0:13
So, Aricia, I actually don't know if
0:15
you necessarily know this, but I
0:17
love surprises. Like,
0:20
if someone wants to obviously surprise me
0:22
with a large cash gift or,
0:24
like, a day spent pet puppies or
0:27
maybe unexpectedly dropping by my place
0:29
to help me light the pilot on my
0:31
furnace or
0:32
leaving your husband laying in your bed.
0:35
Yes. That's true. A cardboard cutout. You're
0:37
a celebrity husband. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
0:39
Yeah. That'd be weird if you left my actual husband.
0:42
But, like,
0:44
That would also be incredible. It would.
0:47
It would. Yeah. So prices are fun. I know
0:49
not everyone likes them, but I'm
0:51
here for it and -- Yeah. -- to the point where I'll throw
0:53
my own surprise party if I had
0:55
it. I love planning them and receiving
0:57
them. So -- Yeah. -- yes. Yeah. You
0:59
you lucked out because I'll play stuff for you at some point
1:02
in share. And lately, I feel
1:04
like we've seen evidence that there's a lot
1:06
of celebrities out there who also love
1:08
surprises. More so
1:10
when they're the ones doing the surprising
1:12
Mhmm. -- like Paris for
1:14
instance, last night, she dropped a huge
1:16
surprise on all of us. It looks
1:19
like she's a mom.
1:21
Yeah. And there was no pregnancy announcement,
1:24
no heads up preparing us for this
1:26
big news. Yeah. It was just surprise.
1:29
He's here. You know,
1:31
more and more, it's looking like this has become the
1:33
new way for celebrities to
1:35
reveal their baby news, which
1:38
get it. And here's a thing, you know,
1:40
I respect it. Mhmm. But as
1:42
somebody who just loves to know what
1:44
other people are
1:45
too, I ate it. Yeah. No. That's
1:47
not the kind of surprise. If I'm getting a surprise, I
1:49
want all the info. Yeah. Possible.
1:51
Yeah.
1:51
This is just like when a couple you see on social
1:53
media breaks up. Like,

3:58
So I think it's safe to say that Paris Hilton
4:01
pretty much has it all. She's
4:03
the highest paid female DJ in the world.
4:05
Mhmm. Maybe the highest paid DJ period
4:07
in the world. There's some speculation.
4:10
I don't know. Yeah. You know, she's
4:12
a successful entrepreneur. She's got
4:14
that perfume business that absolutely slaps.
4:18
Sitting on your dresser
4:20
right now? It is on my shelf.
4:22
Yes. It is one of my favorite perfumes.
4:24
Yep. You can't say it enough. You
4:26
really can't. I can't. I've tried.
4:28
Yeah. I can't. And she also
4:30
has a reported net worth of three hundred
4:32
million dollars Her
4:34
personal life is thriving. She's been
4:36
happily married to Carter Roehm. He's a
4:38
venture capitalist. Since November of
4:40
twenty twenty
4:41
one, Wondery course talked about that. Mhmm.
4:43
And now she's reached yet another
4:45
milestone. She is a mom.
4:47
Yeah. She surprised everyone
4:50
by posting last night on
4:52
her social of media. It was a close-up
4:54
photo of her baby boy's hand gripping
4:56
her very well manicured hand.
4:58
And in the caption, she
5:00
wrote, you are already loved beyond
5:02
words with a blue heart emoji. Yes.
5:05
Now Paris has confirmed to people because
5:07
because at first I saw that I was
5:08
like, we're sure this is her baby. Like,
5:10
what's going on here? Yeah. Oh. I
5:12
messaged the rich and days later because I'm, like, oh my god,
5:14
Paris is pregnant. Like, I feel like it was a
5:16
stop. Oh, yeah.
5:18
So Paris you know,
5:20
got wind of our private DM and
5:22
she was like, I gotta put this speculation
5:24
to rest. And she confirmed to people
5:26
that their son was born via
5:28
surrogate. Yes. She said, it's always
5:30
been my dream to be a mother and I'm so
5:32
happy that Carter and I found each other.
5:35
We're so excited to start our family together
5:37
and our hearts, Aricia, floating with
5:39
love for our baby boy. This
5:41
announcement had us all
5:43
experiencing whiplash because up
5:45
until
5:45
now, the details surrounding miss Durgin
5:48
and timeline of the pregnancy have
5:50
been kept hush-hush as in
5:51
They've been tested. Yeah. Yeah.
5:53
Now in
5:55
keeping with that theme. Paris has not revealed
5:58
the baby's name. Yeah. Although air
6:00
is now off the table probably. Well,
6:02
sad day for Paris. Yeah. But
6:05
in an interview with Axis Hollywood in twenty
6:07
twenty one, she said she wants
6:09
to name her kids after cities just like
6:11
she was. Mhmm. And back
6:13
then she said she was considering London
6:15
for a daughter, but would not reveal her
6:17
topic for a boy because she didn't want
6:19
anyone stealing it. Interesting. Which leads
6:21
me to my first ever theory --
6:23
Okay. -- that I'm ready to publicly share.
6:25
Wow. Love it. I fake they
6:27
picked the gender of their
6:28
baby. Oh. Because
6:30
you
6:30
can do that with idea, with money.
6:32
And I'm like, well -- Right. -- she probably
6:35
knew back then. She wanted her first child to be a
6:36
boy, which that's I have always said
6:38
I want my first child to be a boy. Now don't care.
6:40
No. No. I can't. But
6:42
yeah. Same. I
6:43
was I was like Damn. really can buy
6:45
you. Interesting. That is a good theory. Yeah.
6:47
Because why wouldn't she why wouldn't she reveal
6:50
I'm not the boy's name. Yeah.
6:52
What do you I mean, it's us. I was,
6:54
like, googling, like, there were some of
6:56
these favorite cities to
6:58
see if I could, like, maybe get an idea
7:00
what came up. Well, nothing, it was all
7:02
about how much she loves London. Uh-huh. And how
7:04
London she said London's her favorite city. There
7:06
was something about Cairo. But I was
7:08
like, would she name her kid Kairo.
7:10
Somebody else has a their child named Kairo.
7:13
There's a musician, I think, interested
7:15
in her kid Kairo.
7:16
So, well, You can't double
7:18
repeat unique names. I'm sorry.
7:21
I guess you're right. But -- Yeah. --
7:23
I don't
7:23
know. But if it ends up being Cairo, I will shit
7:25
my pants.
7:27
I will have reached my peak.
7:31
It's a hell of a peak. It's
7:33
everyone's goals to surprise yourself so
7:35
much. You shit your own pants.
7:36
Mhmm. In the
7:39
past couple of years, we've
7:41
gotten to know a lot more about Paris.
7:43
Her personal life, what her
7:45
childhood was like, she had the
7:48
docu series Paris and Love, which was mostly
7:50
about her wedding. To Carter
7:52
-- Yeah. -- and, like, their relationship. And
7:54
then her documentary, this is Paris.
7:56
And even
7:58
the rich season of Paris Hilton available
8:01
-- Bill will work for your podcast. -- your podcast.
8:06
Just gonna say it, that may be more
8:07
in-depth. Than both shows.
8:10
It is. So having been there
8:12
It is because having experienced
8:14
it personally. Yeah.
8:16
And, you know, she's been really open about
8:18
her relationship with Carter and
8:21
they've both been really vocal about their
8:23
desire to have children
8:23
together. She also talked about this on the
8:26
Bella's podcast with Nikki and Rebella.
8:28
We've been talking about kids since the
8:30
beginning, like, since the first couple,
8:32
like, months of dating. We'd love to have twins.
8:34
I think that would be amazing.
8:35
Mhmm. We want like three or four.
8:38
Paris also spoke to people last month
8:40
about her plans to have a baby, but she did
8:42
not mention anything
8:44
about the impending arrival. Yeah. told
8:46
people that Gene Carter began the in vitro
8:48
fertilization process, during
8:50
the height of the COVID-nineteen
8:52
pandemic, which do you remember we talked about
8:54
that with Tamarind Hall? No.
8:56
We don't work on her
8:57
show because we had just released the
8:59
Paris season of
9:00
each art.
9:00
Oh. And she was like, yeah. You know, she just
9:03
announced she's doing in vitro. And, like, we
9:05
that's Like, we talked about that with Danny O'Brien.
9:07
The only thing I remember is you saying
9:09
DNA instead of
9:10
NDA. I
9:11
don't recall that. Big gal. That's so
9:13
weird. Well, memory is so strange.
9:16
Of To people, Paris
9:18
said, we knew we wanted to start a family. And
9:20
I was like, this is perfect
9:22
timing. Usually, I'm on a plane two hundred and
9:24
fifty days out of the year. And let's just
9:26
get all the eggs stocked and ready, and we have
9:28
tons of them just
9:29
waiting. It's just like Alright, girl. I'll
9:31
get it. Well, that's really insensitive because a lot of
9:33
people can't even afford eggs right now. I
9:36
know. It's always
9:37
good. I went to the grocery store last night
9:39
and literally three different people commented to me
9:41
about eggs. And I was like, guys, I get
9:43
it. We're all in this together,
9:44
but come on. We're just
9:46
brain dead idiots wandering the earth,
9:48
you know. I mean,
9:49
yeah, we're we're at the bottom of the barrel. Hey. How
9:51
about the
9:51
parts of these
9:52
eggs? K. Do we have anything else to
9:54
talk about?
9:57
No. It was I mean, this is what I get recorded
9:59
in the grocery store.
10:00
Honestly, eleven fifty
10:01
five PM, but Oh, what can you do?
10:03
God. You gotta
10:04
go grocery shop terrible choice.
10:07
Back to Paris. Yeah.
10:08
We all know that IVF can be an
10:11
incredibly difficult road. Yes.
10:14
And In an interview last November with
10:16
e news, Paris' mom,
10:18
Kathy Hilton, shitster,
10:21
hinted that Paris and Carter were having a hard time
10:23
getting pregnant she said, it
10:25
breaks my heart because I know she is trying
10:27
and trying and I always say
10:29
just relax. So many
10:31
people, they struggle and it doesn't just happen
10:33
like that. But Paris refuted
10:36
Kathy's claims to
10:36
TMZ. I have tons of
10:39
embryos that are all just been waiting.
10:41
We've been stalking
10:43
up on a lot of
10:44
them. So yeah.
10:46
That's great. Is it challenging at
10:49
all? Your mom said that, you know, it's
10:51
a bit of a struggle at times.
10:52
School. where she got that. Oh, really? I've
10:54
never been
10:55
a struggle at all. This is so
10:57
funny to me. Just like
10:58
this just I
11:01
can't with these people and their parents.
11:03
Well, what we didn't see was
11:05
Paris had an earpiece and then Lisa Renna
11:07
was actually off. Screen -- Oh,
11:09
right.
11:09
-- feeding her information
11:10
-- Yeah.
11:11
-- to, you know, call Kathy a liar.
11:13
Mhmm. Mhmm. So I
11:14
was like, where's your husband mentioned this?
11:17
Yeah. She's like, why aren't
11:18
you holding my tequila in this interview?
11:21
But I
11:22
don't know. It's just funny. Like, this is very
11:24
typical of their relationship. I feel like she's I
11:26
don't know why she's saying that. Yeah. It's
11:28
just stubby.
11:30
This unnamed child
11:32
of Bharat says is her first
11:34
kid and Like
11:36
she said, hopefully, one of many.
11:38
Although, how like, these two have to
11:40
be so busy. I
11:41
know. Like, my god.
11:43
Listen. If Nick Cannon can do it,
11:45
oh, who can't
11:48
I
11:48
mean, I guess. I
11:50
mean, not a great barometer for me. No
11:53
worries. But No. The bar
11:55
is lower. First home?
11:57
Well, this may be Paris' first
11:59
child. She is known at Canon
12:01
yet. This is actually
12:03
Carter's second kid. I had no
12:05
idea. Me
12:06
neither. So this is kind of a surprise to
12:09
a lot of people as well. Yeah. Yeah.
12:11
Like, is this just the twenty twenty three
12:13
trend of, like, Yo. I've got kids.
12:15
Yeah. That doesn't mean about I like it
12:17
better than a gender reveal. I'm not gonna lie.
12:19
Oh my god. Gender reveals they need
12:21
to be. Done punishable by by
12:23
my sentence. So
12:25
the thing is Carter hasn't talked about
12:27
his child in interviews or in Paris'
12:29
DocuSeries. But it
12:31
has been confirmed that he does in fact
12:33
have a daughter. Her name has not been
12:35
revealed, and she's around ten years
12:37
old. Now his daughter's from a
12:39
previous relationship with Laura
12:41
Balitsi, the reality TV
12:43
personality. She's best known
12:45
for appearing on b h one's
12:48
show secrets of
12:49
Aspen. Never saw it. It did not
12:52
last very long. Did you see this one?
12:53
No. I didn't. I mean, maybe if I saw it,
12:56
I'd be like, oh, yeah. That rings about -- Yeah.
12:57
-- but it was
12:59
forever ago. I misunderstood. It's got a
13:00
great name. And look, it comes back to
13:03
Aspen again. Yeah.
13:05
It's all connected. What if
13:07
the child's
13:07
name is It was it was asking. I was just
13:10
gonna
13:10
say. Oh my god. That
13:12
we really will Aricia being collected. So
13:18
according to the New York Post, Carter
13:20
signed a document acknowledging that he was
13:22
the father of his daughter back
13:24
in twenty twenty without ever actually
13:26
taking a alternative test, which I think is
13:28
very interesting. That is interesting,
13:30
especially when you're rich. Yeah.
13:33
Yeah. I wonder if it's that you're so rich
13:35
or like, I don't care. I guess.
13:37
But a source close to Carter
13:39
told Page six in twenty twenty one
13:41
that he's allegedly only seen his
13:44
daughter once And the spokesperson
13:46
for Carter said that while he does not
13:48
have a traditional father daughter relationship
13:50
with his daughter, He
13:52
has provided for her since she was born
13:54
and will continue to do so.
13:56
Interesting. Yeah. Very
13:59
interesting. I don't even know that we
14:01
can say father, daughter relationship at all. It seems like it
14:03
was sperm donor, sponsor
14:05
recipient. Yeah. But,
14:07
yeah, it's it's weird. I I'm
14:09
I know it's absolutely none of my business, but I'm really curious
14:11
what the story is there.
14:12
Yeah. So yeah.
14:14
Maybe we'll get
14:15
this as Carter, the sequel to
14:17
parishes documentary. Well, if that venture capitalism
14:20
doesn't work out, which I still never
14:22
understand what that means. Yeah. I don't need it.
14:24
Other than a lot of money is exchanging
14:26
hands. Mhmm. That's the most important
14:27
part. We need to know.
14:30
I feel like we're
14:32
seeing this trend of, like,
14:35
babies via surrogate and surprise
14:37
babies via surrogate. Like, we had
14:39
Chloe first, Rebel Wilson,
14:41
now Paris, How do you think
14:43
they're able to keep these so
14:45
secretive? Because they're literally everywhere,
14:49
especially Like, I know it's not the
14:50
only two thousands anymore, but, like, she's
14:52
still everywhere. So, like, how are they I
14:54
don't understand how they're doing this.
14:56
Well, it's the surrogacy. Like, I
14:58
think I mean, all of this, of course,
15:00
is speculation and, you know, it's a
15:02
woman's choice to do whatever they want.
15:04
But I feel like there's at least
15:06
If you're doing the pros and cons of do we go the
15:09
surrogacy
15:09
route? A huge pro is
15:11
it's so much easier to hide.
15:13
That's true. Because that's
15:14
why you have to protect the surrogate.
15:16
Yeah.
15:17
And
15:17
that's I mean, I think that's,
15:18
like, the biggest thing is, like, there has to be just
15:20
absolute confidentiality they
15:22
have a very tight circle, but it's like,
15:24
it's genius. I
15:27
know. It's like I feel like it's
15:29
like they I feel like, you know, celebrities
15:31
have, you know, they get absolutely
15:33
hounded especially when it comes to
15:35
pregnancies and baby bombs.
15:37
Yep. And they were like, we're
15:40
taking this back and they have they
15:42
have out done us and I'm so
15:44
here for
15:44
it. Yeah. I mean, they haven't really had
15:47
done us. We're not Well, not us. Not
15:49
you hurt. Quite not sure. Just the
15:51
people, all
15:51
losers. Yeah. Like the media. Like, they just because
15:53
it's, like, I just remember I
15:55
have seen so many cover

16:04

16:21
to be a celebrity surrogate because
16:23

16:34
cups
16:34
