Paris Hilton is no stranger to the spotlight, but motherhood has revealed a different side of the 42-year-old socialite.
Just under three months after welcoming her son Phoenix, Paris is already a natural at being a doting mother. She recently took to Instagram to share some heartwarming moments with her little bundle of joy.

Paris and Carter Reum, who began dating in late 2019 and wed in a lavish 3-day ceremony after nine months of engagement in 2021, secretly welcomed their son through a surrogate in January due to a fear of childbirth.
The new mother announced the baby’s birth in a statement to People, saying, “It’s always been my dream to be a mother, and I’m so happy that Carter and I found each other. We are so excited to start our family together, and our hearts are exploding with love for our baby boy.”
Since then, Paris has been sharing her joy with the world. She shared a picture of her infant’s hand holding her thumb on Instagram on January 24, with the caption “You are already loved beyond words” and a blue heart emoji.
And a few weeks later, Glamour UK published a series of endearing portrait photographs, revealing the adorable face of baby Phoenix to the world.

She told the outlet, “I’m so obsessed with my little angel, and when he looks into my eyes, I just melt. He’s such a good baby.”
In February, she shared on her “This Is Paris” podcast the touching story behind her son’s unique name, saying, “My beautiful baby boy’s name is Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum. And Carter and I are so proud to welcome him into the world,” adding “I’ve been planning my children’s names for years and years.”
The social media whiz revealed that she came up with the name for her boy more than ten years ago and explained that it “stands for hope, rebirth, and transformation.”
Paris additionally clarified the importance of his middle name, which is a tribute to her late grandpa, Barron Hilton.

She said, “He was always my mentor, and I looked up to my grandfather so much, and we were so close, and I miss him every day, so I really wanted to honor him by having his name in my first son’s name.”
And now, after a few weeks of getting used to spending time with her baby, Paris shared some heartwarming moments with her son in new photos she uploaded on April 3 to her Instagram.
The four black-and-white pictures, taken by photographer Dennis Gocer, show the new mom holding her undressed baby on her chest in the first image while sporting a black slipdress, diamond stud earrings, and diamond engagement ring.

Paris captioned the photos with “My whole heart. 😍💙,” and the hashtag, “#MommyMonday.”
In other images, Phoenix is wearing a onesie and a beanie as he cuddles next to Paris, dressed in a fuzzy white cardigan.
The DJ’s sister, Nicky Hilton, left a row of heart emojis among the floods of adoring comments from celebrities and fans alike.
Up until a week after his birth, Paris chose to keep the news of her son’s arrival a secret from everyone, including her family and her mom Kathy Hilton.

Recently, she talked to Harper’s Bazaar about why she chose to be so private, saying, “My entire life has been so public. I’ve never had anything for myself. We decided that we wanted to have this whole experience to ourselves.”
Paris Hilton is clearly in love with her new role as a mother, and fans can’t wait to see more sweet moments of her and Phoenix in the future.
