today, an icon was born.”
“My beautiful Baby London, you’ve filled our lives with more love, light, and happiness than I could ever have imagined,” she continued. “All my 11:11 wishes came true the moment I held you in my arms.”
“Watching you grow this past year has been the greatest blessing, and I look forward to the magical memories we’ll continue to create together,” she added.
In the days following, Hilton shared photos on Instagram of a seemingly “Alice in Wonderland”-themed celebration.
“Down the rabbit hole we go!” she captioned the post. “Celebrating London’s magical birthday in Wonderland, where dreams become reality, and the tea party never ends!”
At the end of November, Hilton posted a variety of pictures from Thanksgiving with her husband and two kids. Her fans were enamored with a picture of her holding hands with her daughter, calling her a “mini Paris.”
“The hand-holding pic,” one user commented, accompanied by several heart-eyed emojis.
Another added, “Aw London is such a mini Paris,” with heart-eyed and teary-eyed emojis. “Sending so much love to the four of you.”
CORRECTION (Dec. 19, 2024, 2:25 p.m. ET): An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated the date when Paris Hilton shared her daughter’s full name on Instagram. It is April 19, 2024, not April 19, 2025.
