Paris Hilton Asked Her Surrogate to Watch ‘The Simple Life’ While She Was Pregnant With Son

Paris Hilton had an unusual request for her surrogate: binge for the baby. During the new season of Paris in Love — which dropped Thursday on Peacock — the socialite documented her journey of expecting her first child, son Phoenix Barron, with husband Carter Reum. But part of that journey included making a special ask of her surrogate, whom Hilton chose not to identify for privacy reasons.

In the premiere episode, Hilton told the Paris in Love cameras about the request as she prepared for her final New Year's Eve celebration before becoming a mother.

"I really wanted Phoenix to hear me while he's growing, so I asked the surrogate to watch The Simple Life, listen to my music and watch this New Year's Eve performance," she said in a confessional. "It's really important for me to have that connection with him before he's born."

By the end of the episode, that happened — production followed the couple as they traveled to the hospital to meet their baby boy, who was born on Jan. 16 of this year.

Less than a week ago, on Thanksgiving, Hilton announced that her family has grown once again, posting a photo on Instagram of a baby onesie with the name "London" stitched on.

"Thankful for my baby girl🥹🩷👶🏼," she simply captioned the post. 

Recently, Hilton has gone to bat for her children, defending son Phoenix from Internet trolls commenting about the shape and size of his head.

"There are some sick people in this world," she wrote in response to a Tiktok analyzing the comments. "My angel is perfectly healthy. And yes, of course he has been to a doctor, he just has a large brain."

Paris in Love Season 2 is now streaming on Peacock.
