Perez Hilton’s loved ones are ensuring his children are well cared for. 

One week after the celebrity blogger was hospitalized in Miami for engaging in self-harm during a livestream, his mother Teresita Lavandeira has filed for temporary custody of his three children, aged between 8 and 13.

According to Miami court documents obtained by multiple outlets, Hilton (real name Mario Lavandeira Jr) “voluntarily consented” to the custody request, allowing his mother to authorize the children’s necessary medical and dental care, access their medical and educational records, and make educational decisions on their behalf. 

Hilton’s signature on the documents, as reported by Page Six, included acknowledgment that the temporary custody arrangement “is in the best interest of the children.” The court documents also confirm that Hilton “may, at any time, petition the court to return legal custody” to him. 

An attorney for Perez told People in a statement, “My main concern and objective, as well as the family’s, is to protect the children and ensure their safety. We want them to have some sense of normalcy as they begin their journey of healing after the tragic events that occurred last week.”
