Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton has welcomed his second child into the world, and posted pictures of the newborn baby girl on his website. 

Perez in 2013 posted an announcement that his first child, a son he named Mario, had been born.

Then, again on his website, he posted an image of his second child Mia Alma’s toes, writing: “It is with great pride and relief that I can finally announce: I am a dad again!”

The 37-year old spoke to the Associated Press, saying he named his daughter Mia Alma, as it means “my soul” in Spanish, because “I’m cheesy like that.”

He said: “The road to this birth has been a difficult journey, quite different from the first time, and my son and I are overjoyed at this happy and healthy addition to our family.

“Every child is a blessing and this Mother’s Day was extra blessed for me and my mother!

“From my family to yours, much love! Perez.”

It is likely that Perez will gradually introduce Mia into the world via social media, as he did with his son. He wrote on Facebook: “Family is everything to me! This is what I dreamed of and live for!”

In an exclusive interview with PinkNews in 2011, the controversial blogger said he had changed and that he was going to “show the world more of [his] true self.”

Before being evicted from Celebrity Big Brother this year, Perez continuously attracted complaints from fellow housemates and viewers due to his outlandish behaviour and outspoken remarks.

He compared living with Katie Hopkins to the AIDS crisis.
