US reality star Paris Hilton has announced the name of her son.
"His name is Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum," said the 42-year-old on her podcast "This is Paris".
The name came to her mind more than a decade ago, she explained.
At that time she went through place names that could match her own name.
"I really believe names have power."
"It's such a beautiful name, it's so unique," enthused the hotel heiress.
Phoenix not only stands for the capital of the US state of Arizona, but also – after the mythical bird that rises from its ashes – for »hope, rebirth and transformation«.
With his middle name, she named her son after her grandfather, Barron Hilton, who she always looked up to.
Hilton and her husband Carter Reum announced in January that they had become parents via surrogacy.
With the child, her life feels so complete, Hilton now enthuses: "I just love this baby so much."
Hilton and Reum have been a couple since December 2019 and were married in November 2021.
