Paris Hilton accidentally caught her toddler son’s potty mouth moment in a now-viral video on TikTok.
“When you think you’re capturing a sweet moment and then…,” the 44-year-old mom said just before Phoenix, two, can be heard saying: “F***.”
In the footage posted on February 18, Hilton is sat next to her son, who she welcomed with her husband Carter Reum via surrogacy back in January 2023. Hilton has her forehead pressed against Phoenix’s as he picks at a bowl of food in front of him.
“What did you just say?” she asked, laughing hysterically. “F***,” Phoenix replied, repeating the word three more times in between little giggles.
“How do you not laugh at this?” Hilton asked her followers. “I know I shouldn’t laugh but I can’t help it! Toddlers are actually little comedians.”
Fellow moms took to the DJ’s comments section to assure her this was “very normal” for two-year-olds.
In fact, Step Up star Jenna Dewan confessed she’s heard her four-year-old son Callum using the word. “I have this exact same toddler moment on video too,” she told Hilton.
“Mine stubbed her toe and went ‘ouch my god damn toe,’” one woman wrote. “Parenting is wild.”
A third said: “Mama of 4 here, all 4 of my kids would say their first few swear words the first time and I always laughed. If you don’t laugh it off, then you’re not doing it right, lol.”
“Ah, the universal toddler experience. You handled it well, Paris,” a fourth added.
Hilton has often shared intimate details about being a mom online. However, the public hasn’t always been so supportive.
During the second season of her Peacock reality series, Paris in Love, Hilton admitted she was “scared” to change Phoenix’s first diaper. “Should I learn how to change his diaper?” Hilton jokingly asked her sister, Nicky Hilton Rothschild, before changing it.
“I said I wouldn’t do this on my birthday, but I will for you,” she said to Phoenix, who was just 32 days old at the time. Next to her, Nicky and Phoenix’s nanny Gena give Hilton pointers on how to swap out the dirty diaper for a clean one.
The TV scene was later posted on TikTok by @realitytvking, receiving over 2.6 million views and spawning several comments from concerned parents.
“I feel bad for judging because I don’t know Paris. Obviously none of us do… but like… really? You never change your baby’s diaper? What?” one perplexed person wrote, while another said: “I don’t wanna sound like I’m mom-shaming but come onnnn A MONTH?!? Even my husband changed a diaper after a day!!”
