Paris Hilton cradled her nine-month-old son Phoenix when she surfaced in New York this week with her husband Carter Reum.
The couple joyously announced this January that they had welcomed their little bundle of joy into the world via surrogate.
When she was spotted with her baby this week, Paris cut a casual figure in black sweats that accentuated her petite frame.
Sweeping her signature blonde locks into a bun and concealing them under a baseball cap, she jazzed up the look with a large pair of butterfly shades.
Meanwhile her dashing husband, who is a venture capitalist, threw a dark green bomber jacket over a true blue t-shirt and rounded off the look with black jeans.
Stepping out: Paris Hilton cradled her nine-month-old son Phoenix when she surfaced in New York this week with her husband Carter Reum
The family comes after Paris candidly revealed that ‘a lot of balance’ has gone into her ability to juggle her career and her baby.
‘I always make Phoenix my first priority, and I’ve learned how to say no,’ she told People,’ calling her son ‘my everything’ and noting that ‘I always put him first.’
She explained: ‘I’m constantly saying no to things, because I just want to spend as much time with him as possible, and I just don’t want to miss any of these special moments in his life and all these milestones.’
Paris initially was assiduously private about her baby, waiting until a month after the birth announcement to even disclose his name.
She and Carter hid the baby’s birth from even their immediate families until right before she broke the news on social media.
‘My entire life has been so public,’ she told Harper’s Bazaar. ‘I’ve never had anything for myself. We decided that we wanted to have this whole experience to ourselves.’
While the surrogate was in labor, Paris was so determined to protect her privacy that she even went to the trouble of disguising herself with a brunette wig and checking into the hospital under an alias.
Her decision was especially notable considering how close she is to her family, particularly her sister Nicky Hilton Rothschild and her mother Kathy Hilton.

However tension flared up between mother and daughter in November when Kathy let slip to E! News that IVF had been a ‘struggle’ for Paris.
‘I don’t know where she got that,’ Paris shot back in a TMZ interview the following day. ‘It’s never been a struggle at all.’
When Paris announced the arrival of her firstborn child, all she said was ‘You are already loved beyond words,’ on a photo of the baby’s hand holding Paris’s finger.
On an episode of her podcast This Is Paris, she spilled that Phoenix was ‘like over a week old’ before she told Kathy and Nicky about his birth.
