Perez Hilton is now a father
to a baby boy!
The openly gay blogger,
whose real name is Mario Lavandeira Jr., took to his eponymous blog Wednesday
afternoon in a post titled "A Very Important Message from Perez" to
share the news "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," the 34-year-old
wrote.
There was no word of who the
birth mother was or the tiny tot's name, or if the child came to be through
adoption or surrogacy. But Hilton did share a photo of himself cradling and
gazing down at the little guy in what we presume is a hospital room. In an August
2009 interview, the blogger told the Los Angeles Times' Robin Abcarian that he
wanted to be a father by age 35 and that he had already investigated
surrogates.
Hilton was spotted shopping
for baby clothes in West Hollywood in January, according to the Daily Mail. The
blogger made a name for himself back in 2004 when he started posting snarky
comments and doodling on tabloid photos of celebrities on his site. The first
iteration of the gossip site was called PageSixSixSix.com.
Since then, the Miami native
has toned down the snark and become a household name, even hobnobbing with the
celebs he teases, becoming a celebrity in his own right. The website reportedly
gets 300 million page hits a month, and the birth of his son seems to have
humbled the formerly sharp-tongued blogger, because he took a moment to show
his appreciation for his fans in the baby announcement
