Washington (AFP) โ€“ Media personality and hotel heiress Paris Hilton announced Tuesday that she and husband Carter Reum had welcomed their first child.

Hilton posted a photo on Instagram of what appeared to be her newborn baby grasping her thumb.

โ€œYou are already loved beyond words,โ€ Hilton wrote with a blue heart emoji.

US entertainment media reported that the baby boy had been born via surrogate.

The former reality TV star, 41, had opened up in an interview last month about beginning an IVF process during the pandemic with her husband, an investor whom she married in 2021.

She told People Magazine that โ€œbecause the world was shut downโ€ early in the Covid-19 pandemic, it was the โ€œperfect timingโ€ to โ€œget all of the eggs stocked and ready.โ€

In a statement published Tuesday by People, Hilton saidย that her familyโ€™s โ€œhearts are exploding with love for our baby boy.โ€
