The couple married in an extravagant three-day ceremony in November 2021. On Tuesday, Paris confirmed to People that she and Reum recently welcomed their son via surrogate. “It’s always been my dream to be a mother and I’m so happy that Carter and I found each other. We are so excited to start our family together and our hearts are exploding with love for our baby boy,” she told the publication exclusively.

Paris has been open about her desire to start a family before, telling E! News in January 2022 that becoming a mother was one of her ‘top priorities’. “I would want twins first,” she had said in the interview, and added that she specifically wants two or three children. “I don’t know it’s hard to say. I always wish I had an older brother because I feel like if I did then he would protect me and things like that in school.”
