Paris Hilton shares first photos of new baby Phoenix

Paris Hilton shared the first photos of her newborn today, who she yesterday revealed was named Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum.

The 42-year-old socialite shared two photos on Instagram - one with Pheonix and her husband, Carter Reum, and another of just her and the baby.

Hilton and Reum shocked fans last month after revealing they’d welcomed a baby via surrogate.

The photos show the baby wearing a white onesie with a hat of the same colour.

The caption reads: “Baby Phoenix. Our whole entire world.”

The couple received an outpouring of praise in the comment section.

The official Hilton hotels Instagram account said, “Aww look at our new CBO (chief baby officer).”

Yesterday Hilton announced the baby's name on her podcast, This Is Paris, by reading an excerpt from her upcoming memoir Paris.

"If all goes well, by the time you read this, Carter and I will have a baby boy.

"We plan to name him Phoenix, a name that I decided on years ago when I was searching cities, countries and states on a map looking for something to go with Paris and London."

She also explained her son's middle, Barron, name is a tribute to her late grandfather and "mentor", Barron Hilton.
