Gay blogger Perez Hilton welcomes baby daughter via surrogate

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Perez Hilton had an extra special Mother’s Day: He spent it with his brand-new baby girl.

Hilton says his daughter, Mia Alma, was born May 9 afternoon via surrogate. The celebrity blogger said by phone May 11 that spending the day with his mom and baby girl “was the best way to celebrate Mother’s Day.”

His daughter’s name means “my soul” in Spanish, he said, “because I’m cheesy like that.”

Mia is Hilton’s second child. His son, Mario Armando Lavandeira III, was born in 2013.

Hilton spoke to The Associated Press as he returned from the Midwest to his New York home with his newborn and was preparing to introduce the siblings for the first time.

He didn’t say where the child was born to protect the surrogate’s identity.
