Why Paris Hilton Doesn't Want Her Kids London and Phoenix to Be Famous
Kathy Hilton's daughter Paris Hilton may have grown up in the spotlight, but she doesn't want the same for her kids.
The Paris in Love cast member shares son Phoenix and daughter London Reum with her husband of almost three years, Carter Reum. During a recent catch-up with E! News, Paris revealed that she doesn't want her son or daughter to follow in her famous footsteps.
"I hope that they're not [famous]," Paris admitted to the outlet, noting that it's because, "it's a lot."
"You need to be very strong," she explained about one of the major potential downfalls of fame. "I am very strong and I know I'm going to raise them to be, but I just hope that they do what they want to do."

How many kids does Paris Hilton have?
Paris, who is the eldest child of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills friend Kathy Hilton, has son Phoenix Barron Hilton-Reum and daughter London Marilyn Hilton-Reum with her entrepreneur husband.
The couple welcomed both of their children via surrogate (and the public wasn't aware until after each of the kids was born). Carter and Paris began IVF shortly after they exchanged vows in 2021.
Phoenix was born on January 16, 2023, and his sister joined the family 10 months later, on November 11, 2023.

"His name is going to be Phoenix. I always wanted to name my children after cities or states or countries," she said on the Peacock original. "When I told Carter the name, he loved it."

Paris decided on her daughter's name long before she was born (and she happened to be born on her parents' anniversary!).
"Introducing London Marilyn Hilton-Reum. I’ve dreamed of having a daughter named London for as long as I can remember. I’m so grateful she is here," Paris wrote on Instagram when she announced her daughter's birth in the spring of 2024. "I truly cherish every moment I spend with her. Together with Phoenix, my angel babies have shown me a love that I never even knew could run so deep before I became their mother."
Paris and Carter are content with their brood of two at the moment, but Kathy's daughter does envision adding another child to the mix in the future.
“We’ll see,” Paris said about having more kids on an episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen back in November 2023. “I’m just loving having my little boy and girl right now. But I’m probably going to want a little sister for London."
