Hilton becomes first-time mom
Socialite and reality TV star Paris Hilton has welcomed her first child with her husband, venture capitalist Carter Reum.
Hilton took to Instagram on Tuesday and posted a photo that seems to show the 41-year-old new mom holding her baby boy’s tiny hand.
“You are already loved beyond words,” she wrote, adding a blue heart emoji.
The heiress did not say when her baby was born or provide further details, including a name.
“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 said.
The baby boy is Hilton’s first child, while Reum shares a 10-year-old daughter with reality star Laura Bellizzi.
Best wishes flooded in from Hilton’s famous friends, including Kim Kardashian, Chrissy Teigen, Lindsay Lohan, Demi Lovato, Rosario Dawson, Poppy Delevingne, Ashley Tisdale, Naomi Campbell and
Heidi Klum.
Panic! at the Disco to disband: Longtime Panic! at the Disco frontman Brendon Urie announced Tuesday via Instagram that the pop-rock band will soon “be no more” after nearly two decades of music. The singer also had some happy news to share: He and his wife, Sarah Urie, are expecting their first child.
“Well, it’s been a hell of a journey,” Urie said. “Growing up in Vegas I could’ve never imagined where this life would take me. So many places all over the world, and all the friends we’ve made along the way.”
In order to devote his “focus and energy” to his growing family, the musician, 35, added that he intends to bring this chapter of his life to a close by disbanding Panic!
Urie formed Panic! at the Disco in 2004 with Ryan Ross on guitar, Brent Wilson on bass and Spencer Smith on drums. Over the years, the original members left the band until only Urie remained. He has performed under the moniker essentially as a solo act since 2015.
