Paris Hilton kept her baby’s birth secret from her family until Instagram post was ready

Paris Hilton kept her baby’s birth a secret from her entire family, she has revealed.

The infamous ‘that’s hot’ socialite, 42, and her husband Carter Reum, 41, welcomed a baby boy via surrogate in January.

But The Simple Life star admitted that she hid her baby’s arrival from her nearest and dearest until just before she broke the news to the public on social media.

Speaking to Harper’s Bazaar in an interview, Paris revealed that she and her partner opted to keep their baby hidden even from their immediate family until she was ready to post the birth announcement on Instagram.

Opening up about their choice, she said: “My entire life has been so public. I’ve never had anything for myself.

“We decided that we wanted to have this whole experience to ourselves.

“I want to protect him and to be with him every second. You have this mother instinct that kicks in, which I've never had before."

The new mother also doted over feeling ‘so complete now’ since welcoming their baby boy in the interview.

Whilst her surrogate was in labour in the hospital, Paris went so far to protect her identity that she even opted for a disguise - wearing a brunette wig, of course - and signed into the hospital using an alias.

At the time, she said of the birth of her first child: "You are already loved beyond words," before adding a blue heart emoji in the caption beneath a sweet photo of the baby’s hand holding her finger.

She has since revealed it's a "dream to be a mother".

Paris has not yet revealed the name of her baby boy, but is considering continuing with the city name legacy with ‘London’.

The youngster is Paris' first child, while Carter, 41, shares a daughter, 10, with reality star Laura Bellizzi.
