Fans were in for a treat on July 17, 2023, when Paris Hilton, 42, added many pictures and a video of her rarely-seen son, Phoenix. The images and footage taken in her home in Beverly Hills, California, showed the little boy’s appearance at six months.
The disc jockey (DJ) sat on a pink rug while dressed in a pink sweatsuit while cradling her baby boy. The pair bonded with the first-time mother looking into her son’s eyes while smiling. She placed him close to her chest for a hug and, in one shot, seemed to look at something off-camera.
In the clip, which showed off the different shades of pink in the background, Hilton showed how Phoenix can now grab his stuffed toys. The star called herself a “Barbie” and now a “mom.”
She noted her son’s age and described him as her “world.” The Hilton heiress confessed that Phoenix made her life feel complete and couldn’t wait for the “magical memories” they would create, adding:
“Mommy loves you so much, angel baby.”
While many people gushed over the cute baby boy, some noticed certain things that gave them cause for concern. One fan urged Hilton to pick Phoenix up more often, noting how the back of his head “is super flat” when it isn’t supposed to look that way.
The follower worried that the little boy would end up “needing a helmet.” The other option the person gave the DJ was to rub the boy’s head to shape it, while another agreed, saying:
“You need to give your baby tummy time .. he is already showing signs of [a] flat head.”
Someone else swooned at seeing the little boy but also noticed the alleged head shape issue and asked about it. The fan also suggested she gives Phoenix “tummy time,” while another Instagram user noted people’s concerns about the exposed wires in the images but went back to the head issue.
The follower thought the boy’s head was shaped the way it was because the child spent a lot of time on his back. The person also felt Hilton’s son seemed “delayed a little bit” despite seeing his movements for a little bit in the short clip.
The fan explained that she was speaking from the point of view of a concerned mother and asked other commenters not to “bash” her. She revealed that she loved Hilton and believed she was a good mother but that good parents also made mistakes and had “rose-colored glasses” for their children.
Little Phoenix was born in January 2023 via a surrogate to the celebrity and her husband, Carter Reum, 42. The couple was so good at keeping their child’s conception a secret that the “Simple Life” alum’s fans and family members were surprised by his arrival.
Hilton placated her mother, Kathy, 64, with a Chanel bag to avoid feeling the full might of her disappointment after being left in the dark. About a week before her son’s six-month milestone, Reum’s wife uploaded Instagram photos of herself with her sister, Nicky’s two daughters.
In the images, Kathy’s daughter smiled while standing outdoors with the trio: Lily-Grace Victoria, 7, Theodora “Teddy” Marilyn, 5, and sister-in-law, Tessa’s baby girl Milou Alizée, 3. The star confessed to being filled with “so much happiness” and “love” at being an aunt.
The media personality also admits that she dreams of the day she can have a baby girl. A few months after Phoenix was born, Hilton did an interview revealing how she and her husband chose their son’s names.
