Paris Hilton reveals son's face for the first time as she explains surrogacy decision

Paris Hilton has shared the first picture of her baby son's face as she bravely opened up about her fear of childbirth.

The 41-year-old stunned fans last month by announcing the birth of her first child with her husband Carter Reum. The happy couple welcomed their bundle of joy via surrogacy.

Paris has now revealed they named their son Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum.

Phoenix stands for "hope, rebirth and transformation" and Paris said she chose his middle name in honour of her late grandfather, Barron Hilton.

In a new picture of the family-of-three, Paris lovingly cradled her son while Carter placed a tender kiss on his wife's forehead.

In intimate the snap, shared by Glamour magazine, Paris closed her eyes as she leant into her husband.

She opened up to the publication about her decision to welcome her son via surrogacy and admitted she was "so scared of childbirth.

Paris said: "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.

"When I was in The Simple Life, I had to be in a room when a woman was giving birth and that traumatised me as well. 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."

The hotel heiress also said that she had frozen her eggs on the advice of pal Kim Kardashian and had been planning to have a baby on her own.

Paris has admitted that she hopes to have more children with her husband and has already planned their names.

The hotel heiress said she wants to name a future daughter London and is hoping to have a theme of naming her children after different cities.

"I've been planning my children’s names for years and years," she explained on her podcast.

She also said that it's a "dream to be a mother", adding that her heart is "exploding with love" for her son.

Phoenix is Paris' first child, while Carter, 41, shares a daughter with reality star Laura Bellizzi.
