Paris Hilton has opened up about her journey to motherhood

The heiress is now a mother of two children, her newborn daughter London and her 10-month-old son Phoenix – both born via surrogate.

Speaking on her TV show, ‘Paris In Love,’ Paris was candid about the decision not to carry her own children.

“Surrogacy was a difficult decision to make,” she admitted.

“I would have loved that experience of growing the baby in your tummy and feeling the kicks and all of those exciting moments, but my life has just been so public.

“So even though the baby is biologically mine and Carter’s, we decided to have a surrogate carry him.”

Paris wasn’t alone in her thought process as her husband Carter Reum expressed his concern for his other half if she was the one the carry their children.

“Now having a family with Paris, we want our family to grow up and be normal and not always be known as Paris Hilton’s children,” he said.

“We have to think about safety,” Carter added, “When we go to the farmer’s market, it’s one thing if someone stops and asks Paris for a photo. It’s a whole other thing with the baby in tow in a stroller.”

“I don’t think we know everything the journey’s gonna throw at us, but we’re just gonna tackle it as we go.”

Paris shocked her fans last week when she posted a picture of a pink baby outfit with the name ‘London’, confirming she had welcomed a second baby.

The socialite clarified in a TikTok comment that her ‘princess arrived’ after fans expressed confusion over whether it was a pregnancy announcement or if her daughter had already been born.
