The couplewelcomed their first childtogether, sonPhoenix, via surrogate on Jan. 16, 2023. Less than a year later, theyexpanded their familyin November 2023 with a daughter named London.

After welcoming her son, Hilton opened up to PEOPLE in October 2023 about themost surprising part of motherhood.

TheParis in Lovestar also spoke with PEOPLE about how she’slearned the power of “saying no”since becoming a mother. Hilton wears many hats as a businesswoman, DJ, author and more, which she said are “definitely a lot to balance.”

“I’m constantly saying no to things, because I just want to spend as much time with him as possible, and I just don’t want to miss any of these special moments in his life and all these milestones,” she said. “He’s my everything, so I always put him first.”

Hilton’s mom, Kathy Hilton, told PEOPLE in September 2024 that she loves having sleepovers with Phoenix and London along withNicky Hilton’s three kids.

“Nothing makes me Rick and I happier than having my children andall of the grandchildrenunder one roof, whether it’s a hotel or a house,” she said.

The reality star has also discussed the role her past trauma played in her choice. Hilton toldGlamour UKin February 2023 that the sexual abuse she experienced as a teenager at Utah boarding school Provo Canyon Schoolleft her afraid of the medical examsthat go along with pregnancy.

“I’m just so scared. I think, again, leading back to Provo of even being in a doctor’s office, just all of that. The shots, the IVs that they put in,” she shared. “But I want a family so bad, it’s just the physical part of doing it. I’m just so scared … childbirth and death are the two things that scare me more than anything in the world.”

In an effort to keep her son’s birth a secret, Hiltonwore a disguise to the hospitaland didn’t tell anyone about his arrival — including her family. In the season 2 trailer ofParis in Love, the reality star explained that “if anyone found out, it would bepaparazzi all over Cedars.”

“I’ve given my whole life to everyone for so long. It’s just been really important to me to keep this a secret,” she said. “This is the first time that something’s just mine.”

Hilton waited until a week after Phoenix’s birth toshare the news with her friends and family.“Not even my mom, my sisters, my best friend knew until he was over a week old,” she revealed on her podcastI Am Parisin February 2023. “It was really nice to have that with Carter, be our own journey together. I just feel like my life has been so public, and I’ve never really had anything be just mine.”

The media personality also opened up on her podcast about howshe decided on her son’s name 10 years ago. “Phoenix has a few good pop culture reference points, but more importantly it’s the bird that flames out and then rises from the ashes to fly again,” she said. “I want my son to grow up knowing that disaster and triumph go around and come around throughout our lives. And that this should give us great hope for the future.”

By the time Phoenix was 6 months old, Hilton shared with PEOPLE that her son was already “really great with flying on the plane” and a “good traveler.” She added that she “can’t wait until he’s a little bigger so I’m able to take him everywhere … I just can’t wait for Hawaii, because I can’t wait to have him be with all of his cousins.”

At theGQMen of the Year Awards in November 2023, Hilton opened up to PEOPLE about herspecial bond with her firstborn. “It’s exciting to have this next phase in my life and just to have this little angel who just brightens up my day every morning and this smile melts my heart,” she said. “He’s my best buddy and I just am obsessed.”

She also shared that Phoenix has mastered his first words. “He says, ‘Mama.’ He says, ‘Yes.’ He says, ‘Dada’ too, now,” Hilton said. “I felt like the other day when I said, ‘I love you, bey.’ He said something back to me and it sounded like, ‘I love you.' "

Phoenix celebrated his first birthday on Jan. 16, 2024, with a"Sliving Under the Sea"-themed party. Hilton shared photos from the day on Instagram, which included plenty of kid-friendly entertainment, like a petting zoo and sand art. Hostedin Hilton’s backyard, the party also included several of her famous friends, includingLance Bass,Kelly OsbourneandSelma Blair.

“The girl is gonna be named London Marilyn Hilton Reum,” she said. “Marilyn after my grandmother and London because it’s my favorite city and I think Paris and London sound cute together.”

After welcoming London, Hilton told PEOPLE that she was “over the moon that ourlittle princess is here” and that her “life just feels so complete” with both her children.

“I am so excited to have our first holidays together,” she said. “Thanksgiving was so special, surprising everyone with London and getting to show Phoenix the Christmas tree for the first time. Seeing his eyes light up and seeing the wonder in his eyes, it’s such a magical experience. I can’t wait for our first Christmas together as a family.”

Hilton didn’t show her daughter’s face on social media until she was 5 months old, but in April 2024, she shared the first photos of London exclusively with PEOPLE.

She added, “Phoenix and London are everything to me, and I feel like the luckiest woman in the world to be married to the love of my life and have our beautiful family. We make the absolute best team, and my life finally feels complete.”
