How many episodes are in Paris in Love Season 2?

What is Paris in Love Season 2 about?
While Paris in Love Season 1 chronicled the time leading up to Paris's wedding to Carter Reum, Season 2 will largely follow the couple as their lives change forever with the arrival of their son, Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum, who was born via surrogate on Jan. 16, 2023. The storyline will feature the former Simple Life star introducing her baby boy to her family—who didn’t even know she had a child on the way—for the first time.
In addition to following Paris's new motherhood journey, the second season will capture the dramatic aftermath of the release of her book, Paris: The Memoir, which included the shocking reveal that Paris had been drugged and raped at age 15—a traumatic experience the heiress’ family didn't know about until it made headlines.
Is there a trailer for Paris in Love Season 2?
There sure is. The trailer opens with Paris saying, "I've given my whole life to everyone for so long. It's just been really important to me to keep it a secret. It's the first time that something is just mine." That something is soon revealed to be her son, Phoenix, who is wheeled into the hospital room where an excited Paris waits.
She then admits that no one, including her own immediate family members, knew about her surrogacy journey. The most exciting part of the trailer features the former party girl’s reveal to her mother, Kathy Hilton: “I got you a surprise. This is your grandson, Phoenix."
We next see Paris introducing her son to sister Nicky Hilton via FaceTime, who responds with a shocked, “What is that? Is that real?”
The trailer also shows Paris's family tearfully reacting to her memoir, setting up a season that's sure to be filled with drama and emotion. Of course, there's still some of the glitz and glam we’ve all come to expect from our favorite socialite.

Who from Paris Hilton's family is cast in Paris in Love Season 2?
While there is not an official cast list for Paris in Love Season 2, the trailer does give us a sneak peak at who from Paris's orbit will appear on the show, including:
Carter Reum, Paris Hilton's Husband
Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum, Paris Hilton's son with Reum
Kathy Hilton, Paris Hilton's mother
Nicky Hilton, Paris Hilton's sister
Who is Paris Hilton's husband?
Paris Hilton married Carter Reum on Nov. 11, 2021 in a ceremony at a private Los Angeles estate. Although the couple only began dating two years prior, they'd actually known each other since around 2005, as they're longtime family friends. Much like his famous wife, Reum also comes from money: He's the son of late business executive W. Robert Reum, the former president, chairman and CEO of Amsted Industries, a billion dollar company.
A businessman in his own right, Reum's accomplishments include co-founding the venture capital firm M13 with his brother Courtney in 2016 (clients include Pinterest, Lyft, Bonobos, Daily Harvest, Snapchat and Class Pass) and working as a Goldman Sachs investment banker from 2004 to 2006.
Reum’s relationship with Hilton is not his first foray into romancing a reality star. He has a now pre-teen daughter with Secrets of Aspen's Laura Bellizzi. However, as reported by Page Six in 2021, Reum doesn't have much contact with his first child.
“The people who this story matters to have known about it for 10 years," a spokesperson for Reum said at the time. "Carter supports this child. While he does not have a traditional father-daughter relationship with her, he has provided for her since she was born, and will continue to do so."
How old is Paris Hilton's son, Phoenix?
Paris Hilton’s son, Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum, was born on Jan. 16, 2023 via surrogate. That means as of this writing, he's not even a year old.
