Fans accuse Paris Hilton of editing photo of newborn baby

Instagram followers have accused Paris Hilton of editing a photo of her newborn baby, after she uploaded a sweet snap of the little one on social media.

Paris, 41, and husband Carter Reum, also 41, welcomed their first child via surrogate. Announcing the news, Paris shared the photo online, writing in the caption: "You are already loved beyond words," followed by a blue heart.

But some fans noticed something odd about the photo, with many claiming that Paris had edited the snap.

One person wrote: "This is really great. But the baby’s nails are making me so uncomfortable."

While another said: "Yay, but why photoshop the nails of a newborn."

And a third added: "The baby got its nails done straight out of the womb omg."

Meanwhile a fourth commented: "Why does that tiny baby have better looking fingernails then me?"

Others were quick to defend the couple, with another commenting: "My second daughter was born with nails looking like a perfect french manicure. The nurses were amazed. She's 5 and still has great natural nails. Kinda jealous, tbh."

And another wrote: "Everyone saying Paris Hilton manicured the baby nails but I think they just filed them?? Which is normal cuz we hand files out to all moms since the babies like to claw their faces."

Tyla has reached out to Paris' rep for comment.

Paris and Carter welcomed their little one after embarking on an IVF journey at the 'height of the Covid-19 pandemic', according to WHO Magazine.

Paris told People: "We started going and doing it like a few months in because the world was shut down.

"We knew we wanted to start a family, and I was like, 'This is perfect timing. Usually, I'm on a plane 250 days out of the year, and let's just get all of the eggs stocked and ready,' and we have tons of them just waiting."

The pair married in late 2021 and Paris has since confirmed they used a surrogate for their first child together.

She continued: "It's always been my dream to be a mother and I'm so happy that Carter and I found each other.

Elle Fanning added: "CONGRATULATIONS! Most beautiful mommy."

And Kim Kardashian commented: "So happy for you guys!!!"
