Paris famously surprised her family and the world with news that she had welcomed Phoenix via surrogate.

"Paris is always surprising I think all of us … she had these other like gifts for me because it had just been I think Valentine's or Christmas and she'd been working so she came out and my husband had just lost his dog that was like our child, so I thought it's either a new puppy or a monkey," Hilton said. 

"I was really nervous because just to surprise someone with something like that was quite the surprise like because my mom said I am full of surprises, but that was on another level,” Paris said during the interview.
