Perez Hilton has an exclusive \u2014 about himself.<\/p>\n
The 48-year-old celebrity blogger has moved back home to Miami.<\/p>\n
Hilton, whose real name is Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr., documented his first day back as an official resident Wednesday in an Instagram post. The caption: \u201cHello 305!\u201d<\/p>\n
First stop? Versailles, in Little Havana, naturally. Hilton\u2019s order: a pastelito, Materva yerba mate soda and \u201cthe real star of the show,\u201d a medianoche, roast pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles and mustard pressed in between two pieces of sweet egg toast.<\/p>\n
\u201cYummm!\u201d he says at first bite. \u201cI have not had this in years! The bread is iconic. This is probably more Cuban than a Cuban sandwich I would actually say. That hits!\u201d<\/p>\n
Hilton was not only thrilled about his meal but for pressing the reset button.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo new beginnings,\u201d the NYU said, then quoted lyrics from Gloria Estefan\u2019s 1995 song \u201cAbriendo Puertas.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s open doors and close wounds in every sense,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n
So why did Hilton make the life-changing decision to leave Las Vegas after a little over three years? The former Angeleno explained to his \u201cfram\u201d in a YouTube video<\/a> last week that a higher power had something to do with it.<\/p>\n \u201cThe holy spirit made these words come out of my mouth: \u2018Let\u2019s move to Miami,\u2019\u201d he recounted.<\/p>\n Beside religious reasons, Hilton said that raising his three children, conceived via surrogacy, in his hometown just felt right. A bunch of relatives live here, and the Belen Jesuit alum still keeps in touch with pals from high school.<\/p>\n A major health scare<\/a> earlier this year also helped put things in perspective. In March, the so-called Queen of All Media revealed he\u2019d been hospitalized for 21 days battling sepsis that was triggered by a bout with the flu and a perforated stomach ulcer. A blood clot complication followed.<\/p>\n \u201cNearly dying this year twice … you never think it\u2019s going to happen. It was just so hard,\u201d he told followers. \u201cThank you God for guiding me back to Florida where my family needs to be.\u201d<\/p>\n This story was originally published June 26, 2026 at 2:10 PM.<\/p>\n
