Paris Hilton And Carter Reum Celebrate Son Phoenix's First Birthday With A "Sliving Under The Sea" Themed Party
"I’ve thrown amazing birthday parties my whole life, so now to be able to do this for my little boy is such a special memory."
Paris Hilton and Carter Reum just threw a first birthday party that looked like it was dreamed up by a mermaid with a credit card. Their son Phoenix turned 1, and the “sliving under the sea” theme turned the whole event into a full-on aquatic fantasy.
Guests were greeted by an elaborate balloon display, while Paris herself showed up in a ball gown and a sparkly crown that screamed Disney princess. Phoenix got to play with colored sand, splash around in his all-blue ball pit, and even meet a miniature petting zoo in the backyard, because of course he did.
And when you add the celebrity sightings, the family posing, and the sweet milestones behind their relationship, this party feels like more than just cute decorations, it feels like a victory lap.

Paris finally has the family she has always dreamed of.

She looks so content and happy in her new role as a wife and mother.

It's clear that the former party-goer has fully embraced motherhood.

Right from the balloon entrance, Phoenix’s “sliving under the sea” world was already stealing the spotlight before Paris even sat down to play with the colored sand.
Then Selma Blair popped up among the celebrity guests, and Paris was out there posing with Rumer Willis and her daughter, Louetta, like this was her personal runway.
The vibe got even more family-heavy when Barron and pregnant Tessa brought their kids, Milou and Caspian, and Kelly Osbourne rolled in with her son Sidney.
All of it lands harder when you remember Paris and Carter’s timeline, from dating in 2019 to getting married in 2021, and now celebrating Phoenix’s first birthday like it’s the best chapter yet.
We love watching Paris in her element as a mother. The former socialite has always wanted children, and after some fertility struggles, she is finally living the life she had always hoped for with the family of her dreams.
Phoenix is just gorgeous, and we can't wait to meet baby London when Paris is ready to share her with us. She sure is "sliving" her best life!
This “sliving” party was cute, chaotic, and totally on-brand, but the real flex was seeing Paris finally glow in the family life she wanted.
