AceShowbiz - Paris Hilton, a name synonymous with the glitz and glamour of "The Simple Life", is now embarking on a simple life of her own - one rooted in the joys and responsibilities of motherhood. During The Future of Everything Festival organized by The Wall Street Journal, Hilton candidly discussed her perspectives on raising her children, 1-year-old Phoenix and 6-month-old London, with her husband, Carter Reum.
In her interview, Hilton expressed a desire for her children to steer clear of the constant connectivity and potential pitfalls of social media and smartphones. "I hope that they are nerds like their dad and don't want anything to do with that," she said.
This reveals a poignant shift from her well-known socialite reputation, hinting at a preference for a more grounded and possibly academic path for her children.
She further emphasized the importance of delaying smartphone use for her children, voicing concerns about the pervasive digital age's impact on young minds. "I'm going to try to not have them have a phone for a while," she continued.
Hilton's stance resonates with many contemporary parents who worry about the premature exposure to the vast and often unfiltered information available online.
Her humorous yet serious tone added an interesting layer to the conversation, "Some of these kids are just getting phones at way too young of an age, and there are just so many things online that I wouldn't even want my children to be exposed to."
It's a stance that situates Hilton at the crossroads of traditional parenting and the challenges of the 21st century, reflecting a growing trend among parents aiming to preserve a child's innocence in an ever-connected world.
Laughing, she added, "I never thought I'd say this, but I'm going to be the strict mom."
Hilton's transformation from a social media staple to a cautious, vigilant parent underscores a significant personal evolution and highlights a critical discourse on responsible parenting in the digital age.
In a previous incident last year, Hilton also faced cyber trolls who commented on her son's appearance, showcasing the downsides of public exposure and the protective instincts that parenthood provokes.
Paris Hilton's approach serves as a compelling narrative for young parents navigating similar challenges, illustrating how even the most notorious of public figures can pivot towards a life of thoughtful and protective parenting.
