Paris Hilton and husband Carter Reum have revealed why they don’t share photos of their daughter London, despite regularly posting sweet snaps of their son on social media.
Paris, 43, welcomed baby girl London in November last year, announcing her daughter’s arrival on Instagram with a photo of a pink baby outfit that had the new arrival’s name on.
Since then, however, we’ve seen no sign of the tot on the grid – just plenty of pics of London’s older brother Phoenix, who turned one in January.
It’s something many of her followers have picked up on, with one commenting on a recent post: “Where is your baby girl? You only show your son why something just doesn’t seem right.”

Someone else wrote: “Did she have another kid who is never in their fam pics? Or am I high.”
Some people even started to speculate about why it might be, from ‘keeping her from the public eye after how cruel people were to her son’ to ‘waiting till season 3 of her show I believe to reveal the other child’.
"How about they are being mindful to give Phoenix his one on one time with his parents?” another suggested diplomatically.
But now both Paris and Carter have spoken out about what turns out to be a very conscious decision.
Responding to some of the confusion underneath a TikTok video of Paris and Phoenix playing together, the mum-of-two didn’t say much, but promised fans they would see London ‘soon’, also posting a series of love heart emojis.
Carter also hit back in a comment on Instagram as others begged to see a snap of their daughter.
He said they simply were ‘not quite ready to share her [with] the world’, adding: “But she’s adorable and looks just like her mamma.”
When Paris started sharing photos of little Phoenix, some Instagram users took it upon themselves to make fun of the baby's head shape, while also offering the new mum unsolicited medical advice.
She later hit out at the trolls to say that, even though she lives in the spotlight and accepts certain comments are 'inevitable', targeting her child - or 'anyone else's for that matter' - was 'unacceptable'.
"I've worked hard to cultivate an environment that is all about love, respect, and acceptance, and I expect the same in return," Paris said, continuing: "If I don't post my baby, people assume I'm not a great mother and if I do post him, there are some people who are cruel and hateful."
She stressed that she was a 'proud working mom' and that little Phoenix is 'perfectly healthy, adorable and angelic'.
"I've dreamt of being a mom for as long as I can remember," she revealed. "Phoenix is my world and has been the biggest blessing of my life."
Paris said that every day with her son was a 'reminder of what truly matters', adding: "It's hard to fathom that there are people in the world who would target such innocence.
"I hope that people can treat one another with more kindness and empathy."
