Hilton was beyond ecstatic to update her 25.5 million followers on the arrival of her daughter on Thursday. To that end, she joyfully disclosed the gender and name of her newborn by sharing a photo of a pink baby outfit placed on a similarly toned background.
The outfit included a cute pink dress that not only featured a bright collar and slightly flared sleeves but also had the name "London" written on its front. The other parts of the ensemble were pink bottoms, a brown teddy bear with pink ears and neckpiece, and pink-rimmed heart-shaped sunglasses.
In the caption, the 42-year-old superstar expressed her gratitude, writing, "Thankful for my baby girl." The post has accrued nearly 290k likes and thousands of comments from fans who felt just as happy as Hilton.
Focusing on the baby's name, one fan gushed, "Oh my God, Paris I know you've been planning on this name for years. Congratulations!!!," a second penned, "PARIS AND LONDON. ICONS," and a third added, "OMGGGG CONGRATS!!! Iconiiiiiic."
Similarly, this fan noted, "Paris naming her baby London.... Iconic. I love it," while another recounted, "Omg you've talked about naming your baby girl London for like 20+ years."

"OMG, you're finally getting your baby girl! So happy for you!! Congratulations, Paris!," a sixth Instragram user exclaimed, as Kimora Lee Simmons effused, "Omggg! Congratulations you guys! This is so amazing! Cant wait to meet London!"
Hilton's surprising news comes just a little over a year since she took to X, formerly Twitter, to inform her supporters of her and her husband, Carter Reum, plans for their future.
"For those asking, my husband & I wanted to enjoy our 1st year of marriage as a couple & we we're planning on starting our family in 2023. IVF is a journey for everyone but we're so fortunate that we have lots of healthy embryos ready & waiting. Excited to become a mom in 2023!" the 2001 "New York's Leading It Girl" declared.
True to her word, she announced to the world in January 2023 that she and the venture capitalist had welcomed their first child, a son, via surrogacy.
The 'Paris: The Memoir' Author Also Surprised Fans With Her First Child
As reported by The Blast, "The Simple Life" star shared the delightful news on Instagram with a sweet image featuring her hands tenderly cradling her newborn's hand. In the picture, the "Confessions of an Heiress" author's impeccably manicured nails were painted a light blue, and her son's hand securely grasped her thumb.
Hilton's announcement photo did not reveal the faces of either her or her child, making it impossible to determine the baby's gender. Despite that, onlookers were quick to draw a line between the color of her nails and the child's gender, claiming that blue is usually reserved for male kids.
The gender speculations were further aided by "The World According to Paris" star's inclusion of a blue heart emoji in her caption. It simply read, "You are already loved beyond words 💙."
As expected, the announcement garnered swift and positive reactions from fans, friends, and colleagues, such as Chrissy Teigen, who congratulated her on the surprise news.
"A BABY!!!!! congratulations so happy for you both!!," Teigen's response read, while "All the Bright Places" actress Elle Fanning expressed, "CONGRATULATIONS! Most beautiful mommy," and television personality Morgan Stewart typed, "Omg!! Congrats !!" Pageant queen Olivia Culpo wished the newest mother in town a big "congratulations!"
Model Carmella Rose also chimed in, "Omg!! Congrats beautiful, gonna be the best momma."
As for Hilton and Reum, the couple began their romantic relationship in December 2019. The M13 Ventures founder would then go on his knees to ask for the "I Am Paris" podcaster's hand in marriage on February 13, 2021.
The lovebirds wasted no time in making things official as they got married later that year on November 11 in a lavish ceremony held in Los Angeles.
