“It has always been my dream to be a mom and I am so happy that Carter and I found each other,” Hilton told PEOPLE.

“We are so excited to start our family together and our hearts are exploding with love for our little boy.”

She did not reveal any further details about the birth.

Although this is Hilton’s first child, Reum, 40, already shares a 10-year-old daughter with reality star Laura Bellizzi, whom he has reportedly seen “only once”.

Just a month ago, the “Simple Life” star shared that she and her husband had started an IVF journey at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

She told PEOPLE that they had “all the eggs stored and ready.”

The couple wed in November 2021 at Hilton’s grandfather Barron Hilton’s Bel Air estate.
