In the early hours of November 24, singer, actress, and socialite Paris Hilton took to her Instagram account to announce that she was "thankful for my baby girl," followed by a holding back tears emoji, a red heart emoji, and a baby girl emoji in the caption. The post also comprised an image with a pink-colored baby-growing outfit with “London” embroidered on it.
Initially, it was unclear whether the child had arrived or not, but a couple of hours after the Instagram post, Hilton commented on TikTok under a fan post declaring, "My princess has arrived." Later, she also confirmed the same via her multiple Instagram stories.
Meanwhile, netizens assumed that the word “London” on the baby outfit picture was the name of her new baby girl, as she previously expressed her wish to name her daughter London someday.
Also, the viral image saw fans claiming that just like Disney’s London Tipton character is reportedly inspired by Paris Hilton, she decided to honor them back by naming her second child London.
In this regard, an X (formerly Twitter) user commented under @PopBase’s tweet reporting the viral news.

On Friday, Paris Hilton announced that she welcomed her second child, a baby girl, with her husband, author Carter Reum, via a heartwarming post on Instagram. This new and exciting news comes less than a year after the couple welcomed their first child, son Phoenix, via surrogacy in January 2023.

It’s noteworthy that during her 2022 appearance on The Ellen Show, Paris Hilton shared how she planned on having a baby girl and would name her London Marilyn Hilton Reum.
“Marilyn after my grandmother and London because it’s my favorite city and I think Paris and London sound cute together,” the Hollywood Love Story star told Ellen.
In mid-2023, Hello! Magazine also reported that Hilton was undergoing IVF treatment to welcome a new baby.
The latest news comes days before the premiere of the second season of her show Paris in Love on Peacock.
