<p>On Thursday, <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/paris-hilton-welcomes-baby-boy-surrogate/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Paris Hilton</a> gave fans a first-look at her newborn son, Phoenix!</p>
<p>Ahead of this reveal, however, the <em>Simple Life </em>star dished on her decision to keep her motherhood journey totally private from those around her. In fact, she didn&#8217;t tell her mother, Kathy Hilton, about Phoenix until he was &#8220;over a week old!&#8221;</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Paris &; Carter Wanted To Enjoy The Experience In Private</h3>
<p>The new mother spoke on the matter on Wednesday during an episode of her <em><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/7Gl8ddlbZIXUEwCstU0aTd" target="_blank" rel="noopener">This is Paris</a> </em>podcast, and she started off by speaking on how she and Carter Reum are &#8220;just over the moon and so in love with&#8221; their baby boy.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Carter and I have been blessed with the arrival of our baby boy. He is such a precious angel, and we are just over the moon and so in love with him.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>She went on to note that the couple was strictly &#8220;keeping everything private&#8221; about their son&#8217;s arrival, and she even noted that some of her closest family and friends were left in the dark.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Not even my mom, my sister, my best friends—no one knew until he was, like, over a week old.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Regarding her and Carter&#8217;s decision, Paris pointed out that she loved the privacy, as she&#8217;s &#8220;never really had anything be just [hers].&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;It was really nice to have that with Carter, be our own journey together. &#8216;Cause I just feel like my life has been so public, and I&#8217;ve never really had anything be just mine&#8230;I really felt that I wanted this journey to be for us only.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>However, keeping such an exciting development a secret wasn&#8217;t easy, though Paris was determined to keep the announcement under wraps and out of the media&#8217;s hands.</p>
<blockquote>
<p id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-14" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html">&#8220;Of course, it was hard to keep that in because we were so excited and wanted to tell our families, but we were just nervous because if you tell a person, then they tell someone, and all the sudden, it&#8217;s in <em>TMZ</em> or <em>Page Six</em>, and I&#8217;ve had enough of my life like that. So Carter and I literally made a pact together that we would not tell anyone, and no one knew until just recently.&#8221;</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">The Family Is Already Heart-Eyes Over Phoenix</h3>
<p>When Kathy eventually got to meet her newborn grandson, Paris notes that the look on her face &#8220;was priceless.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote>
<p id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-21" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html">&#8220;When I introduced my mom to our baby boy, it was amazing to see the look on her face. She was so surprised—just the look on her face, it was priceless.&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>
<div>She wrapped up her comments by noting, &#8220;We are just so happy and just feel so blessed. He&#8217;s so perfect, and it&#8217;s amazing being a mom.&#8221;</div>
