Paris Hilton mother of a little boy at 42 years
In her iHeartRadio podcast This Is Paris, this Thursday, February 23, the mom revealed the name of her little boy... Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum! The heiress explained that she had thought of this name 10 years ago while reading an excerpt from her memoirs.
If all goes well, by the time you read this, Carter and I will have a baby boy. We plan to name him Phoenix, a name that came to mind years ago as I was looking for cities, countries and states on a map, looking for a name that would go with Paris and London

Hilton also explained this atypical choice:
Phoenix has some good pop culture reference points, but it's mostly the bird that catches fire and then rises from the ashes to fly again. I want my son to grow up knowing that disasters and triumphs come and go throughout our lives. And that this should give us great hope for the future.

Hilton spoke with Glamour UK for the February online issue and was no longer scared to speak about her first experience with being pregnant. Hilton revealed that she terminated her first pregnancy as she was too young. Moreover, the reason the heiress hasn’t really spoken about it before is that there is a ‘shame’ that surrounds the topic.
This was also something that I didn’t want to talk about because there was so much shame around that. I was a kid and I was not ready for that.
She then shared her views on the subject, arguing that ‘It’s a woman’s body… why should there be a law around that?’
