Why Did Paris Hilton Use A Surrogate?
As Paris Hilton was open about her IVF journey with Phoenix and never made aĀ pregnancy announcement, many fans speculated that she welcomed the bub via surrogacy.Ā
This hunch was confirmed byĀ People, revealing that they had undergone IVF treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic.Ā
She joins the legions of celebrities, including her best friend Kim Kardashian, who have used this method to conceive.Ā
Phoenixās arrival came over a year since herĀ multi-million dollar weddingĀ toĀ entrepreneur and venture capitalist, Carter Reum.Ā
The pair wed in November 2021 in a star-studded Bel-Air ceremony. Soon after, the couple embarked on aĀ seven-week sliving honeymoonĀ (which she dubbed her āworld tourā, where Paris revealed her desire for a large family.Ā
Shortly after Londonās birth, Paris confirmed that her daughter had also been born via a surrogate.Ā
During an interview with Romper, Ā Paris revealed she opted for a surrogate because of trauma she experienced as a teenager at Utahās Provo Canyon School for troubled youth.Ā
āIf Iām in a doctorās office, I get a shot, anything, I will literally have a panic attack and I canāt breathe,ā she told the outlet.Ā
āI just knew that would not be healthy for me or the baby, growing inside of someone who has such high anxiety.ā
Paris first alleged that she had been physically, sexually and emotionally abused at the school in 2020, when she claimed the school forced her to have non-consensual gynaecological examinations.Ā
The school has stated that they ādo not condone or promote any form of abuseā and since they have been acquired by a new company, can not comment on prior āoperations of student experience.āĀ
In February 2023, Paris spoke candidly about her pregnancy fears when she told Glamour, āIām just so scared.āĀ
Paris continued, āleading back to Provo of even being in a doctorās office, just all of that, the shots, the IVs that they put in.ā
However, Paris also explained to Romper that her work was also a consideration.Ā
āMy schedule is out of control,ā Paris told the outlet, explaining that her days can be planned a year in advance.Ā
āThere never wouldāve been the right time to do it because thereās literally no time to do anything in my life,ā she said.
As any fan of Parisā would know, that wasnāt the first time sheās spoken about wanting to become a mother.Ā
Last year,Ā marie claireĀ Australia caught up with Paris herself, where she talked about how herĀ parenting styleĀ would be very different from her own.
āMy mom and dad were so strict, and I think when youāre so, so strict, it just makes your kids want to rebel,ā she told us.Ā
āThey wouldnāt let me go on a date, I couldnāt go to the school dance or go out, so I would sneak out, and because of that, I got sent away.
āSo I think with my kids, Iām gonna probably be really strict, too, but not so strict. And Iāll just make them feel comfortable to talk to me and talk with them. I would never, ever send them away to any school. I would just keep them at home with me.ā
What Is The Meaning Behind The Name Phoenix Barron?
Of course, it wouldnāt be a celebrity baby name announcment if the star wasnāt taking the opportuntiy to also plug something, would it? In the caption for her baby name announcement, Paris used the post to also redirect fans to pre-order her upcoming memoir and listen to the latest episode of her podcastĀ This Is Paris,Ā for more intel.Ā
Thankfully for us, sources atĀ theĀ Daily MailĀ obtained a copy of the memior, and have revealed exactly what Paris (allegedly) wrote about her sonās name in her autobiography.Ā
Read the full excerpt below:
āIf all goes well, by the time you read this, Carter and I will have a baby boy,ā she began. āWe plan to name him Phoenix, a name I that decided on years ago when I was searching cities, countries and states on a map, looking for something to go with Paris and London. Phoenix has a few good pop culture references points, but more important itās the birth of flames out and then rises from the ashes to fly again.
āI want my son to grow up knowing that disaster and triumph go around and come around throughout our lives and that this should give us great hope for the future. Even when the past is painful and the present seems to have fallen to s**t, itās weird how two ideas that are so different, so completely opposite, can coexist like that. But they do. Freedom and suffering, joy and sorrow, love and loss. So his name is Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum.
āAnd his middle name is Barron after my grandfather Barron Hilton, he was always my mentor and I looked up to my grandfather so much and we were so close and I miss him everyday so I really wanted to honor him by having his name in my first sonās name. So there you go, my beautiful baby boyās name is Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum and Carter and I are so proud to welcome him into the world.ā
Why Does Paris Hilton Name Her Children After Cities?Ā
Of course, itās hard not to notice that Paris has continued the city name trend started by her own parents.
In a YouTube video she posted from her honeymoon vacation to Bora Bora, the star revealed that she ideally would love to have twins.Ā
āNext year we will be a four, because I want to have twins,ā she explained in the video.Ā āI feel like this is our last big vacation before we have a family.āĀ
During the video, she also revealed that she would want her daughter to be called āLondon Marilynāāsomething she has clearly stuck with now that the time has come.Ā
While she might just be doing it because she herself was given a city name, judging by her previous comments it also seems like she likes her childrenās name to have meaningāespecially meaning thatās found on a map.Ā
