She guessed right! Paris Hilton (42) and her partner Carter Reum became parents in January 2023. The little son was born by surrogacy. At first, it was not clear what the cult blonde and her lover would call the baby, but recently it became known: he is called Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum. This probably came as no surprise to one person: talk show queen Ellen DeGeneres (65) had already guessed the name of Paris ‘ son a year ago!
The 65-year-old quipped via Instagram: “I knew the name of Paris Hilton’s baby! Am I going to win a hotel now?” The It-Girl was a guest on Ellen’s talk show almost a year ago, as she explained. She also shared a video clip in which she asks about possible names for her future son as part of her Paris show. “I’ll guess the name, I really will,” Ellen claims in the video, before asking, “Will it be ‘Phoenix’?” Paris only responds with a giggle.
Paris had previously announced that the name “Phoenix” had been her top favorite for a long time. If the child had been a girl, she would have named it “London” – based on her own name, which is also derived from a city.
