The Hilton heiress is mom to son Phonix and daughter London
Paris Hilton has opened up about the challenges and joys of being a working mother following the arrival of her son Phoenix and daughter London in 2023.
The iconic socialite and reality TV star, 42, who welcomed her children with her husband Carter Reum through surrogacy, shared her experiences in an interview with CNN, highlighting the complexities of balancing a bustling career with motherhood.
Reflecting on the adjustments she’s had to make, Paris said: “The one thing is being a working mom and balancing it all. I have a crazy schedule, so I am learning to say no and trying to spend as much time as possible with my little ones.”
She expressed her elation at the arrival of London in November, describing her as “my little princess” and emphasizing how her children have made her life feel complete.

Interestingly, Paris managed to keep Phoenix’s birth under wraps from her family until the last moment. “My mom and sister knew, but they didn’t know when,” she revealed.
This secretive approach underscores Paris’ desire for privacy in her family matters, a contrast to her otherwise public persona.

“The surrogacy process, it was definitely a difficult decision to make,” she said. “But my life has just been so public.”
Carter, 42, Paris’ husband, shared her concerns, emphasizing the importance of normalcy and safety for their children.
