Paris Hilton Returns to Red Carpet After Becoming a New Mom
On Saturday night, Paris Hilton and her husband Carter Reum walked the red carpet at Clive Davis’ annual pre-Grammy Gala in Los Angeles. The couple recently welcomed their first child via surrogate in January, a baby boy who’s name has yet to be revealed. This was their first red carpet appearance since becoming new parents.
Hilton went full glam for the occasion, wearing a black sequined gown with an off-the-shoulder neckline. She was wearing black toe-pointed heels, carried a black clutch with a rhinestone bow detail, and had her hair swept up into a tall bun with some tendrils framing her face. Around her neck was a string of diamonds.
Reum wore a blue velvet tux with black lapels, with a classic white button down and a sharp bowtie. He leaned in for a kiss in front of the photographers.
The pair have known one another most of their lives via family friendships, but they began dating in November of 2019. They were married in 2022 in Santa Monica, California, during their anniversary month.
In her announcement of the baby’s arrival on Instagram, Hilton wrote, “You are already loved beyond words.”
In the photo she shared, a small infant hand clutches a perfectly manicured finger, presumably Hilton’s.
She told People, “It’s always been my dream to be a mother, and I’m so happy that Carter and I found each other… We are so excited to start our family together and our hearts are exploding with love for our baby boy.”
The gala is a big night that has been kicking off Grammys weekend since the ‘70s, but it was cancelled the last few years due to COVID-19. Saturday saw a huge crowd of celebs happy to be back, and it was billed as a Salute to Industry Icons, honoring Julie Greenwald and Craig Kallman.
