Hilton previously revealed that it was Kim who introduced her to her fertility doctor, who is Beverly Hills IVF ‘magician’ Dr. Andy Huang, according to Vogue.
Kim is all too familiar with the IVF process and surrogacy being that it’s how she welcomed three of her four children with Kanye West.
In a statement to PEOPLE on Tuesday, Hilton spoke about finally starting a family with husband as well as the love they share for their son.
‘It’s always been my dream to be a mother and I’m so happy that Carter and I found each other,’ it read.
‘We are so excited to start our family together and our hearts are exploding with love for our baby boy.’
She did not reveal further details about the birth.

Along with Kardashian, the likes of Chrissy Teigen publicly congratulated Hilton.
Teigen, who recently gave birth to her third child with musician John Legend, wrote: ‘a BABY!!!!!! congratulations so happy for you both!!’

Last month, Hilton shared that she started in vitro fertilization (IVF) back in mid-2020 before Reum ever proposed.
She was recently forced to clarify the status of their IVF journey after her mother Kathy Hilton claimed the pair were struggling to conceive.
‘I have tons of embryos that are waiting, we’ve been stocking up on a lot of them,’ Hilton fired back after she was asked about her mother’s remark by TMZ.
In early 2022, Hilton told E! News that she wanted ‘two or three’ kids with the millionaire entrepreneur and even had a desire for twins.

She also said she would want ‘maybe a boy first’ since she always dreamed of having an older brother to ‘protect’ her.
While appearing on the Trend Reporter With Mara podcast in 2021, Paris described the IVF process as ‘tough, but I knew it would be worth it. I did it a couple of times.’
Hilton said at the time that she and Reum were ‘planning our babies names and all of that,’ adding: ‘Just doing it together and having a partner that is just so supportive and always makes me feel just like a princess all the time…that it wasn’t that bad.’
It was her former assistant Kardashian who introduced her to IVF. The reality TV star welcomed three of her four children via surrogate.
Kim further helped out Hilton by urging her to visit renown fertility specialist, Dr. Andy Huang, who is based in Los Angeles and was featured on Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

‘[Kim] was the one who told me about that. I didn’t even know anything about it. I’m happy that she told me that advice and introduced me to her doctor,’ she said.
‘So, I’m really excited to just move on for the next step of my life, and finally just have like a real life,’ Hilton continued. ‘Because I really do believe that having a family and having children is the meaning of life.
‘And I haven’t got to experience that yet, because I didn’t feel like anybody deserved that love from me, and now I finally found the person who does.’
Paris revealed in September 2021 they were looking for a baby name for a son.’I have baby London, which is the girl, and I’m trying to figure out a name for the boy,’ she said.

Married: The pair wed in a ceremony November 2021 at Hilton’s grandfather Barron Hilton’s Bel-Air estate. She told her Instagram followers that she ‘felt like Cinderella’ on her special day and declared Reum her ‘soulmate’
‘So if you have any suggestions, I’m asking my friends. I don’t want a theme of cities, but I don’t know — it’s hard to decide. London for sure for the girl; the boy, I’m just still trying to decide on.’

Also in November 2021, news that Reum was the father of Bellizzi’s daughter made headlines. This prompted Reum to release a statement addressing the matter through a spokesperson.
‘The people who this story matters to have known about it for 10 years. Carter supports this child,’ it began.
‘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.’

At the time he got down on one knee, the pair had dated for just over two years.
The duo had been friends for years before taking things to a romantic level in December 2019.
The inseparable couple went public on January 5, 2020 while canoodling at the Warner Bros. and InStyle’s Golden Globes after-party.
