Paris Hilton is once again in the spotlight—this time for a rather unexpected reason. A clip from her reality show, Paris in Love, recently went viral, triggering a wave of criticism after it revealed that she changed her son’s diaper for the first time when he was already a month old.
On December 6, the eighth episode of Paris in Love sparked widespread conversation. The episode, filmed on February 17, showed a behind-the-scenes look at Paris’s early days as a new mom. In this episode, the star revealed that her son, Phoenix, had just turned 1 month old, and she had only changed his diaper once since his birth.
The scene that captured attention featured Paris learning how to change a diaper from her younger sister, Nicky Hilton. As Paris fumbled with the task, Nicky patiently guided her, teaching her how to tell the front from the back of the diaper and how to properly secure it so that Phoenix would be comfortable. At one point, sensing Paris’s hesitation, Nicky reassured her with a gentle reminder: “Don’t be afraid to get your hands dirty when you’re a mother.”
While the moment between the sisters was lighthearted, the public response was far from it. Viewers took to social media to express their disappointment in Paris, with many criticizing her for not taking a more hands-on role in caring for her son. One user wrote, “Is your son just an accessory? How can you wait a whole month before changing his diaper?” Another commented, “We understand that wealthy families often have nannies, but not changing your own baby’s diaper for that long needs to be reconsidered.”
Other netizens chimed in, accusing Paris of neglecting an important part of motherhood. Some even speculated that Paris’s glamorous lifestyle might make her out of touch with the realities of raising a child. “What kind of mother only changes one diaper in a month?” asked another commenter.
Despite the criticism, Paris has remained joyful in her role as a new mom. Just a few weeks before this episode aired, Paris announced the birth of her second child, a daughter named London, born via surrogacy at the end of November. Fans rallied around her, sending messages of congratulations and love for the newest addition to her family.
Paris Hilton, who married businessman Carter Reum in November 2021, has often spoken about the joy her children bring her. Phoenix, her first child, was also born via surrogacy in January 2023. Despite the backlash, Paris seems committed to embracing motherhood in her own way and continues to share these personal moments with her fans.
