Meet Perez Hilton’s Newest Family Member, Daughter Mayte Amor!
Congratulations, Perez Hilton! The celebrity blogger is a dad again. The 39-year-old welcomed his third child — Mayte Amor — into the world on Wednesday, Oct. 4. He shared the exciting news with fans by writing a post detailing the baby girl's birth.
"I am beaming with joy and pride as I share with you that my family has grown yet again," he said. "Last week my son and daughter welcomed a sister into the world! Named after her grandparents — Mario & Teresita — their love will forever flow through her and protect her and all of my kids. Grandma is over the moon and so are her siblings!"
Perez's followers couldn't have been happier for him. One wrote, "My heart is full of love for your new daughter, the love she will get not only from her big brother and sister, grandma and of course one very very proud dad. I wish you all the best on another journey with your latest daughter." Another added, "OMGGG im screaming !! So happy for you and the kids. Cant wait to see her grow surrounded by all that love."
Perez welcomed son Mario Armando Lavandeira III in February 2013, and daughter Mia Alma Lavandeira in May 2015. Both kids were born via a surrogate just like Mayte.
The pop culture enthusiast added, "Most importantly, thank you to the surrogate who gave me the greatest gift anyone could ever receive! And thank you to the other two surrogates who helped us as well! And thank you to all the surrogates who give so selflessly and whose kindness is inspiring! There are still many states in America that, sadly, prohibit surrogacy and I hope to use my voice to advocate for making it legal across the country!"
