Paris Hilton is shutting down pregnancy rumors.

The socialite responded to reports Tuesday that she is expecting her first child withfiancé Carter Reum during her podcast, "This is Paris." Hilton denied the unfounded claims and clarified that she is waiting to have kids after her wedding. 

"I am not pregnant. Not yet. I am waiting until after the wedding. My dress is being made right now so I want to make sure it looks gorgeous and fits perfectly." 

Though Hilton said she is unsure how the rumors started, she quipped that it may be due to her new push-up bra. 

"I'm assuming it was the Paris Hilton push-up bra from my new lingerie line. I was wearing it to dinner with my fiancé... and I guess some people got some shots, put them out and now they have a very reliable source that says Paris Hilton is pregnant."

Paris Hilton said she and her fiancé, Carter Reum, are waiting to have kids after their wedding.

Hilton added she is "very used to" rumors spreading about her after being in the spotlight for so many years. "This rumor is definitely not true," she said, after saying she "can't wait to have children." 

She said she plans to have children next year after her wedding — more specifically, a baby girl named London, "because I just love London and Paris together," as well as a baby boy, who will be named after a city or country too. However, she won't disclose that name publicly just yet. 

"I'm going to keep it a surprise, and I don't want anyone stealing my baby name for that one," she said. "Stay tuned for 2022, and don't believe what you read always." 

Earlier this morning, Hilton's sister Nicky denied the pregnancy rumors during an Avenue magazine photo shoot, saying "it's not true."

Hilton and Reum, who got engaged in February, previously opened up about their plans to have children, primarily through IVF treatments. According to Hilton, she started looking into IVF because it was "the only way" she could ensure that she can have "twins that are a boy and a girl."

"We have been doing the IVF, so I can pick twins if I like," Hilton said while appearing on The Trend Reporter with Mara podcast in January. "I'm really excited just to move on for the next step of my life and finally just have a real life…because I really do believe that having a family and having children is the meaning of life."
