“Because we were so excited and wanted to tell our families, but we were just nervous because if you tell a person, then they tell someone, and all the sudden, it’s in TMZ or Page Six, and I’ve had enough of my life like that,” she continued. “So Carter and I literally made a pact together that we would not tell anyone, and no one knew until just recently.”
That decision meant that Paris' mom,Kathy Hilton, didn’t meet grandson Phoenix Barron until he was about a week old.
