Celebrity blogger and television personality Perez Hilton has welcomed his third child, a baby girl called Mayte Amor, into the world.
“She was born on Wednesday, October 4th at 3:26 PM – weighing seven pounds and four ounces; measuring 20 inches long; and she’s perfect,” Perez posted to Instagram alongside an image of he, his new daughter and his mother.
This is Hilton’s third child via surrogate, with a name beginning with ‘M’. The single dad also has a son, Mario Armando Lavandeira III, who is four, and another daughter Mia Alma Lavendeira, aged two.
“I am beaming with joy and pride as I share with you that my family has grown yet again,” Hilton’s announcement post read. “Last week my son and daughter welcomed a sister into the world!”
In Hilton’s case, the name Mayte came via a combination of her grandparents’ names, Mario and Teresita.
“Their love will forever flow through her and protect her and all of my kids,” Hilton’s Instagram post reads.
Traditionally, ‘Mayte’ is a Spanish name, that – according to Behind The Name stems from ‘Mother Theresa’. It was also a basque name, and meant “lovable”. ‘Amore’ is Italian, which also means love.
