Perez Hilton has become a dad for the third time – and his newest arrival has a very unusual name.
The former Celebrity Big Brother contestant welcomed a daughter via surrogate earlier this month.
The infamous gossip blogger shared his happy news on Instagram on Tuesday as he posted a photo of himself in the hospital, cradling his newborn daughter.

He said:
“I am beaming with joy and pride as I share with you that my family has grown yet again.
“Last week my son and daughter welcomed a sister into the world!
“Grandma is over the moon and so are her siblings!”
And it looks like the family’s newest arrival has a very unique name – with some very special inspiration.

He explained:
“Mayte Amor was born on Wednesday, October 4th at 3:26 PM – weighing 7 lbs 4 oz, measuring 20 inches long, and she’s perfect!
“Named after her grandparents – Mario & Teresita – their love will forever flow through her and protect her and all of my kids.”
The proud dad added that little Mayte “waited until 41 weeks to make her fashionably late arrival.”

He continued:
“She’s doing everything a newborn should do and doing it so well.
“She’s a whole 7 days advanced!
The 39-year-old, who is already the doting dad of Mario and Mia, finished off his sweet announcement with a series of thank you messages to his family and friends.

He said:
“Thank you to my sister for keeping everything running so smoothly on the site.
“Thank you to everyone who’s reached out with love and concern over my needed social media break.
“And, 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!
“I am deliriously tired and equally happy! This is a very special time for me and my family!
“Family time is the best time! Family first! They are my everything!”
