She may have been the Club Queen in the early aughts, but that doesn’t mean Paris Hilton wants her babies Phoenix, 2, and London, 16 months, to follow in her pink high-heeled footsteps. Especially not when they’re underage! The Simple Life alum revealed she already has a plan to hinder her babies from sneaking out as teenagers, and it’s a brilliant idea that we are ready to start implementing now.
Hilton, who shares Phoenix and London with husband Carter Reum, appeared on the cover of Grazia Magazine, where she vulnerably admitted the thought of her little ones growing up scares her.
“I get scared about thinking about them as teenagers and how fast the world is moving,” Hilton told Grazia. She has years to go, but time moves differently as a parent. I myself have spiraled into a ball of anxiety thinking about my three kids reaching their teenage years, and it’s not for the faint of heart!
One reason in particular Hilton is nervous is the thought that they might want to sneak out of the house and get up to no good. “It also makes me nervous to think about them sneaking out,” Hilton continued. “I know how dangerous the world can be.”
The heiress and DJ has been open about her abusive experience at a boarding school as a teen, which came about due in part to “sneaking out at night” at 16 years old. At a press conference at Capitol Hill in 2023 to introduce a bipartisan Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act, Hilton said of that time, “I witnessed and experienced sexual abuse from adult staff as well as endured verbal and emotional abuse daily. I was yelled at, dehumanized, silenced, and stripped of any semblance of privacy. What I went through will haunt me for the rest of my life.”
It’s no wonder the thought of her babies sneaking out in the future causes her so much fear and anxiety!
Instead of living in the worries, though, Hilton has a plan. She’s going to make her home a safe place that her babies will want to be in even as they grow up.
“I’m thinking I’ll make a house so much fun that they won’t even ever want to go out,” Hilton told the outlet, adding that she is planning on raising her kids “to be good human beings and love sports and music and to be super busy in school.”
This strategy is perfect! Make their home life such a safe haven that your kids don’t feel the need to escape.
The “Stars Are Blind” singer also dished on some of her favorite things to do with her babies now, which includes reading “a lot of bedtime stories,” making “little statues out of Play-Doh,” and “being creative.” “They love singing and dancing,” Hilton continued. “And they love ‘Stars Are Blind.’ They like it more than ‘Baby Shark.’” Iconic!
One place her kids can go out “clubbing” is their home! Hilton has shared several videos of her kids that remind us of her Y2K party era, including a video of her home transformed into a pink-tinted club for her birthday.
“Clubitis is hereditary👶🏼,” Hilton quipped in the caption on TikTok. “Sliving with #BabyP is more fun then going out in the early 2000s #MomEra.”
These celebrity parents are sharing the struggle — and sweetness — of raising teenagers.
