Paris Hilton Reveals Heartbreaking Reason She Wanted Her Firstborn to Be a Boy

Paris Hilton gave insight into why she chose to have a baby boy as her firstborn child.

Paris Hilton made a poignant confession regarding her growing family.

Hilton, 42, welcomed her first child, Phoenix, with her husband, Carter Reum, in January 2023 and while the couple is undoubtedly over-the-moon, the new mom recently admitted that having a boy first wasn't a matter of fate, but preference.

"I wanted to have a boy first because I feel like having a big brother, I wish that I had one," the Simple Life alum shared on TalkShopLive on Tuesday, Feb. 28, "because I feel like a lot of things that happened to me wouldn’t have happened if I had a big brother to protect me."

Hilton has recently opened up about the trauma she faced in her youth, including a sexual assault she suffered when she was only 15.

She further detailed that her family plans also include giving Phoenix at least one sibling. Specifically, a sister.

"So I’m really excited for Phoenix to have a baby sister one day named London. It’s my favorite city and I’ve always wanted to name my daughter London," Hilton explained.

The renowned business owner and creative also offered insight into how she picked the two names. "Well, I had actually picked that name for a long time now," she shared. "Probably over 10 years. I always wanted London. I love that name for my daughter. But for a boy, it was hard to pick because a lot of the cities that I like just wouldn’t sound good as a name."

"Like Ibiza would be so weird as a kids’ name," she continued. "Vegas would be weird, like I don’t know, it’s difficult to find a cool name that’s a city for a boy. Besides London, like that works for both. As well as it’s a P, like Paris, so I thought Phoenix, Paris and London sound amazing together."
