Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, whose real name is Mario Lavandeira, has been ordered to undergo psychiatric evaluation before he can have supervised visits with his two children, according to court documents obtained by multiple outlets. The ruling, issued by a Los Angeles judge, grants temporary custody of the children to Hilton's mother, Barbara Lavandeira.
The court order, dated August 2026, stipulates that Hilton must receive 'psychiatric clearance' before any visitation can occur. The children, a son and a daughter, are currently in the care of their grandmother. The specific reasons for the psychiatric requirement were not disclosed in the public documents, but the judge cited concerns for the children's well-being.
Hilton, who has been open about his struggles with mental health in the past, has not publicly commented on the ruling. His attorney stated that Hilton is cooperating with the court's orders and is committed to doing what is best for his children. The next court hearing is scheduled for September 2026.
This development comes amid a contentious custody dispute between Hilton and the children's mother, whom he was never married to. The mother's legal team declined to comment on the specifics of the case, citing the privacy of the family.
