Paris Hilton and her husband Carter Reum shared another reason to be grateful this year.
Hilton announced on Thanksgiving via Instagram that she had given birth to a second child, a daughter. She shared a photo wearing a pink baby shirt with a Peter Pan collar and the name London sewn on the front, heart-shaped sunglasses and a stuffed animal.
Hilton, 42, captioned the photo, “Grateful for my baby girl” with a face holding back tears emoji, pink heart emoji and baby emoji.
London was welcomed by proxy, Hilton’s representative confirmed to The Associated Press on Friday.
Hilton’s aunt, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards, commented on the post with pink heart emojis and supermodel Naomi Campbell congratulated her.
Hilton has a son, Phoenix, with Reum, 42, an entrepreneur and venture capitalist. The couple married in November 2021. The two started dating in December 2019.
In a TikTok post, Paris confirmed the announcement, telling her niece and nephew that she had “two babies.” “Are you excited to meet your new cousin?” she asked.
The Hilton clan also celebrated the arrival in London with their Christmas decorations. In an Instagram post on Saturday, Hilton and Phoenix were seen posing in front of a bright pink Christmas tree in honor of Hilton’s newborn daughter.
“Celebrating our little girl London with a pink Christmas! 💕💕🎄💕💕,” Hilton wrote.
Paris Hilton’s husband Carter Reum talks about keeping his son Phoenix a secret
Hilton’s announcement is far less secret than the announcement of her first child.
In a teaser for the second season of their reality series “Paris in Love” released on Wednesday, the couple opened up about how they initially kept Phoenix a secret.
Reum initially said he wanted to share the news of their son’s expected arrival, but his wife preferred to keep the news about the baby a secret.
“I don’t think it ever dawned on me that we didn’t want to tell anyone, this was really Paris,” Reum said in a confessional. “My initial inclination was to tell my family and get everyone excited, their intention was to keep the secret. But she had to go through life protecting herself, so I wanted to do everything I could to be a good teammate.”
Hilton also discussed a plan in case her son, born via surrogate in January, was exposed by paparazzi in the hospital.
“If people found out that there were paparazzi all over Cedars (Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles), I hope and pray that no one at the hospital would tell,” she said in a clip of the couple riding in a car . “If someone recognizes me, we’ll pretend it’s our nephew.”
“We can’t blow our cover now, we’ve done such a good job,” Reum replied.
The social media mogul, reality star and DJ announced her son’s arrival in January. Hilton alluded to her new bundle of joy on Instagram, posting a picture of her baby’s hand grasping her thumb.
“You are already loved beyond words,” Hilton wrote, adding a blue heart emoji.
Reum has another child, a daughter, whom he shares with former reality star Laura Bellizzi.
In February, she shared on her podcast This is Paris that she named her son Phoenix and that no one — not even her mother Kathy Hilton or her sister Nicky Hilton Rothschild — knew about him until he was a week old.

“Right now we’re just keeping everything really private,” Hilton said on the podcast. “Not even my mom, my sister or my best friends – literally no one knew until he was over a week old, so it was really nice that with Carter it was our own journey together because I just that I feel like my life has been so public, and I’ve never really had anything that was just mine.
Hilton added that she decided to keep her baby news a secret even from close relatives because it’s difficult to keep a secret while living in the public eye.
“If you tell one person, they tell someone, and then all of a sudden it’s on TMZ or Page Six,” she said. “So Carter and I literally made a pact together that we wouldn’t tell anyone.”
