Paris Hilton lied to her family, friends and employees about the birth of her child through surrogacy
The celebrity achieved the impossible: keep the birth of her only child a secret until she herself decided to announce it through social networks several weeks later.
Achieving this feat was possible because she did not have to hide a pregnancy, since her little Phoenix came into the world through surrogacy.
Even so, Paris had to have an excuse ready in case someone saw her with a newborn in her arms, because she knew that would raise suspicions, so she decided to pretend it was her nephew.
At that time she was recording the new season of her reality show ‘This Is Paris’, and the cameras documented the entire process to deceive loved ones.”Paparazzi will be everywhere if someone tries to find them out. I hope and pray that no one at the hospital tells about it,” Paris explained at the time. “No one in this house knows.
None of the people who work at my company know. My friends don’t know. My own family doesn’t know.” To her husband Carter, such caution seemed unnecessary, because he couldn’t imagine someone close to him leaking the news to the press, but he agreed to play along because he knows that he is a novice when it comes to dealing with fame and that his wife knows very well his darker side.
“I don’t think he was ever fully aware that we weren’t going to tell anyone,” Carter acknowledged. “That was Paris’s idea. My initial inclination was to tell my family and have everyone get excited at the same time as both of us.
Her was to keep it a secret, but she’s had to protect herself her whole life, so I was going to do everything possible to be a good teammate.
