Perez Hilton was home alone when police were called to his home after he posted a disturbing TikTok Live on August 4.

The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office Crisis Response Unit and Licensed Mental Health Professionals are also on scene providing support and resources to the individual’s family.”

Who is the mother of Perez Hilton’s kids?

While Hilton’s egg donor remains anonymous, he did share some details about how he selected her. “One of the main reasons I chose my egg donor is because she seemed nice,” he wrote in a Huffington Post op-ed in 2017. “I’m sure money was a motive for her, but I could tell she was a good and decent person ― something that everyone from the surrogacy agency to the fertility clinic echoed. That was important to me.”
He admitted that he’d “be lying” if he said looks weren’t also a factor, but noted, “I chose my egg donor from my agency’s general pool. There’s a ‘VIP list,’ which is littered with a bunch of former beauty queens.”
Does Perez Hilton have a partner?
No, Hilton does not currently have a partner. He is a single dad and receives help from his mother, Teresita Lavandeira, in raising his children. She lives with the family in Florida.
