“Phoenix has a few good pop culture reference points, but more importantly it’s the bird that flames out and then rises from the ashes to fly again,” she continued. “I want my son to grow up knowing that disaster and triumph go around and come around throughout our lives. And that this should give us great hope for the future.”
Hilton explained that the little one’s middle name is a tribute to her late grandfather, Barron Hilton.
“But for now, we’ve just been keeping everything really private. Not even my mom, my sisters, my best friend knew until he was over a week old,” Hilton revealed. It was really nice to have that with Carter, be our own journey together. I just feel like my life has been so public, and I’ve never really had anything be just mine."
Later, Hilton added, “From the moment I laid eyes on him, my heart felt so full. I feel like my life is so complete now. I always wanted to be a mom.”
