Perez Hilton Is A Father, Shows Off Picture Of Son

Perez Hilton is a first time father! The openly gay celebrity blogger reveals he welcomed a son earlier this month. No other details on the baby’s birth, including the identity of his mother, were released. Hilton, whose real name is Mario Lavandeira, has not revealed the baby’s name either.  

In a statement on his website, Hilton says:

"Dear Friends,

I want you to hear this directly from me, right here.

I am ready to announce that earlier this month I was blessed with the birth of my first child, a beautiful and healthy baby boy - with lots of hair on his tiny head!

My family is overjoyed at this newest and most cherished addition.

Thank YOU for welcoming PerezHilton.com into your homes, offices, classrooms, cell phones and wherever else you may read my five websites.

And thank you for welcoming ME into your lives!

I am so humbled to welcome this little man into my life. And I am honored and ready for the challenge of guiding him through his.

With love,

Perez"

The 34-year-old also posted a picture of himself holding his newborn son. After fans and celebrities congratulated him on Twitter, Hilton tweeted, “Overwhelmed by your sweet messages of support! I keep bursting out in tears of joy! THANK YOU for sending us so much love!”

“I can't stop crying! Every time someone Tweets me "Congrats Dad" or "Daddy" the tears just start streaming! #PoppaPerez,” he later added.
