Meet Paris Hilton’s Children: Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum and London Marilyn Hilton Reum

Paris Whitney Hilton is an American media personality, businesswoman, socialite, model, singer, DJ, actress, and author, widely recognized as a pioneer in reality television, influencer culture, and celebrity branding.

Rising to fame in the early 2000s through her starring role on the reality series The Simple Life (2003–2007) alongside Nicole Richie, she became a global icon for her glamorous lifestyle, catchphrases like “That’s hot,” and entrepreneurial ventures.

Hilton has built a multi-billion-dollar empire through Paris Hilton Entertainment (now 11:11 Media), launching fragrance lines, fashion collections, and numerous product endorsements, while also releasing music albums, starring in films such as House of Wax (2005), and establishing herself as a top international DJ.

In recent years, she has focused on advocacy, particularly reforming the “troubled teen industry” following her documentary This Is Paris (2020), which exposed her experiences with abuse, leading to legislative changes in multiple states.

Paris Hilton was born on February 17, 1981, in New York City, to real estate developer Richard “Rick” Hilton and former actress/socialite Kathy Hilton (née Avanzino). She is the eldest of four siblings, including sister Nicky Hilton Rothschild (born 1983), and brothers Barron Hilton II (born 1989) and Conrad Hughes Hilton (born 1994), as part of the prominent Hilton family dynasty founded by her great-grandfather Conrad Hilton.

Hilton married entrepreneur and venture capitalist Carter Reum on November 11, 2021, in a lavish multi-day ceremony at a private estate in Los Angeles, following a proposal on her birthday in February 2021.

They welcomed two children via surrogacy — son Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum on January 16, 2023, and daughter London Marilyn Hilton Reum on November 11, 2023 (coinciding with their wedding anniversary).

Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum

Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum (born January 16, 2023): Phoenix, the eldest child, was welcomed via surrogate and kept a complete secret from Hilton’s family until his birth, with the couple even lacking a prepared nursery at the time.

Named after the Arizona city (a longtime favorite of Hilton’s for naming children after places), he has been described by his mother as beautiful and perfect, often featured in family outings, red carpet appearances, and social media posts showcasing his protective big-brother role toward his sister.

Phoenix frequently joins his parents at events, embodying the close-knit family dynamic as Hilton embraces motherhood.

London Marilyn Hilton Reum

London Marilyn Hilton Reum (born November 11, 2023): London, the younger child, was also born via surrogate and announced on Thanksgiving 2023, surprising fans and family alike. Named after the city of London (another place-inspired choice), she shares a tight sibling bond with Phoenix, often described by Hilton as “like twins” who are “always connected at the hip,” with him being especially protective and her adoring him in return.
